There is no medical need to circumcize. None. If you trust that God designed us perfectly then you will understand that we don't need extra things done to us. Leave your precious son whole.
I need many grandchildren and you're absolutely right -- I felt circumcising my boys would get in the way of God's plan of many grandchildren coming my way.
Jewish ritual circumcision is also way safer than Gentile hospital circumcision. The hospitals use weird clamps and devices that can easily disfigure and harm Gentile babies.
Also, in Judaism, if there is even the tiniest doubt about the baby’s health, the circumcision is postponed or foregone entirely. Gentile hospitals will circumcise a jaundiced baby immediately after birth and worse.
Fwiw, when my youngest nephew had his bris (Jewish circumcision), the mohel also happened to be an MD/pediatrician and a urologist… my nephew didn’t even wake up from his nap during the entire procedure.

Didn’t God order this?
Not for the Gentiles.
Correct, there was a big stink in the early church about Jewish Christians wanting to snip gentile Christians.
He gave free will and a set of physical rules, so 1) He doesn't protect us from ourselves, 2) stuff happens
