Yahweh God established the Covenant with the human Abraham in the following terms: "Circumcise the flesh of the foreskin. This will be the sign of the covenant between me and you. When they are eight days old, all the children of every generation shall be circumcised; also, the slaves born at home or bought from strangers, who are not of your race. " (Gen 17,11-12)

The circumcision proposed by Yahweh was only a sign of the acceptance of his project that at that time encompassed Abraham and his people. Nothing more. Similar to an alliance in a marriage or any agreement between parties.

With the coming of Jesus, the earth, it became clear that the most important circumcision is the circumcision of spirit where the human being has to throw off his sins and is reborn as a new man. We must fulfill the commandments given to Moses and the teachings proposed by Christ and still apply them according to the evolution of society which has changed greatly in the last two millennia. It all comes down to: Loving God about all things, your neighbor as yourself and do what others would like you to do with yourself. In doing this, the peace of Yahweh will accompany him wherever you goes.
