i'm just going to put my two cents in here and i am in no way trying to be rude. I don't believe that God almighty makes mistakes. I do believe that we have been duped into performing a humiliation ritual, and messing our sons up for life. The God who created me, (in all of its perfection) would not have me rip my thingamajig in order to prove my devotion to him.

The bible has been tampered with too many times, by too many people who probably have never had my or my childrens best interest in mind.

my body is a temple, i will not tear it to shreds.

The new covenant does not require this. Israelites, not Jews, inherent the covenant. Christians, not Jews, are the chosen people. At no point are Jews ever considered "chosen" and in fact the only titles attributed to Jews are the "children of Satan" and the "synagogue of Satan." They worship the old gods of Babylon and Canaan. Any and all "Christians" not viewing Jews as such are heretics and are directly contradicting Jesus. You cannot denounce Jesus and claim to be Christian. It's a lie.

Genesis 17 is missing from the Codex Sinaiticus.

It sure does rabbi

Low IQs and the willfully ignorant will call you a jew for pointing out what the Old Testament says. It doesn't fit their narrative/religion (same thing).
