Okay, since this has come up quite often, I thought I would do some research on it. So here's what I read. The custom is ancient but not in the Bible. It's an old tradition.

Apparently the roots of the tradition have several aspects:

1. In ancient times, it was considered a quick way to stanch the flow of blood, and it was believed to be medically necessary.

1. The saliva was considered to have antiseptic properties, and to be a hygienic measure.

1. The custom of circumcision included that some blood should flow, and the suction ensured that a little bit would, making the ritual effective. The drop of blood was an essential part of a sacred ritual.

1. The one performing the circumcision did not remove the foreskin with his mouth. This was done with a knife or surgical instrument. The suction was only performed after the circumcision as an attempt to speed healing.

1. In recent times, with the increase in sexually transmitted diseases, the custom has been replaced by use of a sterile tube although some very traditional communities still practice it.

That is a really ignorant response showing a complete lack of understanding of what the ritual is and the time period in which the custom developed.

What an ultra maroon.

Jesus was challenging the religious hypocrisy of some of the religious leaders of his time and stating that because of their works, they showed that they were not true sons of Abraham.

He was not making any comment about their ancestral descent from Abraham.

Try doing the Lord's work with a little better understanding of scripture understanding.

(p.s. there is a big difference in the language you used and the language Jesus used.)

He also said love your enemy and pray for those who persecute you for then you will be true sons of your Father in Heaven.

How are you doing with that commandment, Nazi?

This is such poor biblical interpretation that it is amazing.

Not a single thing you have asserted is correct, historically or biblically.

He doesn't. That's why I'm wondering why anyone is proposing his posts for the notables.
