Why did Paul write Against Gentile circumcision? Paul, though, repeatedly wrote to dissuade Gentiles from being circumcised. He did not do this simply because he thought that circumcision was unnecessary; rather, he argued that circumcision was positively detrimental, separating Gentile Christ followers from Christ and from grace (Gal 5:3-4). In contrast, he argued that the reception of Christ’s Spirit through faith forged a connection to Abraham that rebirths Gentiles as sons and seed of Abraham (Gal 3:7, Gal 3:29; cf. Rom 4).
