Rligion, Culture, Social presure, Marketing by certain part of the American medical fraternity,

Somewhat less then 20% of the men or should I say boys of the word are circumcised. MGM ( male genital mutilation) is largely done in answer to religious or cultural requirement, as a rite of passage ceremony into man hood or simply look like the father There other more deep seated reasons why parents inflict this on their children as well. It was not until the mid 18 hundreds that the British medical fraternity invented a medical reason for circumcision. all of which was nonsense as one would expect from that era.. and this led to a spate of non religions or medically inspired circumcisions in the English speaking countries with doctors convincing their marks (patients) that circumcision was good for their children. The US is the last bastion of this type of reasoning where it is still a multy million dollar business and is added to by a lucrative marked in baby foreskins for the cosmetics and skin market. It is generally accepted that circumcision is not needed except in very rare circumstances to treat existing penile conditions.

Male circumcision is a cultural practice that varies across different societies and religions. It can have religious, cultural, or personal reasons behind it. Some believe it offers health benefits, such as lower risk of certain infections. However, opinions on circumcision differ, and it's important to consider individual choice, ethics, and medical advice when making decisions about circumcision.

Does Abraham's covenant of circumcision follow the male or female line?

The question does not read clearly.1) If it is asking whether the males or females in the family get circumcised, the answer is Males:Gen. 17:10 This is My covenant, which you shall keep, between Me and you and your descendants after you: every male among you shall be circumcised.2) If it is asking whether the male to be circumcised comes to be circumcised on account of his mother's Jewish-ness or his father's Jewish-ness, the answer is that the mother determines the Jewish-ness of the child and whether or not that child should be circumcised. (This comes from the Talmudic Interpretation of Deut. 7:3-4. Read more at the Related Link.)In the case of a Jewish father and non-Jewish mother, the child will have to be converted prior to being required to be circumcised. He can certainly be circumcised while not being Jewish and convert later, but the requirement to be circumcised only applies at the moment of conversion. If the non-Jewish mother converts before the birth of the child, the child is born Jewish.


Does the God of the Old Testament really care if his people are circumcised or not or was this only a tribal ritual?

In Genesis 17:10-14, "This is My covenant, which you shall keep, between Me and you and your descendants after you; every male among you shall be circumcised. And you shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskin, and it shall be the sign of the covenant between Me and you. And every male among you who is eight days old shall be circumcised throughout your generations, a servant who is born in the house or who is bought with money from any foreigner, who is not of your descendants. A servant who is born in your house or who is bought with your money shall surely be circumcised; thus shall My covenant be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant. But an uncircumcised male who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin, that personal shall be cut off from his people; he has broken My covenant." It was a covenant between God and man. _________________________________________ God asked the Israeli's to be circumcised to show the covenant between them and God.
