'''Genital cutting in Christianity''' was rejected by the Church Fathers at the [[Council at Jerusalem]] which was held in or about 49 A.D.
[[Circumcision]] has been believed to be a good "Christian value" by a ''few'' Christians in different parts of the world, including the [[United States]], South Korea, Africa and the [[Tuli| Philippines]]. Christian advocates of male infant [[circumcision ]] often cite the alleged [[Abrahamic covenant|covenant between god and Abraham]] as outlined in the book of Genesis (e.g., the Old Testament), or believe that since the men of the Old Testament were [[circumcised]], that it must be a good Christian value. Still others acknowledge that male infant circumcision was outlined to Abraham and his descendants, and that gentiles were excluded, but believe the New Testament says it's just a matter of preference, and that gentiles could choose to be [[circumcised ]] or not, or could choose to have their children circumcised or allowed to be [[intact]]. <b>These are erroneous views.</b>
