Circumcision – Oregon Supreme Court, Judaism, & 12 Year Old Boy
One case was the Oregon Supreme Court cited the following week's mother, who ask, is a review of an appellate court decision that her ex-husband (who is the custodial parent are allowed), let his 12-year-old son circumcised. The father had recently converted to Judaism and wanted to circumcise his son.
My thoughts about this case and what the Bible says, are as follows.
It seems to me as Minister, if the father wants the son to Judaism, he has to influenceno need to do to cut it. "The true Jew inwardly" (Romans 2:29). The Jewish prophet Jeremiah told the people of God to circumcise their hearts, first in the spiritual sense (Jeremiah 4:4).
That being said, if the father and mother do not agree, should the boy as could be decided. If God really moves, he can move on the hearts of the young man to decide for themselves. Jesus (a Jew), proved to be very spiritual at the age of twelve years, as an adultHe said called into question and the doctors and theologians of his day (Luke 2:42-49).
God told Abraham in newborn boys, 8 To curtail day of her life (Genesis 17:9-13). I understand the newly converted Jewish father's concern as he just tries to fulfill the Jewish law. However, it takes them to a revelation that God is spirit (John 4:24) and Old Testament law in the flesh is never a man spiritually nor perfect. Is only in the spirit of God, as the JewishBecome a prophet Ezekiel said, our hearts and prolongs life (Ezekiel) 36,26-27. This is what Jesus meant when he said a man who "must be born again" to enter the kingdom of God (John 3:5).
If the father wants to know his Son of God in the flesh and spirit? His response will determine the extent of his son's spirituality or religiosity. For surely there is a big difference between the two. Do you prefer the sword of the spirit over the meter of the flesh (Ephesians 6:17).
The possible precedentwould this kind of law could with the Taliban, such as allowing religious zealots to decide what to wear their tweens and teens, the length and the color of their hair and body care. God familiar with the right parental influence and dominate the discipline of their children, too. The best way to spiritually impact children through parental example, not domination.
