Abstract
Çok eski zamanlardan beri çeşitli toplumlar tarafından farklı amaçlarla uygulanan sünnetin Yahudilere göre özel bir anlamı vardır. Yahudiler, Tanrı Yehova’nın ataları İbrahim’le bir anlaşma yaptığına ve anlaşmanın sembolü olarak da sünneti belirlediğine inanırlar. Tevrat’ta açıkça emredilen sünneti uygulama konusunda Yahudiler tarih boyunca titizlik göstermişler ve bununla ilgili geleneksel bir kutlama töreni oluşturmuşlardır. Sünnet konusu, Hıristiyanlığın Yahudilikle ilişkisini ve Hıristiyanların Eski Ahit’e yaklaşımını gösteren güzel bir örnektir. Hıristiyanlar Eski Ahit’e inandıkları hâlde, özellikle hukuki konularda, ona bağlı kalmazlar. Çünkü Tanrı’nın insanlarla yeni bir antlaşma yaptığını, bu antlaşmaya göre kurtuluşun yasaya uymakla değil Îsâ Mesih’e inanmakla mümkün olduğunu düşünürler. Bu sebeple şekilsel uygulamalar Yahudilikte önemli bir yer tutarken Hıristiyanlıkta çok dikkate alınmaz. Temizlik ve yiyecekle ilgili kurallar uygulamadan kaldırıldığı gibi cerrahi sünnet uygulaması da kaldırılmıştır. Îsâ, Yahudi yasasına uygun olarak sekiz günlükken sünnet edilmiştir. Ancak bu uygulama onun tercihi değildir ve sünneti benimsediğini göstermez. Yetişkin olduğunda sünnetin önemli olmadığını ifade etmiştir. Petrus’un ve İstefan’ın sözlerinden sünnetin gerekli olmadığı anlaşılır. Pavlus’un sünnetle ilgili ifadeleri bir bütün olarak değerlendirildiğinde onun da sünnete karşı olduğu görülür.
According to Jewish people, the circumcision, practiced by different societies for many different purposes since ancient times, is the symbol of the treaty between Abraham and God Jehovah. The circumcision explicitly commanded in the Torah, has been meticulously practiced by Jews throughout history and a traditional celebration has been established around this practice. The circumcision is a good example of the relationship of Christianity to Judaism and the approach of Christians to the Old Testament. Christians believe in the Old Testament, but they do not adhere to it, especially in legal matters. Because, they think that God made a new covenant with the people and according to that, salvation is only possible by believing in Jesus Christ, not by obeying the law. For this reason, formal practices have an important place in Judaism and are not valued as much in Christianity. Circumcision has been revoked just as cleaning and food-related regulations have been revoked. Jesus was circumcised when he was eight days old per Jewish law. However, this was not his choice and does not imply the adoption of circumcision by Christians. He stated that circumcision is not important when he is an adult. It is understood that circumcision is not necessary from the words of Petrus and Stefan. When Paul's statements about circumcision are taken as a whole, we can see that he is also opposed to circumcision.
