Is not circumcising a sin against God?

God is really annoyed with people cutting bits of their penises off - he put the foreskin there for a reason, dammit!

Oh my goodness, I can't believe you felt you needed to ask that. rofl. Do you seriously think you need permission to tidy your lady(or man) garden?\n\nI should think it's alright. Unless the 11th commandment is 'Though shall not shave thy pubes' or it condemns the removal of pubic hair somehwere in the bible .....

For centuries, circumcision was associated with increased hygienity. The heart consistently represents the human seat of motivation. Thus, ‘circumcision of the heart’ means ridding oneself of anything that could dirty or encumber one's pure motives. By comparison, note that unresponsive, encumbered ears are referred to as 'uncircumcised' at Jer 6:10 and Acts 7:51. Note also Exo 6:12 wherein Moses referred to his 'uncircumcised' (speech impaired?) lips as an excuse why he could not talk with Pharaoh.\n\nBy the way, Paul was a converted Jew and had thus obviously been circumcised. Note that Acts 16:3 has Paul circumcising Timothy so that he will not be disrespected by potential converts from Judaism.

No it is not. It is your body and you may do with it as you please. If you want to get a tattoo and a piercing so be it. \n\nOf course you'll get someone saying it is wrong and make  quote from the bible, but do not listen to them.

It isn't wrong. The religious nuts want you to think it is wrong but it really isn't. \n\nAs long as it is consensual and as long as protection, then it isn't wrong.

I have often wondered this, too. I found a pretty good article on the subject, if you would click on the link below. It doesn't really promote it, but it doesn't condemn it either. It, basically, lets you take a look at the reasons in your heart for doing it, and where you stand with God. \n\nThe Bible warns us against getting wrapped up in our looks, but it also says that we should try to make ourselves look good for our husbands (different words of course).\n\nIn response to Catlins Playhouse's remark, sin is sin. I say that because of her comment "do you think God is going to be mad at you when all these other people..." God will judge us based on His laws and the convictions He places in our hearts. If you go to have cosmetic surgery and you feel the Holy Spirit urging you not to, but you do it anyway, you will be judged on that. \n\nI'm not telling you not to do it. I think you should pray about it. God will let you know.

No, it wasn't a sin and you shouldn't delete it.\n\nYou made your point.

Why not just ask him if he is circumcised or not? I don't believe he'll be offended unless you say it looks like a triangle.

In the Old Testament it says\nLeviticus 18:22\nThou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.\n\nThen in the New estament it says:\n1 Corinthians 6:9\nKnow ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,\n\nDoes that do it for you?   Jim

No it isn't. Otherwise it would be a sin for people to curl their hair, or perm it, or straighten it, etc. etc. \n\nWhat is a sin is someone who is telling you that it's a sin for Christians to get extentions because they are lying to you.

1 Corinthians 6:18 Flee from fornication. Every other sin that a man may commit is outside his body, but he that practices fornication is sinning against his own body.\nHebrews 13:4 Let marriage be honorable among all, and the marriage bed be without defilement, for God will judge fornicators and adulterers.\n1Thessalonians 4:3 For this is what God wills, the sanctifying of YOU, that YOU abstain from fornication.\n(1 Corinthians 6:15) Do YOU not know that YOUR bodies are members of Christ? Shall I, then, take the members of the Christ away and make them members of a harlot? Never may that happen!\n(Ephesians 5:3) Let fornication and uncleanness of every sort or greediness not even be mentioned among YOU, just as it befits holy people.\nThese are but some. Hope this helps. :)

no, of course it's not a sin, and i'm catholic!  (i even went to a catholic school in my elementary years)\ni have one on my shoulder and never even gave it a second thought about not getting one due to my religion.\ni don't think God judges us by tattoos that we may want.  i think he judges us on how we live our overall lives day to day.\n\njust my opinion

Yes, you can have a circumcision that doesn't remove all of the foreskin.  It is not very common; but the tissue removed may be more or less depending on how the circumcision is done.

Good question!\n\nHere is one of paul's new laws:\n\n\n1 Cor 11:5-7\n5 And every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head-- it is just as though her head were shaved.\n6 If a woman does not cover her head, she should have her hair cut off; and if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut or shaved off, she should cover her head.\n7 A man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man.\n\n\nOf course this don't apply to our time so we don't keep'em.\n\nBible = faulty

The Bible states, if thine hand offends the then cut it  off. If thine eye offends the then pluck it out,etc. The same should be for every part of the body. Just be truly sure the person is guilty.
