Does the christian god of the bible require that all men be circumcised?

Question

Where in the bible does it say this?

Answer 1

Of COURSE NOT!!! In the OT, the Jews had to be circumcised as part of a covenant and sign of devotion. In the NT, that was abolished, because if you had to be circumcised to be saved, that puts stipulations on being saved, and salvation loses the touch of grace and becomes bound to the law. The Gentiles in the NT did not have to be circumcised. There was a big fuss about it between them and the Jews and Paul told them, that circumcision was not a requirement for Christianity.

Answer 2

Ahaha. Jesus was circumcised because he was JEWISH. Not Christian. Jewish. And those quotes in the Old Testament were for the JEWS. And guess what? The Bible also says that God made man perfect. Foreskin included. If men weren't supposed to have foreskin, they would not have been born with it. Plus, you're missing a few Bible quotes: 1 Cor. 7:17 "As God has called each man, in this manner let him walk. And thus I command in all the churches. Was any man called in the circumcision [i.e. Old Covenant]? Let him not try to become uncircumcised. Has anyone been called in the uncircumcision [i.e. New Covenant]? Let him not be circumcised! Circumcision is nothing. And uncircumcision is nothing but the keeping of the commandments of God. Let each man remain in that condition in which he was called." Gal. 5:2 "Behold, I Paul, say to you that if you become circumcised, Christ will profit you nothing!" Gal. 5:6 "For in Christ Jesus, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision gives spiritual power, but faith working through love." Gal. 5:12 "I wish that those who are pushing you to do so would mutilate themselves! Gal. 6:12 "Those who desire to make a good showing in the flesh try to compel you to be circumcised, simply that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ" Phil. 3:2 "Beware of the dogs! Beware of the evil workers! Beware of the mutilation! For WE are the true circumcision, who worship in the Spirit of God, and glory in Christ Jesus, and put NO confidence in the flesh!"

Answer 3

I Corinthians 7:19 (KJ21, 21st Century King James Version)
Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but what matters is the keeping of the commandments of God.

I Corinthians 7:19 (HCSB, Holman Christian Standard Bible)
Circumcision does not matter and uncircumcision does not matter, but keeping God's commandments does.

Circumcision was for the Israelites in the Old Testament, not for us Christians of today.

Answer 4

Thats Old Testament Mosaic Law. In New Testament Christianity, water baptism replaced it.

You will find it in the front of your Old Testament concerning the covenant between God and Abraham. It only applied to Judaism as a religious practice, not Christianity.

Answer 5

That is the covenant of Abraham that was later repeated with moses.
You can find it just after Moses talks to the burning bush.

?Edit.
This is the first I have heard of a separate God for Jews and Christians by the way

Answer 6

No. It is only required of Benaim Yisroel, members of the Mosaic Covenant. The Council of Jerusalem, recorded in Acts made this non-binding on Gentiles, as Paul confirms in Romans and Galatians.

Answer 7

No, Christianity does not preach circumcision.

Acts 15:24: "... we have heard that some who went out from us have troubled you with words, unsettling your souls, saying, 'You must be circumcised and keep the law' -- to whom we gave no such commandment ..."

Gal. 5:6: "For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but faith working through love."

Gal. 6:15: "For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but a new creation."

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

Answer 8

Paul, the inventor of Christianity, was challenged that he was teaching that Jesus had appeared to him and said baptism replaces circumcision, or just faith alone,

he is found in Acts 21 and 22 performing the very act he says you do not need to do (a liar) and then all hell breaks loose for his double speak

Answer 9

Only the Old Testament god. The New Testament god likes a little big of hang.

Answer 10

no. I am not under the Old Covenant. circumcision was to set the Jews aside from the "heathens". I'm not a Jew, I get circumsized through faith, and it hurts a lot less...
