The good thing is that I have a very functional brain and amazing memory that God has given me so I have no issues quoting sources and challenging pediatricians on their well established beliefs that are just talking points not based upon research or evidence. I went home and made a restorative tea for (Name) that I had to sneak in herbs for her and the baby to get Vit K, Vit A, iron and antioxidants via breast milk and wound healing for her. Felt like a criminal sneaking it into her water but guess what? No complications, no swelling, baby is extremely healthy and calm "best baby we've seen in a long time, he's so chill"....well yeah, he's not being injected with 300mcg of aluminum and polysorbate 80 from the Vit K shot that's literally too toxic for babies and based upon 1930s research
Can I ask what tea? I am to deliver next month. We are having a boy. After researching it seems like circumcision is only done by docs if they’ve had vitamin K. That’s the only shot I though I would have to submit to after birth. Any suggestions or direction would be most appreciated
Thanks all! It’s a personal choice to circumcise, I follow the Bible and God says to circumcise. I suppose everyone has their own opinion these days but that is what we plan to do.
That is not what Jesus said. He said in Matthew that he did not come to abolish the Torah or the prophets. So, what part of he did not come to abolish the Torah or the Prophets is so hard to understand? He said he came to fulfill the Torah and the Prophets. In a first century Jewish context the term to fulfill means to make full and give meaning - not to bring to completion or an end. Heaven forbid. That would be in complete antithesis to everything the Bible established up to that point as eternal. God's word does not contradict itself and what is eternal does not change. Jesus also followed up the statement about not coming to abolish the Torah or the Prophets with stating that anyone that violates the least of the commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the Kingdom. Those that keep the commandments and teach others to do the same will be called greatest in the Kingdom. The choice is ours.
Jesus did not do away with any of God's commandments - not one jot or tittle. Prophecies concerning the Messiah were not completely fulfilled with his first coming - he still has much left to do in the Kingdom. What confuses people is that the commandments are not the same for Gentiles as they are for Jews. Even with the Torah there are different commandments that apply differently to men, women, priests, high priests, foreigners, etc. The commandments of the Torah are not necessarily applied equally and with equal responsibility. There is no commandment for Gentiles to be circumcised - unless they were converting. Paul vigorously defended the right of Gentiles to remain as Gentiles and not be required to convert to be a part of the Kingdom. Any convert is brought under the full weight of the covenant to obey the Torah as a Jew. Paul did want to have Gentiles or Jews think that obtaining Jewish status was something more important than a believers faith in Messiah. He told the Gentile believers that becoming Jewish would not add anything to them. Faith in Jesus was enough to inherit eternal life. But to be clear, for someone that is already Jewish, belief in the Master does not suddenly abrogate their responsibility as a Jew.
If Gentiles want to circumcise as an act towards some kind of religious solidarity, then they need to understand circumcision within the context of Judaism since that is where it was birthed. Any other rationale they find must be acceptable to them whether they do it for health, personal conviction, etc. But as an act of faith, to remove circumcision from its Jewish moorings and claim it as some kind of religious obedience misses the point of the commandment and should not be done.
THIS IS A COPIED RESPONSE FROM MY SON...

Jesus said He fulfilled the old covenants.
