Circumcision II
Topic#: 00171 from WWW.GODSAIDMANSAID.COM

Man is constantly changing. Scientific theories that people embrace as truth change on a regular basis: Their "truth" of yesterday is debunked by their "truth" of today, and their "truth" tomorrow will debunk their "truth" of today. The field of medical science finds itself in the same dilemma. And so it is with politics that are in a constant state of flux, so that the liberal of the 1960s is the conservative of today. That same spirit of evil gradualism also pollutes the religious arena. This world is full of compromise—compromise that the God of zero tolerance will not endorse.

It's time to return to the Word of God—to the God who never changes. Malachi 3:6:

For I am the LORD, I change not;

Hebrews 13:8 reads:

Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.

GOD SAID, Genesis 17:10-14:

10 This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee; Every man child among you shall be circumcised.

11 And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me and you.

12 And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every man child in your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with money of any stranger, which is not of thy seed.

13 He that is born in thy house, and he that is bought with thy money, must needs be circumcised: and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.

14 And the uncircumcised man child whose flesh of his foreskin is not circumcised, that soul shall be cut off from his people; he hath broken my covenant.

MAN SAID: Circumcision has no real value! In 1971, the prestigious American Academy of Pediatrics said, "Circumcision may have some religious reason but it delivers no medical benefit whatsoever." Up until that time, male circumcision was routine in America.

Now THE RECORD: Do you realize that there are organizations whose sole purpose is to contradict the God-given commandment of male circumcision? It should be no surprise, for the Satanic M.O. is to say, "No," when God says, "Yes." That is how it was in the Garden of Eden when our great-great-grandmother and her husband Adam followed Satan's rebellious lead. Ever since that day, it has been like mother, like daughter and like father, like son.

The commandment concerning male circumcision is just another proof that the God of creation is the author of the Scriptures, and that all mankind will stand before Him at a quickly approaching judgement day. All male children, according to the Old Testament commandment, were required to be circumcised on the eighth day after birth, which is the day we now know that vitamin K reaches its peak in the human life span. Vitamin K causes blood to clot. God said to circumcise on the eighth day. Circumcision was called the token of the covenant. It is important to note that all of Old Testament law was a shadow and type of the Christ to come. Colossians 2:16-17:

16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:

17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.

Hebrews 10:1:

For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.

Christ Jesus was the fulfillment of the law including, for example, the blood sacrifice, the Passover, feast days, the Sabbath day, and male circumcision. Circumcision is now a matter of the heart and not of the flesh. Romans 2:29:

But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.

As in all of God's commandments, there is a duality of benefit. The first benefit, of course, is spiritual, and the second is physical. Circumcision is a prime example of the physical biological benefit of God's perfect commandments.

The following is a quick bullet point review of GodSaidManSaid's first article on this topic, titled "Circumcision:"

Birth records of 219,755 male children born in U.S. Armed Forces hospitals from 1975 to 1979 were examined. It was found that the uncircumcised experienced an 1100% higher incidence of urinary tract infections. After nine different studies were reviewed, the finding was that the uncircumcised suffered urinary tract infections 12 times more often than those who were circumcised.

The uncircumcised are 800% more likely to acquire AIDS via a heterosexual relationship.

In 1947, a study of 1300 consecutive patients in a Canadian Army unit showed that being uncircumcised was associated with a nine-fold higher risk of syphilis and three times more risk of gonorrhea.

In 50,000 penile cancer cases recorded in the U.S., 49,990 were among uncircumcised men. Only ten of those cancer victims were circumcised! Ten thousand of the 50,000 penile cancer cases died as a result of the disease.

Uncircumcised men have twice the incidence of prostate cancer.

Later in a man's life, the uncircumcised are twice as likely to have erectile dysfunction as his circumcised counterpart.

Studies have documented higher rates of cervical cancer in women who have had one or more uncircumcised partners. The benefits from male circumcision run on and on.

According to Kimberly Workowski, MD, associate professor of infectious diseases at Atlanta's Emory University, along with other researchers, an AIDS epidemic equal in proportion to the one in Africa will soon sweep India. A major new study monitoring 2300 Indian men reported its findings to the Infectious Diseases Society of America in October of 2003. The study confirms earlier research (one of which is mentioned in this article) that circumcised men are eight times less likely to contract AIDS than uncircumcised males. Dr. Steven Reynolds, who reported the findings, said that the foreskin of the uncircumcised male is particularly sensitive to HIV infection. The thin foreskin is abundant in CD4+T cells—the type of cells HIV loves to infect.

The research and information supporting the wisdom of God's commandment concerning male circumcision is monumental, yet the anti-God group continues to reject it. It's a matter of kinship.

GOD SAID, Genesis 17:10-14:

10 This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee; Every man child among you shall be circumcised.

11 And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me and you.

12 And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every man child in your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with money of any stranger, which is not of thy seed.

13 He that is born in thy house, and he that is bought with thy money, must needs be circumcised: and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.

14 And the uncircumcised man child whose flesh of his foreskin is not circumcised, that soul shall be cut off from his people; he hath broken my covenant.
