New wine, new hearts,new bottles.

Again, what does this have to do with unwritten commands? If the Church is to follow Sola Scriptura, then what about Acts 15? Can you answer that?

Jesus came to fulfill the Law, not to abolish it. If physical circumcision was necessary, Christians would follow that law.

Ro 2:28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly ; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: Ro 2:29

But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly ; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.

1Co 7:19

Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.

Plus circumcision is a sign of the old covenant. We have a new covenant, a new testament, and consider the old done away with.
