  • In box:- Besides there being beneficial properties to the foreskin, such as protection, having its own lubricant, being full of nerves to make sex more pleasurable, and even playing a part in ejaculation. On what planet did someone think that the best way to make a covenant with God, was to cut this part of their penis off at 8 days old, traditionally without pain relief as it's meant to be "rejoicing in God commandments", then to suck blood from it, as blood covenant, and to remove the evil inclination? Because my rational and logical mind finds this hard to get around, especially when talking about cutting babies private parts, and sucking blood from them, with it still going on today. Can anyone help me on this?
  • Circumcision serves as the *physical sign* of the Eternal covenant between God and the descendants of Abraham. To the Gentiles, God redeemed us through faith and the Holy Spirit. Galatians 3:14 "so that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles, so that we might receive the promised Spirit through faith."

      But it's the same God, yes? Jews don't believe in Christ though, they quote Ezekiel 18 The son shall not suffer for the iniquity of the father, nor the father suffer for the iniquity of the son. The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself. 21 “But if a wicked person turns away from all his sins that he has committed and keeps all my statutes and does what is just and right, he shall surely live; he shall not die. 22 None of the transgressions that he has committed shall be remembered against him; for the righteousness that he has done he shall live. 23 Have I any pleasure in the death of the wicked, declares the Lord God, and not rather that he should turn from his way and live? 24 But when a righteous person turns away from his righteousness and does injustice and does the same abominations that the wicked person does, shall he live? None of the righteous deeds that he has done shall be remembered; for the treachery of which he is guilty and the sin he has committed, for them he shall die. 25 “Yet you say, ‘The way of the Lord is not just.’ Hear now, O house of Israel: Is my way not just? Is it not your ways that are not just? Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, declares the Lord God. Repent and turn from all your transgressions, lest iniquity be your ruin.[d] 31 Cast away from you all the transgressions that you have committed, and make yourselves a new heart and a new spirit! Why will you die, O house of Israel? 32 For I have no pleasure in the death of anyone, declares the Lord God; so turn, and live.” Hence he doesn't believe the sacrifice of an innocent can savdcthe unjust. Hosea 6:6 For I desire steadfast love and not sacrifice, the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings. Proverbs 21: 3 To do righteousness and justice is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice. Micah 6:8 He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God? Isaiah 1.11 What to me is the multitude of your sacrifices? says the Lord; I have had enough of burnt offerings of rams and the fat of well-fed beasts; I do not delight in the blood of bulls, or of lambs, or of goats. Psalms 51:17

      And so the Jew will say "Does this sound like a God who required the sacrifice of an innocent man, for the sinners sin? No, he holds everyone answerable, forgives in repentance, and is slow to anger, in steadfast love.

      Galatians 3:24 "So then, the law was our guardian until Christ came, in order that we might be justified by faith."
  • I'm ok with it. I don't usually put myself in the position of judging God on anything. 6/8/26
