Since christians are obliged to be circumcised, was Jesus also circumcised?

Christians are not obliged to be circumcised. Where did you read your assertion, please? smiley

My mistake. I thought God made a pact with Abraham on circumcision. I don't know the verse or chapter in the bible but it's there somewhere.

@DZ

Circumcision was part of the old law of Moses and yes there was a covenant b/tween God and Abraham. Hwever, at Christ death and resurrection the law of moses was done away. Personally I can't say if Jesus was circumcised and I have not read a bible verse on it. However, its cultural for Jews to circumcise and Jesus was a Jew. If He was a man who really believed in the Jewish culture - then I'll say yes. lipsrsealed lipsrsealed

Maybe the experts Davidlan, missb, ako, lady et al can venture more

Peace

Dear Olabowale,

The attitude of trying to always follow Christian posts with your vexations does not bring any blessing to you personally, and it only helps to further ridicule Islam. If you have anything worthwhile to share, you can do so as simply as makes good sense. If you cannot do so, you further give people like me the confirmation that leaving Islam was indeed the best decision I could ever make. And I am mightily thankful to God for that.

If you want to discuss with people, please do so. If you have nothing more than the sort of vexations that is now your second nature to pour everywhere, we can simply smile benignly when you "manifest". Enjoy. cheesy

Interestingly that are even quoting yourself! Relax, girl. You seem to hate truth and you are living in fantasy. Well, I will act as a reality check for you. When we are in a world of fantasy, its easy to say or accept that a material is 100% each of two or more completely different things, all at one and the same place and time.

The reality is different, because human knowledge and the design of nature as god has made to work so that human mind can appreciate it, are completely against this silly concept!
Re: Was Jesus Circumcised? by DeepZone: 2:10pm On Sep 15, 2008
Circumcision, can only be done on 100% human. I was also circumcised and am 100% human. We see that Jesus was circumcised. But he was to be called Emmanuel and not Jesus! And no time he was called Emmanuel. Deceit started right from the bat!




@Deepzone: Good question. But bad answers from Biblical pundit(s)! Begging the question can't possible satisfy an enquiring mind, which wishes to know the truth.


Ohhh he was called Emmanuel.

Re: Was Jesus Circumcised? by Nobody: 1:33am On Sep 16, 2008
As a jew Christ would have been circumcised. It was the law for ALL Jewish males.
Gen 17: 10 This is My covenant, which ye shall keep, between Me and you and thy seed after thee: every male among you shall be circumcised.
11 And ye shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of a covenant betwixt Me and you.
12 And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every male throughout your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with money of any foreigner, that is not of thy seed.
13 He that is born in thy house, and he that is bought with thy money, must needs be circumcised; and My covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.


The circumcision of every male Jew was a symbol of God's covenant with Abraham. Verse 12 corroborates something pilgrim.1 mentioned earlier - Luke 2:21
And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called JESUS, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb.


However we now have a token of a new covenant - the blood of Jesus Christ . . . we also have a new form of circumcision - Col 2:11In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:

12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.

If in this modern days we're one chooses not to Circumcised does it make the person falling off to be a true Christian?

For me I don't see it much necessary that we'll all be circumcised to prove our Christianity faith.

When was he called Emmanuel? As a child or as a preacher? Proof, please.

I hear, sir. Amin. It's true I dislike hearing the version of Islamic 'truth' that is best known for denying everything. Thank you and enjoy. cheesy

What did the blood of JC substitute and what did it not?

Did it render obsolete the Judaic laws of Moses, thus?;

Animal sacrifice
Circumcision
Dietary laws
Cleanliness laws
Stoning and burning to death
Human sacrifices
etc, etc.

If true, does this mean practising anyone of these acts is against the new covenant of Jesus?  Would that be a sin?

@Bold, the blood of jesus did not disable circumcision.
Re: Was Jesus Circumcised? by mikail001(m): 9:35am On Sep 18, 2008
Hey, what has the mission of the Son of the Almighty got to do with this? Has He ever talked about Himself outside the context of the Word? Why do we wantonly waste the power of Word that the Almighty has mercifully given us? Why do we tend to debase Eternity with our trivialities? Please if anyone of us has nothing tangible to say, he/she should stop debasing the Almighty through idle talks!

I am sorry I sounded this way, but the better we realize that certain things are better not trffle about the better for us.

Best regards

I dont think you've been reading your bible at all. Even the gentile believers IN THE BIBLE didnt need to be circumcised after salvation.
Better you people stop revealing your crass ignorance of this book called the bible.

You better do for health consequences. An uncircumcised peewee is a comfortable home for harmful bacteria. It's dirty and very unhygienic.

I know.

The Benefits of Circumcision are greater.

im just saying,

Both The Circumcised and the Uncircumcised

can have healthy and fulfilling lives

there is nothing spiritual about it.

ok; But you still need to circumcise your boys so that women will not make fun of them and reject them sex when they see them naked. It wouldn't cost you a thing to save them that embarrassment.
