Judaizer is a word that describes certain people mentioned in the Christian New Testament. A Judaizer is a person who believed that a male must be circumcised as required in Judaism to be a Christian. The Christian fathers, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, concluded in the Council at Jerusalem that circumcision should be omitted from the list of requirements to become a Christian, so the position of the Judaizers was not sustained.
Christians may read chapter 17 of Genesis, which is historical in nature, and incorrectly believe that it applies to Christian practice today. They may inadvertently become modern-day judaizers, if they erroneously insist that a son have his protective foreskin amputated by harmful circumcision in the fashion of the Jews of antiquity.
Pastor Jim Scudder, Jr. (2025) explains in his podcast that Christians obtain salvation by faith, not by works.[1] Circumcision is a work, so it is unnecessary for salvation.[2]
