I believe it is talking about our new birth in Christ. It shows that we have been seperated from our old nature of sin and been seperated unto a new nature thats in Christ ,uncorruptable Holy and that this is done by God not by man . Eternaly set aside for God . If you want take a look at Colosians and give me your thoughts. Ill be here.

Colossians 2:10-11
Ye are complete in him ... In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands ... by the circumcision of Christ.

That is not what the passage is about at all...my take on it is that you don't have to be circumcised. That also agrees with Galatians 5:2...

Galatians 5:2
Behold, I Paul, say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.

however both Colossians 2:10-11 and Galatians 5:2 contradict with the following:

Genesis 17:7
And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee.

Genesis 17:10
This is my covenant which ye shall keep between me and you and they seed after thee: Every man and child among you shall be circumcised.

Genesis 17:13
He that is born in thy house, and he that is bought with thy money, must needs be circumcised: and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.

Genesis 17:19
And I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him.

Leviticus 12:3
And in the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised.

The bible is full of contradictions.

Sure. The Lord has to draw you out of hell and shut the door:

"And I have the keys of hell and death, signifies that He alone can save. By "keys" is signified the power of opening and shutting; here the power of opening hell, that man may be brought forth, and of shutting, lest, when he is brought forth, he should enter again. For man is born in evils of all kinds, thus in hell, for evils are hell; he is brought out of it by the Lord, to whom belongs the power of opening it. That by "having the keys of hell and death," is not meant the power of casting into hell, but the power of saving, is because it immediately follows after these words:

Behold, I am alive for ages of ages;

by which is signified that He alone is eternal life (n. 60); and the Lord never casts anyone into hell, but man casts himself. By "keys" is signified the power of opening and shutting, in Revelation also (3:7; 9:1; 20:1; also in Isa. 22:21, 22; in Matt. 16:19; and in Luke 11:52). The power of the Lord is not only over heaven, but also over hell; for hell is kept in order and connection by oppositions against heaven; for which reason, He who rules the one must necessarily rule the other; otherwise man could not be saved; to be saved is to be brought out of hell" (Apocalypse Revealed n. 62).
