Line 1:

'''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 [[Brit Milah| 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 [https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%2017&version=NASB1995 chapter 17 of Genesis], which is historical in nature, and incorrectly believe that it applies to Christian practice today. They may inadvertently become judaizers if they erroneously insist that a son have his protective [[foreskin]] amputated by harmful [[circumcision]] in the fashion of the Jews of antiquity.
