Female genital mutilation (FGM) comprises all procedures that involve partial or total removal of the external female Instruments, or other injury to the female genital organs for non-medical reasons...according WHO

It's bad practice please don't encourage it if you're in a situation to make things happen.

TELL TALES

Tell tales of little boys,
Who grow up without fathers
And have learned to live like robbers.
Tell tales of little boys,
Who have none to depend on
And on whom no light ever shone on.
Tell tales of little boys,
Who might not reach their teens
Because these streets is what they glean.

Tell tales of little girls,
Who never learned to become mothers
And have no one to call brothers.
Tell tales of little girls,
Who go down on bended knees to pray
Still their innocence have been sold away.
Tell tales of little girls,
Who their backs are made to crack
And earn a living lying on their back.

Tell tales of older ones,
Who tell war stories of long ago
But still fear the trumpets will yet again blow.
Tell tales of older ones,
Who are too frail to walk the road
But work the fields and lift huge load.
Tell tales of older ones,
Who may have talked and walked for freedom
But whose names the young sees as boredom.

Let's speak against all forms of mutilations otherwise called circumscision in both male and female.

IT HAS NO MEDICAL BENEFIT RATHER A COMMON CAUSE OF ACCIDENTA GENITAL DEFORMATION and DECAPITATION, ERECTILE DYSFUNCTIONS AND LACK OF SENSITIVITY e.t.c

It is not a basis for redemption in Christianity. Abraham made the covenant with God to have his entire lineage practice male circumscision UNTIL the messiah comes. 1) As a sign that the messiah will come through Abraham's lineage. 2) As a sacrifice That they believers even though they had lived and died before the coming and symbolic death may also benefit from the ransom.

Since Jesus has come and fulfilled all righteousness my question is WHAT OTHER MESSIAH ARE PRESENT DAY CHRISTIANS LOOKING FOR THROUGH CIRCUMSCISION?

The apostles later admonished the entire congregation after the conversion of gentiles that we now have "circumscision of the heart not of the flesh.
