Galatians 5:2Wrench

BACK NEXT
Mark [my words, πŸ˜‡:]
I, Paul, [a Jew,] warn you that if you get [your foreskins] chopped off [as a means of swearing to obey the Sinai covenant,] the Messiah will be of no advantage to you at all!

Note: Paul reasons, correctly, that being circumcised for the nonsensical intention of attaining justification through adherence to the Sinai contract is an insult to the Messiah.

If you're not cut, don't get cut.
And NEVER mutilate your child's genitals!

Do, however, remove loose, dead skin such as your baby's umbilical stump.
