<br />
They say baptism should be a choice a child makes when he is older.<br />
<br />
They say the Bible mandates circumcision but not infant baptism.<br />
<br />
But it's clear that circumcision, though mandated in the Old Testament, is deemed of no value in the New Testament. See <a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Galatians+5&version=NIV" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">Galatians 5:1-6</span></a>:<br />
<br />
<b><sup>1</sup>It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.
<sup>2</sup> Mark my words! I, Paul, tell you that if you let yourselves be circumcised, Christ will be of no value to you at all. <sup>3</sup> Again I declare to every man who lets himself be circumcised that he is obligated to obey the whole law. <sup>4</sup> You who are trying to be justified by the law have been alienated from Christ; you have fallen away from grace. <sup>5</sup> For through the Spirit we eagerly await by faith the righteousness for which we hope. <sup>6 </sup>For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love. </b><br />
<br />
So, if neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value, why not leave it as a choice for the child to make as well?<br />
<br />
Notice that Paul says "every man <i>who lets himself</i> be circumcised." That sounds to me like someone who can make a choice for himself.<br />
<br />
Some Christians, instead of baptizing their infants, have them dedicated.<br />
<br />
So how about, instead of circumcising their infants, these parents have their babies' penises dedicated?<br />

<br />
Certain factors, including an admonishing doula, led me to forgo having my son circumcised before I had a chance to see what actually happens.<br />
<br />
Thank God.<br />
<br />
Have you ever watched an infant circumcision? Have you ever heard the screams? Here; I'll tell you what happens.<br />
<br />
A baby is strapped to a board, then his penis is put in a clamp, and the tip sliced off with a scalpel. Meanwhile, the baby screams in agony or goes into shock.<br />
<br />
Mind you, babies cannot have anesthesia before 3 months old, and most babies get cut cold turkey.<br />

I'm dedicating this blog to getting the word out about the reality of infant circumcision. If you have any links or stories, please send them to me.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
