| SHOULD MEN BE CIRCUMCISED? |
| Genesis 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. (KJV)
Galatians 5:2 Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing. (KJV)
|
| God ordered the Israelites to be circumcised as a sign that they would be the ones from whom the Messiah would arise. Once the Messiah came, circumcision was no longer necessary. Not that circumcision was a bad thing, but there was nothing to gain from it. Not a contradiction. |
