Topic Suggestion/Request:
Am I sinfully binding my brother’s conscience regarding circumcision?
Reasoning:
My brother and his wife are pregnant with their first child. They did the ultrasound (sadly) and found out that their first child will be a boy. Would I be sinfully binding my brother’s conscience by telling him that I believe circumcision is not a wise decision? Do we know for certain that the procedure of circumcision that God commanded of the Israelites is not the same procedure that is performed today?
The problem is my brother (who is older than me) is not unaware of a lot of things, including the history behind circumcision and who has been pushing it. The Bible verses that Corey and Woe cited in that episode certainly show that circumcision is not necessary for Christians, but I was hoping they could provide something more concrete that shows that it is wrong for Christians to practice circumcision…..something I could show to someone who hasn’t recognized all the patterns.
