Are Amish males circumsized?

My speculation is that Amish probably don't have any policy on circumcision. If a boy is born at some american hospital, he was probably circumcised automatically liike any other boy.

If he was born at home, he was probably not circumcised since it is likely no doctor was on hand to do the deed anyways.

This is quite different from Jewish or Muslims where the circumcsion is a very strong tradition part of their culture.

^^ yeah but most men are circumsized as a health issue.
even if they aren't born at a hospital, at some point they make it to one and they are circumcized then.
as for the amish, im not sure they believe in going to the hospital to have a baby, so maybe not.

No. Most men are cut just because.

Baby boys, unless they're born with some bizarre birth defect, have no need to have their genitals altered.

The world is filled with men who are intact and have never suffered from having a foreskin. Ignorance is probably why most babies and men are cut.

I am not surprisied at the sundry answers here. The Amish, like many other reglions, have many different sects. Thus, you find different beliefs among them, depending on where they reside.

Last summer, relatives from Alabama visited our home. They asked if it were possible to visit Pennsylvania, specifically the amish community. We spent a day or two in the area before moving on.

During our stay, we had the opportunity to talk with several of the amish men. One elderly gentlemen enlightened us on their way of life. While so many people believe they don't this or that because it is a 'sin' is incorrect. Their lifestyle is based on their ancestors. The 'simple' way of life which suited grandpa suits them. They don't own cars, however, they will not hestiate to let a friend or neighbor take them for a ride into town if needed. They don't use electricity--why? The prefer not to have electric lines running up to their houses because it 'links' them to the outside world. The bible teaches that they should be seperate themselves from the world-they do this by retaining the simple lifestyle as passed down to them. Some sects of the amish do not have church buildings; they worship in their homes. Each family of the congreation will offer their home for Sunday worship on a rotating basis.

Here in my state, we have some amish. They are different than the amish in Pennsylvania. For example, they have church houses. I have driven by on several ocassions to find numerous horse & buggies tied to the hitching post outside a wooden church house. Although they dress very similiar to those amish several miles north, there are some slight variations too.

While, most have babies at home...I would say, that circumcision is not something they practice.

The post of tricking with an Amish man is best done on Sunday. It is true they bath on Saturday evening for church on Sunday. Has anyone ever tricked with an Amish man?

I've never tricked with an Amish man before, but I ran across 2 of them yesterday that I wouldn't have minded a roll in the hay with! I went to a construction site and 4 of the laborers were Amish; an older man of about 60 (the father) and 3 sons. One of the sons was far too young (about 14), but the other 2 appeared to be in their early 20s and they were hott!! Buff builds, dark hair with blue eyes, gorgeous smiles and friendly as can be. I wanted to knock them over the head with a 2X4 and throw them in the back of my truck...:tongue:

According to the New Testement, circumcision (the old covenant) was done away with in Christ. Also, it says that Circumcision of the flesh has NO value and not become circumcised. It is the "circumcision not made by hands" and the "circumcision of the heart" that is what is of value.

It says this in numerous places.
So, The Bible says not to circumcise. This is why Christians do not circumcise their sons as a religious practice, the world over. Very few circumcise as a "health" precaution.

They use hooks and eyes. These are really old fashioned. The hooks actually look like little hooks and the eyes are like circles of a heavier thread.

Paul mentions several times that circumcision is not required of Christians. Jeremiah said that circumcision among any one other than Jews was uncircumcision (i.e. meant nothing as there was no covenant). Jesus mentions this in John 7:22-24:
Moses therefore gave unto you circumcision; (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers;) and ye on the sabbath day circumcise a man. If a man on the sabbath day receive circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at me, because I have made a man every whit whole on the sabbath day? Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
The non-canonical Gospel of Thomas records in 53:
His disciples said to him, "Is circumcision useful or not?"
He said to them, "If it were useful, their father would produce children already circumcised from their mother. Rather, the true circumcision in spirit has become profitable in every respect."


your bible mite say that but my bible dont, i read the king james bible not some man made one with changed words to make things sound better, for your info, even thow in sure your not interested cir, started as a covenent and it was for every one who was religous, also if you look way back in the history even some of the romans was cut at they felt like it was sort of a statis symbol and the uncuts were looked upon as heathenistic, this is not my making up here its in books, go to library its there , this is fact as i have found them to be from reading an doing research about being cut or uncut,

Circumcision as a requirement for Christians is considered the first Great Heresy of the Catholic church:

The Circumcision heresy may be summed up in the words of Acts 15:1: "But some men came down from Judea and were teaching the brethren, &#8216;Unless you are circumcised according to the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved.&#8217;"

Many of the early Christians were Jews, who brought to the Christian faith many of their former practices. They recognized in Jesus the Messiah predicted by the prophets and the fulfillment of the Old Testament. Because circumcision had been required in the Old Testament for membership in God&#8217;s covenant, many thought it would also be required for membership in the New Covenant that Christ had come to inaugurate. They believed one must be circumcised and keep the Mosaic law to come to Christ. In other words, one had to become a Jew to become a Christian.

But God made it clear to Peter in Acts 10 that Gentiles are acceptable to God and may be baptized and become Christians without circumcision. The same teaching was vigorously defended by Paul in his epistles to the Romans and the Galatians&#8212;to areas where the Circumcision heresy had spread.

I was raised around Amish. They're born at home and in tact, not cut. They don't use zippers, just buttons. They have no phones in their homes, but they do use pay phones. They don't use electric, or vehicles. All their farming is done with man power and horses. They can use air tools but the air is supplied by a diesel motor, no gasoline.
They're very kind, simple, gentle people, shy, want to be left alone. They live the way all of us did a 120 years ago.

You appear to be grossly misinformed on both issues.

Emperor Domitian imposed a ban on circumcision and Hadrian further expanded that ban by imposing the death penalty on those who practiced circumcision. Hadrian's harsh penalty was a springboard for the Bar Kokhba Rebellion of 132AD. Rome was a Hellenistic culture and believed circumcision to be abhorrent just as the Greeks did.

The King James Bible is just as, "man made" as any other Bible. It was published in 1611 and wasn't even the first Bible published in English. If you want the Bible as originally published, you're out of luck. All that are left now are copies of copies. The oldest Bible, as we know it, the Peshitta, is the one used by the Church of Syria and was compiled and translated in the AD 400s. Bibles of different churches use various translations and they don't agree on what books are canonical and which aren't. There are, therefore, many different versions of the Bible from various churches, of various translations, and various books. There is no single definitive Bible and there never has been.

i know the bibles that we have today are reprinted bud, but the king james bible is the true bible and the only one that is the true words that god said , also the words that he said are wrote in red to mean it is his blood. some of todays bibles are rearanged to saposibly be more understanding but most re not. just look at how confused you are, also i am not confused or misenformed as you say sorry but im corect on both issues here. also my fathernlaw is a pastor for many years and has many doctoretes in this subject, i also reserch many books about circumsion from library and it is as i have posted it on here, you mite know a little about what you say but i am not misimformed sorry to disapoint you here. i dont have the book tiles here now but next trip to the library i will get them an post here for you if you are interested in reading what i posted erlyer about this subject. and yes i know some of these words are not speeled write but i am late for an apointment tonight and i done have the time for corecting them now i should already be on the road but am here fussing with you on lpsg LOL,

LOL, yes you are right, but im tired of being told i dont know what im talking about or that im misinformed ect, ect, each time i post in a thread he seems to chime in an tell me i am wrong, granted im know expert but i do know that what i said was facts, as well as a few other things i have comented on in other threads on this site, there are many ways to disagree with out being such an ass, and like many others on here when push comes to shove, i will defend myself every time, he is free to read any bible he wants, so if he wants a debate on the bible and circumsion ill give him one. as long as he keeps trying to prove me wrong that just shows me that im that much more right. others can agree or disagree as we all have a right to this, but some just dont know how to do this in a kind manor it seems, and i sometimes am guilty of this as well but i try not to be as much as possible.

Having Amish neighbors it is a fact that some of the new born boys are circumcised. The majority of them are not as it is the choice of the parents. There is a major change going on with the Old Order Amish. Many are now using gas engines, LP gas, kerosene and of course diesel. They also now have phone booths at end of their lanes or a phone in the barn. Many of the original old world ways are going by the wayside and an all time number of young adults and middle aged are leaving the old order. I once had an orthodox rabbi for a neighbor and his principals were one must adhere to the Torah as any deviation would only make the traditions and laws questionable by the young. The Rabbi said it is easier for an Orthodox family to live next to a gentile as they can tell their children that is not our way of life but if living next to a Conservative or Reform Jew it is difficult to accuse them of wrong doing to the children and still show respect for all fellow Jews.

you are right in all that you say as we have many amish moved in here around us now and more familys are sapose to be moving here very soon, and they do have many changes that i can see that were not visable in the past, i have seen one group that has a cell phone but they are a young group in there mid, 20s i would say, they have built up the comunity around us and also are very nice people as well and althow there are some who think they are strange the amish have brought a lot to our comunity here, and i myself have already lernd a lot from them. that i was unaware of when travling threw there amish country in pa.
