you stated that if Timothy knew the scriptures from his youth as it says in the scriptures then why wasn't he circumcised beforehand to which I replied Israel had the the Torah and Moses in the wilderness and yet they did not circumcised either so if you can find the answer to why Timothy he wasn't circumcised then you should also be able to find the answer to why they didn't circumcise but the answer is not clear in scripture hence you are going on speculation.
