Romans 2:24-26 For "the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you," as it is written. 25 For circumcision is indeed profitable if you keep the law; but if you are a breaker of the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision. 26 Therefore, if an uncircumcised man keeps the righteous requirements of the law, will not his uncircumcision be counted as circumcision?
"the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you," Paul begins by quoting Isaiah 52.5
Because their circumcision is coupled with disobedience, it has become the object of the Gentiles blasphemy. If you say you are a believer in Christ, but then do the things, or take part in things that you KNOW God does not want you to do, your example becomes like blasphemy to those around you who don't believe.
On the Same Note: Just because someone has not been physically circumcised, but he lives his life in obedience to GOD, IS HE NOT BETTER THEN ONE CIRCUMCISED AND NOT OBEYING GOD.
