Jesus's foreskin?

Question

Even the foreskin (from His circumcision) was shown by the monks of Charroux, who, as a proof of its genuineness, declared that it yielded drops of blood. [Calvin's Tracts, Vol. 1, pp. 296-304] Several churches claimed to possess the "holy prepuce", including a church at Coulombs, France, the Church of St. John in Rome, and the Church of Puy in Velay! [John P. Wilder: The Other Side of Rome, Grand Rapids, 1959, p. 54]

Answer 1

uummm... eeeeeewwww and what's the question??? and oh come on!!! how ridiculous does that sound??? the holy foreskin of our lord??

Answer 2

What is the question??....
The christian church, well the catholic church actually, has been obsessed with relics of the saints throughout history. The holy grail, shroud of Turin, various bits and pieces of different martyrs etc

If all the catholic churches who claim to have a piece of the true cross combined their holdings,they would have enough wood to build an ark. I'm not sure what could be made out of all the holy foreskins....some nice luggage?

The holy prepuce is just as silly as all the other relics, and really says a lot about the founders of the cult of christianity.

"As a Christian, I am NOT bound by the Abrahamic Covenant, but by the Christian Covenant. Christ's crucifixion is the only blood sacrifice required for my salvation.

Further, Paul, in his letter to the Galatians, explicitly states that circumcision of Christians is an affront to God. I suppose this is one of those "sins of the fathers that is visited upon their children."

So here is the Biblical bottom line- Jews should sacrifice animals and their children's foreskins, make wave offerings of grain, burnt offerings on the Temple altar, flawlessly obey all of the Ten Commandments, and several other practices, if they wish to enter Heaven. Christians only need to accept Jesus of Nazareth, the Christ, as their personal Lord and Savior. No blood sacrifice necessary!

The penultimate sacrifice was made almost two millennia ago on a cross at Calvary- NOTHING Man can do will improve upon that sacrifice, and the very attempt to do so is an affront to God Almighty.

Answer 4

Well, as an atheist, you're not obligated to believe in any of these foreskins. However, if you were a Christian, you could easily believe in the Miracle of the Multiple Foreskins, at least up to three, one for each member of the Trinity. What was Calvin's take on the matter?

Answer 5

Christianity depends on the Bible which is the Word of God and the same as the Word that became flesh. Confused that Jesus Christ called Himself the Word like He was the truth? See all my ebooks.

Answer 6

schmuck. That's what it's called. Bullshit, That's what that story is. Not YOUR story, Calvin's.

Now you know that we atheists don't read any religious material, or bother to educate ourselves before we speak, Haven't you been told that enough times on here already.

I say preach on. but you really didn't ask a question.

Answer 7

Thats not even a question! And many relics are fakes especially during the dark ages. this is nothing new.

Answer 8

What a bunch of crap!
Man can say anything, and there will always be those who believe and follow... no matter how absurd!
Pure fantasy!

Answer 9

You seem to dwell a lot on The God you don't believe in.
