  If Jesus is God and God told Abraham then i guess it’s technically the right dude.

    only jesus said there is a new covenant with him, which nearly all denominations interpret to mean the rite of circumcision is a thing of the past

      … Unless you’re in Protestant dominated USAmerica, where male genital mutilation remains a widespread a common practice.

      Roughly 80% of American boys/men are circumcized.

      I can provide either statistics or pics as proof, your choice.

        None of that is for (directly) religious reasons though; Americans circumcise their sons because a cereal company founder thought it would prevent masturbation, and Americans are removed apparently

        But that’s not religious. It’s an american thing.

        Tell that to the doctors recommending it then, not to us. As far as I’m concerned this obsession over it is a mental disease and not one I’m pleased to see making the jump from Reddit.

        I’m circumcised, and I don’t give a shit, and I never will, and it’s not the same thing as FGM at all.

    Jesus’ deity is pretty famously rejected by the Jewish faith.

    Didn’t Jesus deny being god though, the son of god and god are not the same entity, it’s like saying I’m my mother because I was born out of her, but two different entities

    Jesus hadn’t been created yet. God is eternal, but Jesus was God made mortal.

      In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

      The same was in the beginning with God.

      All things were made by him: and without him was made nothing that was made."

      is generally interpreted to mean that Jesus was there from the beginning. Or, to quote the Nicene Creed,

      begotten and not made, consubstantial with the Father

    This is technical correct and I love it.

  Not as readily recognizable; but on the other hand, if you recognize Jesus then you already know this is incorrect.

  Where’s that painting of Moses with the tablets? That’s probably better
