No, it is not optional for Christians. Jesus himself spoke strongly against circumcision twice and there are adequate scriptures in The New Testament to confirm his teachings. There is also a papal bull (policy statement) against circumcision. The teachings of The New Testament clearly tell us that circumcision is an offense to Christ and a symbolic rejection of Christ. That doesn't sound to me like it is optional.

I have already addressed this in an earlier post.
