Top ten reasons not to circumcise your son

If they still have some inner foreskin (it looks wrinklier and redder and is just below the head) and they work on stretching that, it will have the good nerves. They can never get back the dartos muscle that keeps the foreskin shut at the end (like a drawstring) so some men try to train the skin to hug the head but that can be hard to do. Once they get coverage of the glans, it helps the glans skin to soften and de-keratinize, which makes that more sensitive. And of course, it makes it more comfortable for both the man and the woman when the skin is not tight, pulling and chafing.

Thanks for posting this. We have a 6 week old and decided not to circumcise him as well.

Thanks to the OP for posting this!! I knew before reading this that I would never circ any sons I may have. God made them perfect.......... After reading this, watching the videos, and seeing some of the pics of botched circs, I now know for absolute certain that no son of mine will EVER be cut!!

It was never really a decision before I just knew it wasn't happening to my baby!! I have 2 girls so it was never an issue. We're all hoping and praying for a little guy this time so hopefully my choice on this will go over well with the family. And if it doesn't, TOO BAD FOR THEM!!!

Thanks again!!

Circumcision is a personal choice, and while everyone is entitled to their opinion and to state facts supporting their opinion (as you have) I do have to disagree with you on one point.

Galations 5:6 does not say "Don't circumcise your children." It is talking about how people were living by the law but the law is not sufficient to cover our sins.

While I respect your position on circumcision, it REALLY bothers me when versers are taken out of context, simply to "proove" a point that someone wants to make. That context of the verse can be seen if you read it starting at vs 1 and read through verse 6.
Gal 5:1-6 KJV

1Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.

2Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.

3For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.

4Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.

5For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.

6For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.

The bigger picture, is talking about how Chris is needed for salvation and trying to follow the law is pretty much inefectual without Christ.

So again, while I respect your view on circumcision... please keep verses in context.

God bless,
Michelle
