and led them to disobey 1 Co. 7:18

which says:

basically that if anyone is called (to Christianity) who is circumcised, let him be happy with that and if anyone is called who is not circumcised, let him be happy with that. Paul is not telling anyone anything other than to be content with how he is.

Acts 15, verses 5-12, Peter says there is no difference before God, for they both have their hearts purified by faith.

Romans 4:9-11, same same, it is faith, not circumcision that is important.

Galatians 5:2-4 is even stronger, Paul saying that circumcision benefits nothing, once again, it is all of faith.

Colossians 2:11 and 12(re baptism)

Christ 's circumcision is what matters.
