THE CIRCUMCISION IN THE OLD TESTAMENT
Circumcision is' MANDATORY FOR JEWS!
Circumcision in the flesh is the sign of the covenant between God and his people.
The jew that circumcision should be punished with death.
Genesis 17: 9-14
17-9Disse God to Abraham: "As for you, you shall keep my covenant, you and your descendants after you throughout the generations. 10Questa is my covenant which you shall keep, a covenant between me and you and thy seed after thee shall be circumcised among you, every male. 11Vi shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskins, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and you. 12Quando that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every male from generation to generation, he that is born in the house, or bought with money from any foreigner who is not of your offspring. 13Deve be circumcised who was born at home and who is bought with money, so my covenant be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant. 14Il male is not circumcised, that is, which has not been circumcised in the meat shall be cut off from his people: he hath broken my covenant. "
Moses had not circumcised his son and was about to die, but his wife intervened and saved him.
ESODO4: 24-26
4-24Mentre is was traveling to the place where to stay, the Lord was against and tried to kill him. 25Allora Zipporah took a sharp flint, cut off the foreskin of her son and that he touched his feet and said, "You are to me a groom blood ". 26Allora withdrew from him. It said the husband of blood due to circumcision.
Those who are not circumcised can not eat the Passover.
Exodus 12:43 - 48
12-43Il Lord said to Moses and Aaron "Questo è il rito della pasqua: nessun straniero ne deve mangiare.
44Quanto a ogni schiavo acquistato con denaro, lo circonciderai e allora ne potrà mangiare.
45L'avventizio e il mercenario non ne mangeranno.
46In una sola casa si mangerà: non ne porterai la carne fuori di casa; non ne spezzerete alcun osso.
47Tutta la comunità d'Israele la celebrerà. 48Se un forestiero è domiciliato presso di te e vuol celebrare la pasqua del Signore, sia circonciso ogni suo maschio:
allora si accosterà per celebrarla e sarà come un nativo del paese. Ma nessun non circonciso ne deve mangiare.

CIRCUMCISION IN THE NEW TESTAMENT
We see that in the New Testament, circumcision is not abolished, but is imposed on Gentiles who are Christians.
JESUS \u200b\u200b'was circumcised
Luke 2: 1
2-21Quando they were eight days to be circumcised, he was given the name Jesus, as had been called by first conceived in the womb.
Luke also speaks of circumcision of John the Baptist, Luke 1: 57-60
***************************** ********************************
JESUS \u200b\u200b'did not abolish' The Circumcision
JOHN 7:21-24 Jesus answered, "I made a single work, and they're all amazed.
Moses gave you circumcision - not that it comes from Moses, but from the patriarchs - and you circumcise a man on Saturday.
Now if a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath because it is not transgressed the law of Moses,
you angry at me because I made an entire man on the Sabbath?
know from the Gospels that Jesus came not to abolish the Jewish religion, but to fulfill;
Matthew 5: 17-20 Jesus was a jew and even
beginning of his mission is directed exclusively al popolo eletto;
Matteo 10: 5-6; Matteo 15:24
Solo dopo la sua risurrezione Gesù invia i suoi discepoli in tutto il mondo;
Matteo 28:18-20
Gesù insegnava agli ebrei nelle sinagoghe e nel Tempio, era ebreo e si rivolgeva al suo popolo;
Matteo 4: 23; Matteo 21: 23.
***********************************************
LA CIRCONCISIONE NON E' PIU' NECESSARIA PER I GENTILI CHE SI CONVERTISCONO
ATTI 15: 1-21
15-1Ora alcuni, venuti dalla Giudea, insegnavano ai fratelli questa dottrina: "Se non vi fate circoncidere secondo l'uso di Mosè, non potete esser salvi".
2Poiché Paolo e Bàrnaba si opponevano risolutamente e discutevano animatamente contro costoro, fu stabilito che Paolo e Bàrnaba e alcuni altri di loro andassero a Gerusalemme dagli apostoli e dagli anziani per tale questione. 3Essi dunque, scortati per un tratto dalla comunità, attraversarono la Fenicia e la Samarìa raccontando la conversione dei pagani e suscitando grande gioia in tutti i fratelli. 4Giunti poi a Gerusalemme, furono ricevuti dalla Chiesa, dagli apostoli e dagli anziani e riferirono tutto ciò che Dio aveva compiuto per mezzo loro.
5Ma si alzarono alcuni della setta dei farisei, che erano diventati credenti, affermando: è necessario circonciderli e ordinar loro di osservare la legge Moses.
6Allora met the apostles and elders to address this issue. 7Dopo long discussion, Peter stood up and said
"Brothers, you know that long ago God made choice among you, because my mouth the Gentiles would hear the word of the gospel and believe. 8E God, knows the heart, bore witness to them, giving them the Holy Spirit, like us, ninth made no distinction between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith. 10h So why continue to God groped by imposing on the neck of the disciples a yoke which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear? 11Noi believe that through the grace of Lord Jesus we are saved in the same way too. "
12Tutta the assembly fell silent, and they listened to Barnabas and Paul reported signs and wonders God had done among the Gentiles through them.
13Quand'essi had finished speaking, James: 14 "Brethren, listen to me. Simeon has related how in the beginning God chose from among the Gentiles a people consecrated to his name. 15Con this agree the words of the prophets, as it is written
16Dopo these things again and riedificherò
the tent of David that had fallen, it will repair the ruins and raise up,
17perché the other men to seek the Lord and all
nations on which was called by my name,
18dice the Lord who does these things he has known from eternity
.
19Per this I believe that we should not bother those who are turning to God among the Gentiles, 20th only orders them to abstain from things polluted by idols, from fornication, from things strangled and from blood. 21Mosè fact, since ancient times, who has preached in every city, because it is read every Sabbath in the synagogues. "
*********************** *******************
After this council, the Gentiles who became Christians were no longer obliged to circoncidrsi, but Jews even if they became Christians were required to
circumcised.
Acts 16: 1-3 16-
1Paolo went to Derbe and Lystra. Here there was a disciple named Timothy, the son of a Jewish woman believer and greek father; 2egli was much esteemed by the brethren at Lystra and Iconium. 3Paolo wanted it to start with him, took him and had him circumcised because of the Jews that were in those regions, they all knew that his father was greek.
We see that the disciple Timothy, being a Jewish mother, was not greek and jew as his father for the Jewish Law, and had circumcised.
We see that the apostles share the tasks, there are those who go to preach agli ebrei, e quelli che vanno dai pagani.
In principio gli ebrei-cristiani osservanti non si univano con i gentili-cristiani, tanto ancora era grande la diffidenza.
GALATI 2: 1-15
1Dopo quattordici anni, andai di nuovo a Gerusalemme in compagnia di Bàrnaba, portando con me anche Tito: 2vi andai però in seguito ad una rivelazione. Esposi loro il vangelo che io predico tra i pagani, ma lo esposi privatamente alle persone più ragguardevoli, per non trovarmi nel rischio di correre o di aver corso invano. 3Ora neppure Tito,(Tito era pagano prima di diventare cristiano, non fu obbligato a circoncidersi), che era con me, sebbene fosse greco, fu obbligato a farsi circoncidere. 4E questo proprio a causa of false brethren who had slipped in to spy on the freedom we have in Christ Jesus, in order to enslave us. But they did not cedemmo 5AD, for respect, even for a moment, because the truth of the Gospel continues to remain steadfast in your midst.
6DA therefore part of the most notable - I do not care what they were then, because God does not mind any person - to me, those persons of repute, was not set up anything more. 7Anzi, they saw that I had been entrusted with the gospel for the uncircumcised, just as Peter for the circumcised - 8poiché who had acted in order to make Peter an apostle of the circumcision was done also in me for the Gentiles - 9th recognizing the grace given unto me, James, Cephas and John, reputed to be pillars, gave to me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, that we should go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised. 10Soltanto we should remember the poor: what I was eager to do.
11mA when Cephas came to Antioch, I withstood him to his face because he was clearly wrong. 12Infatti before that certain came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they came, he withdrew and separated himself, for fear of the circumcision. 13E the other Jews did the same in the simulation, so that even Barnabas was carried away draw in their hypocrisy. 14h when I saw that they were behaving uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas before them all: "If thou, being a Jew, live like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you compel the Gentiles to live like Jews?
15Noi that are Jews by birth and not Gentile sinners, 16sapendo however, that no man is justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law is never justified ".

PAUL APOSTLE TO THE NATIONS
Paul going to preach to the Gentiles, teach more and more the futility of circumcision to them.
ROMANS 2: 25 2-25THE
circumcision is useful, yes, if you keep the law, but if it breaks the law, your circumcision're like an uncut. 26Se therefore those who are not circumcised keep the requirements of the law, not his circumcision may not be counted as circumcision? 27E so, who is not circumcised physically but obey the law, judge you who, despite the letter of the law and circumcision are a lawbreaker. 28Infatti, this is not a Jew who is outside, and circumcision is not that visible in the flesh; 29th Jew is one who is inwardly and circumcision is that of the heart, spirit, and not in the letter, and his praise is not from men but from God
Romans 4: 9-17
9Orbene, this bliss is who is circumcised or anyone who is not circumcised? We say that faith was credited to Abraham as righteousness. 10Come therefore he was accredited? When he was circumcised or not when it was? Certainly not after the circumcision, but before. 11Infatti he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of faith he had already obtained when it was not circumcised, because this was the father of all uncircumcised who believe and why they were also credited with the 12th justice was also father of the circumcised, those who have not only circumcision, but also walk in the footsteps of the faith of our father Abraham before his circumcision.
13Non fact under the law was given to Abraham and his descendants the promise of becoming the heir of the world, but by virtue of the righteousness of faith; 14SINCE if they become heirs of those who come from law, would be made void the faith and promise anything. 15LA reads wrath on the contrary, where no law, there is not transgression. 16Eredi then becomes for the faith, because it is by grace and the promise is sure to all the descendants, not only for what is of the law, but also for that of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all. 17Infatti is written, I have made you father of many nations is our father in front of the God in whom he believed, who gives life to the dead and calls into existence the things that do not exist.
I Corinthians 7: 18-19 7-
18Qualcuno was called being circumcised? I do not hide! It was named when it was not circumcised? Do not be circumcised! 19 The
circumcision counts for nothing, and uncircumcision counts for nothing, has instead keeping the commandments of God
Philippians 3: 1-6 3-
1For the rest, fratelli mei, state lieti nel Signore. A me non pesa e a voi è utile che vi scriva le stesse cose: 2guardatevi dai cani, guardatevi dai cattivi operai, guardatevi da quelli che si fanno circoncidere! 3Siamo infatti noi i veri circoncisi, noi che rendiamo il culto mossi dallo Spirito di Dio e ci gloriamo in Cristo Gesù, senza avere fiducia nella carne, 4sebbene io possa vantarmi anche nella carne. Se alcuno ritiene di poter confidare nella carne, io più di lui: 5circonciso l'ottavo giorno, della stirpe d'Israele, della tribù di Beniamino, ebreo da Ebrei, fariseo quanto alla legge; 6quanto a zelo, persecutore della Chiesa; irreprensibile quanto alla giustizia che deriva dall'osservanza della legge.
COLOSSESI 2: 9-14
2-9E in Christ dwells all the fullness of divinity, you have the tenth part to its fullness in him, him, who is the head of every sovereignty and every authority. 11in him you were also circumcised with a circumcision, however, not made with hands, through the dispossession of our body of flesh, but the circumcision of Christ. 12THE you were buried with him in baptism, you were also raised with him through faith in the power of God, who raised him from the dead. 13Con him God has given life to you, who were dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, he forgives all sins, 14annullando the written agreement of the nostro debito, le cui condizioni ci erano sfavorevoli.
**************************************************
Quindi mentre per gli ebrei che accettano Gesù come Figlio di Dio e Salvatore, la circoncisione non è abolita, ai gentili che si convertono al cristianesimo non viene più imposta.
