I disagree with your last sentence. I think people still are Jews circumcised or not.

If an intact guy wants to be a Jewish person then he should be and that’s his decision.

. Jewish identity is defined by rules Circumcision is one of the main rules Maybe you would like to create a league with five bases, two outs per inning etc but it won't be called baseball

The original description of the Covenant (Genesis 15 in the Jahwist text) had no reference to
#circumcision. That story was revised only after the Babylonian Captivity (& moved to Genesis 17) by priests who thereafter pretended the circumcision reference had always been there.2 replies 0 retweets 6 likes -

. Except that there are multiple references to circumcision in the Torah &Prophets in different contexts, and your absurd statement has no basis whatsoever, why the hell would they do that? Know how many crackpot ideas all begin with the rabbis or priests changing &lying etc?pic.twitter.com/fwueznsJIN

The only references in the Torah to infant
#circumcision being a requirement are found in Genesis & Leviticus, and both of them were added by the priests only after the Babylonian Captivity. My statement is based on academic research into the drafting history of the Torah.3 replies 0 retweets 2 likes -

False. The Samaritans only follow the Torah and were not in Babylonian captivity. Therefore, nothing in their Torah can be claimed to change. They are very strict with circumcision on the 8th day. Stop your lies already.

It's too bad you're not open to considering the work of biblical scholars concerning when & how the Torah was actually written. If that view ever changes, you might start by reading Chapter 1 of Leonard Glick's Marked in Your Flesh.
