The circumcision of Jesus is an event from the life of Jesus according to the Gospel of Luke, which states in verse 2:21 that
Jesus was circumcised eight days after his birth

In 36 C.E. uncircumcised Gentiles were
first accepted into the Christian
congregation. Though God had prepared the
apostle Peter for this dramatic event, Peter
and those with him were amazed to see
holy spirit poured out on uncircumcised
people. (Acts 10:1-16, 34-48) Many other
Jewish Christians found this hard to take.
In fact, some Jewish Christians, “supporters
of circumcision,” criticized Peter for
associating with uncircumcised people.—
Acts 11:2, 3.
Why were these critics disturbed? Because
for almost 2,000 years, circumcision had
been a sign of a special relationship with
God. When Jehovah God commanded
Abraham to have all the males in his
household circumcised, He said: “It must
serve as a sign of the covenant between
me and you . . . to time
indefinite.” (Genesis 17:10-13) Many
centuries later, circumcision was still very
important to the Jews. Many of them felt
that uncircumcision meant uncleanness.
(Isaiah 52:1) They felt that God’s holy
people should have no dealings with
unclean, uncircumcised Gentiles.
In 49 C.E. the apostle Paul was confronted
in Syrian Antioch by some of these
“supporters of circumcision.” At the end of
his first missionary trip, he reported to the
congregation there how God “had opened
to the [uncircumcised] nations the door to
faith.” It seemed clear to him that there
was no need for these people of the
nations to be circumcised. Certain men
from Judea, however, had a different
opinion. “Unless you get circumcised
according to the custom of Moses,” they
asserted, “you cannot be saved.” They felt
that circumcision was essential for
salvation and that all Gentile converts to
Christianity had to get circumcised.—Acts
14:26–15:1.
Strong feelings were involved. No doubt
they mustered persuasive arguments to
support their opinion. How was the peace
and unity of the congregation to be
maintained? After there had been much
discussion of the subject, the congregation
in Antioch “arranged for Paul and Barnabas
and some others of them to go up to the
apostles and older men in Jerusalem
regarding this dispute.” (Acts 15:2) There
was no suggestion that in a matter of such
gravity, each one was entitled to his own
opinion. These Christians had enough
humility and loyalty to theocratic order to
seek an authoritative decision from their
central teaching body.—1 Corinthians
14:33, 40; James 3:17, 18; 1 Peter 5:5, 6.
A Decision Made
The apostles and older men in Jerusalem
(obviously recognized as a governing body
in the early Christian congregation)
carefully examined the spirit-inspired
Scriptures and reviewed how holy spirit had
directed things over the previous 13 years.
Their decision? For Gentile converts,
circumcision was not a prerequisite for
salvation. (Acts 15:6-29) Here was a clear
directive to take the place of personal
opinion.
The congregations that heeded this
guidance “continued to be made firm in the
faith and to increase in number from day to
day.” (Acts 16:4, 5) Some persons, though,
did not accept the governing body’s
decision. They were still convinced that
their opinion was correct and that
complying with the Mosaic Law was
essential for salvation. What would you
have done? They became a dangerous,
divisive influence among Christians. Take a
look at the counsel given by the apostle
Paul over the next 15 years as he tried to
protect faithful Christians from the
influence of such stubbornly opinionated
ones.
Galatia, Asia Minor, c. 50-52 C.E. The
freedom gained by Christians through the
sacrifice of Jesus Christ was endangered.
Fear of persecution by Jewish enemies
made some Christians want to impose
precepts from the Mosaic Law on fellow
Christians. (Galatians 6:12, 13) The apostle
Paul reminded the disciples that to take up
such Jewish practices as circumcision
would be to let themselves “be confined
again in a yoke of slavery.” Since they were
sinners, none of them could keep the Law
perfectly, so they would be condemned by
the Law, just as the Jews were. Only
Jesus’ sacrifice could make them clean and
save them. “If you become circumcised
[and thus become obligated to perform the
whole Law],” Paul said, “Christ will be of no
benefit to you.”—Galatians 5:1-4; Acts
15:8-11.

You dabbled into a subject you have no knowledge of.

Abraham was commanded by God to circumsise and also for his son. The Jews believed because they were circumsised being Abraham descendant, they are automatically qualified for salvation. Paul was telling them circumcision is not enough qualification for salvation.

Sorry, that why we say you need the holyspirit to understand the gospel.
It is not a carnal book like koran filled with lies, atrocities and contradictions.

The jews were thinking that cirumcision can give them salvation and they were braging about it thinking that salvation is only for the circumcised.

So paul was telling them WHETHER CIRCUMCISION OR NO CIRCUMCISION, that it is NOT A PROFIT to them in christ.

In other words, they are not saved because they are circumcised or uncircumcise, but because they believe in christ.
