No Pruzhany, they did not, Christians who are unaware or lawless may have wanted to do away with it, but the New Testament does not do away with circumcision.
Acts 16
Paul wanted Timothy to accompany him, so he took him and circumcised him on account of the Jews in that area, for they all knew that his father was a Greek.
Jesus came saying that anyone who kept the laws of Moses to also teach others to keep the laws of Moses would be the greatest in the kingdom of heaven, he also instructs us that we fall under the authority of the priests in Judaism but of course, the priests in Judaism would not have made us jump through hoops.
Christians have it in their head that if we are talking about circumcision, they have it in their head that everyone who gets circumcised does it to be saved and so it must be evil. There is no in between with these people.
Jews did not stop circumcising and everything Paul said has been perverted to make him look lawless as if he was going about teaching Jews not to keep the laws of Moses when he never did this, Christians do this.
Acts 21 ~~ OUT RIGHT LIES TOLD AGAINST PAUL, people who love to love a lie will tell the same lie.
20When they heard this, they praised God. Then they said to Paul: “
You see, brother, how many thousands of Jews have believed, and all of them are zealous for the law. 21They have been informed that you teach all the Jews who live among the Gentiles to turn away from Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children or live according to our customs. 22What shall we do? They will certainly hear that you have come,
23so do what we tell you. There are four men with us who have made a vow.
24Take these men, join in their purification rites and pay their expenses, so that they can have their heads shaved.
Then everyone will know there is no truth in these reports about you, but that you yourself are living in obedience to the law.
If Jesus or Paul or any of the disciples came teaching Jews against the laws of Moses then they are worthless, lawless, false prophets who deserved death.
We are also informed that a great falling away from Torah would occur as it obviously has.
The Man of Sin ~ The lawless times to come.
1Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and
by our gathering together unto him,
2That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
3Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
4Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. 5Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
6And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
7For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth
will let, until he be taken out of the way.
8And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
9Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
