It's true.Christianity got a lot of newcomers in the first hundred years of Christ's death because they did away with circumcision. Men could not be Jewish without being cut, but the Christian cult did away with that requirement and men were more comfortable joining up with them

The Roman guy what's his name, Constantine did a lot of help too. He quit killing Christians when he had a dream that Jesus told him he'll win the battle against an enemy if he was on Jesus' side and after Constantine woke up he made shields with crosses on them and he won that battle with his enemy even though he was 4/1 underdog. He converted to Christianity and quit killing Christians...but he still worshipped his other gods lol.
It became a famous religion after that and no one was ashamed to join it anymore.

Christianity is the international greatest faith 33% to 17%, that's in basic terms once you ruin out ALL Christian Protestant communities that Islam is larger. evaluate the reality that in case you go away Islam in many international locations you or your loved ones gets it somewhat is heads decrease off. Wait till there is somewhat freedom of religion and notice what takes place, yet that's EXACTALLY what the osama's and Terrorists are deathly nervous of. in case you do not have faith that there is no freedom of religion in many Arab international places, attempt preaching with reference to the hot testomony interior the streets of Saudi Arabia, see how long you reside. Peace be with you.

Being attractive to potential converts isn't the same thing as being formed. Christianity was formed because Jesus Christ is the Savior. And, as far as I can tell, ancient Judaism didn't go out of its way to try to find converts. Many of them wanted to feel exclusive.

I was circumsized as an infant. Then as a teen, I accepted Christ. It may have been one reason men converted many years ago, but I dont think the theory is still applicable. Do you?

yeah, sure, whatever you say....christians endured major persecution, I think circumcision was the least of their concerns. I amazes me when I think of what so many Christians went through for the Truth. Christianity is NOT a cult

What is the point of this "question"?
Speaking of circumcisions, in a scientific survey it was discovered that people with circumcisions are 60% LESS likely to catch STDs and the like, including HIV and Herpes. Glad I got mine!
