What Is Circumcision?

We can believe that the Abrahamic covenant would be fulfilled when, God called Abraham to leave his country, relatives, and family to go to the land that he was going to be given. God said, “I will make you into a great nation. I will bless you and make you famous, and you will be a blessing to others.” The land that the Lord took Abraham too, was the land that would be given to him and his descendants. After Abraham was gone, his descendants would be in possession of the land.

Paul closes this passage by detailing the most basic of Jewish law observances – circumcision. Paul argues that if one claims observance to this ritual but breaks the law, it does not matter in his relationship with God because his physical circumcision holds no weight accept for culturally. In verse 25-29, he notes that obedience to the law is not a physical act, but one of the heart, which sets apart a person to God. The act of saying one thing and doing another does not depict a life that is truth based and this was the action of the Jews under the Law. This is the problem with the Law. Ultimately, “it demands more conformity to outward regulations.” It is an inward, Spirit-led significance that defines the honor and praise of God since it is not outwardly recognized and praised by men. Paul defends the position that the law cannot bring man to righteousness nor can anything outside of inward recognition of God. Ladd opines, “The reason why the law cannot make sinful men righteous is that it is an external code, whereas the sinful hearts of men need a transforming inward power. The Law is a written code, not a life imparted by God’s Spirit (Rom. 7:23).” All people are subject to judgement as we will see in the next passage.

female circumcision, neonatal circumcision was chosen as a point of interest as it also relates to the specialization of sex therapy with the overall goal of clinical counseling. Darby (2015) discussed the effects that circumcision has on males who grow up to resent their condition. Male clients could seek therapy for the physical and psychological scars caused by the unwanted circumcision.

Part A: Explain, from the perspective of a girl in a culture who participates in this ritual, one reason why they would agree to participate in female circumcision. So in essence, I want you to be culturally relativistic and use what you have learned this week to explain why young women still do this. Use what you’ve learned in the lecture, film, or readings.

This wasn’t meant for our culture. In certain archaic tribes and religion this is practiced and commonly used. That however, doesn’t justify its purpose or make it okay. This is a problem and we should finish what we started, and fix it. Even with is being such a norm in our society we still need to get rid of it. Its origins consist of cultural traditions and religious rites. I don’t support the trimming of the penis for tradition, nor do I practice any religion. This has got to go. Circumcision has no significant purpose in our current society, however, it once had some use; “Although its origins are unknown, earliest evidence of the practice dates from Egypt (2300BC). Where it is thought to have been used original to mark male slaves” Okay,

God call of the Israelites to be used by God to be his chosen people to influence the world and a historical prologue reviewing the past relationship between God and Israel. The unique feature of the Mosaic Covenant was the Law. The passages about Mosaic/Sinai Covenant tell me that God will keep his promises to Israel only if they obey his Commandments and Laws. God’s covenant with Israel established not simply an agreement between suzerain and his vassals, but an intimate relationship based on loyal love.

17:7). In what resembles a covenant renewal, made in the land of Moab, Moses addresses the leaders of Israel, along with the men of Israel, wives and children, as ready to enter a sworn covenant which Yahweh their God is now making with them, that He may establish you this day as His people, and that He may be your God (Dt. 29:

What Allah had stated for us to do, for us to oblige, would surely benefit for us as well. Allah will never ask us to do something that will not have any way affiliated to our own benefits. Everything He asks us to do is something that will help us in our life too, to lead a better life. So we should believe that also applies in circumcision, as it is an apparent issue in races, ethics and religion. Usually the males are the ones that have issues with this. Believe it or not, male circumcision still remains as a hot debate topic among medical experts in the field of medical expertise. Medical experts have different opinions on circumcision, but removing your foreskin would surely cause something to your body. As Islam preached to us to do circumcision,

In "God's Covenant Through Moses" John Piper (1983) writes, " God calls Moses, and with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm God liberates his people from bondage. They cross the Red Sea on dry ground. They receive food from the sky and water from the rock. And in three months they arrive at Mount Sinai. Here God makes a solemn covenant with Israel to confirm and undergird the covenant he made with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob" (para. 1).

It is believed that circumcision brings a lot of health benefit to human especially in health. Based on the research by the doctors and scientist, it is proven that this practice would help to reduce the risk of infection. This practice could also help to reduce the chance of contract disease especially that is connected to the reproductive organ.

We can believe that the Abrahamic covenant would be fulfilled when God called Abraham to leave his country, relatives, and family. By doing this, he would visit the land that God was going to give him. God said, “I will make you into a great nation. I will bless you and make you famous, and you will be a blessing to others” (Genesis 12:2 NLT). The land that the Lord took Abraham too, was the land that would be given to him and his descendants. After Abraham was gone, his descendants would be in possession of the land.

When young boys are born parents are given the option to circumcise them. Most of the time parents decide to circumcise their little boy if their father and or brother are circumcised. However, if the father and or brothers are not circumcised they decided to leave their little boy uncircumcised. When I have little boys I would like to circumcise them for several different reasons. However, I do not know who I am marrying and how they feel about circumcision or if they are circumcised or not. I would discuss circumcision with my spouse before making any decisions.

Throughout the book of Galatians, Paul referees to circumcision on many occasions. The term of circumcision is not always to be taken literally. In the Jewish community, circumcision is a physical act of removing the foreskin around the penis. In accordance to the New Testament, it is “the feast of Circumcision of Chris”. (Oxford) This

Paul’s point is pretty simple. Abraham is the father to both the circumcised and the uncircumcised.

In this passage, God reminds Moses that God is supreme above all other gods and he reminds Moses of the miracle he has performed in bringing the people out of Egypt. The
