Geneses 17:1-16
“17:10 This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee; Every man child among you shall be circumcised”
Can someone explained to me please. If God is so immutable (unchangeable) as most Christians are trying to portrait him, than how come circumcision is not necessary for Christians?
When people bring the argument that Jesus fulfill the law or anything similar to that they are misleading others. Covenant is not a law. There is a huge difference between law and what god promised.
As far as we can see, few thousand years before Jesus even showed up in the picture god makes promise to Abraham. And as anyone who reads Geneses can see that god did not asked anything in return from Abraham and his future children’s except circumcision for this covenant. Whatever law Jewish people create in the name of god later on has nothing to do with this covenant.

. Many Christians today are crying that Jews murder their own god and God broke covenant with them. So to outline the Question… If god makes the promise and than for whatever reason he decides not to keep the promise does it still makes god immutable? Isn’t that a scary thought that whatever god promised to Christians he will change again in the future? (Just cause someone will come up with another interpretation?)
When answering this questions please look at what god promised to Abraham. Any personal convenient interpretation … what they would like… not of an interest.
