Good question.
Circumcision pointed towards the Law and separating themselves from sin.
When Jesus died on the cross he literally circumcised us removing us from sin.
That is why circumcision is no longer a commandment.
The flesh causes us to sin because Satan controls our flesh causing us to sin and by dying on the cross Jesus cut us off from our flesh by paying the penalty for our sins and giving us the Holy Spirit.
Once we have the Holy Spirit we are freed from the bondage of sin and no longer desire to do so.
We will be tempted just like everyone else but we will not desire to go through with the temptations.
I just read from above that Jesus was circumcised on the eighth day after his birth in Luke 2:21 and its true He was.
He fulfilled the Law perfectly.

Yes he went to the temple on the 8th day to be circumcised. He fulfilled all Jewish law to the T. While he was there to get circumcised thats when Simeon testified that his eyes has behold the coming Messiah and that God had answered his prayer. Anna also was there (the widow that worshiped in the temple night and day) she also claimed at the time of his circumcision that Jesus was the Son of God.

Yes, He was, in accordance with Jewish law and custom.
Luke 2:21 And when eight days had passed, before His circumcision, His name was then called Jesus, the name given by the angel before He was conceived in the womb.

I understood that the 12 night when the Wise Men got to the manger, was the date of Jesus circumcision. By custom he was no concidered a real person until then and therefore not able to become God on earth.

It was not stated in the bible. Circumcision is the law of God in the Old testament but in the New Testament, no circumcision was ever written.

He accidentally circumcised himself on a circular saw when he was putting trim around his doors. That is how it all first started. Thumbs down? I know, I got nothing.
