It is said that Adam and Moses were born circumcised, being the image of god, why didn't he do us all instead of putting us under the knife. The greatest of sinners were these two

Christians claim that in the birth of Jesus there occurred the miracle of the incarnation of God in the form of a human being. To say that God became truly a human being invites a number of questions. Let us ask the following about the alleged truly man- truly god Jesus. What happened to his foreskin after his circumcision (Luke 2:21)? Did it ascend to heaven, or did it decompose as with any human piece of flesh? During his lifetime what happened to his hair, nails, and blood shed from wounds? Did the cells of his body die as in ordinary human beings? If his body did not function in a truly human way, he could not be truly human as well as truly God. Yet, if his body functioned exactly in a human way, this would nullify any claim to divinity. It would be impossible for any part of God, even if incarnate, to decompose in any way and still be considered God. By definition, not mystery, the everlasting, one God, in whole or in part, does not die, disintegrate, or decompose: "For I the Lord do not change" (Malachi 3:6). Did Jesus' flesh dwell in safety after his death? 1 Peter 3:18 states Jesus was "put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit." 1 Corinthians 15:44-45 claims Jesus was "raised a spiritual body," that is, he "became a life-giving spirit." No mention of the survival of the flesh is alluded to. In Acts 2:31, it is claimed Peter stated that following the alleged resurrection Jesus' body did not see decay. Paul is alleged to have also made this claim (Acts 13:34-37). However, unless Jesus' body never underwent "decay" during his lifetime he could not be God, but if it did not undergo "decay" then he was not truly human.

Yes, people say things, don't listen too much to what is rumor...
Nothing is said about Adam being born circumcised and Moses was circumcised when he was not a baby as most practices are done...
Personally I have no idea why we still circumcising. Continents around the world do not circumcise, except the Jew community... I think it is just $$$$$... more revenues for the medical community. Every time a boy is circumcised, check your bill, there's specific high charges for it... and to me, with no-necessity...

Actually, according to the Bible, circumcision was a sign of a covenant between Abraham and his generations and God. It doesn't say Adam was born circumcised. Moses was uncircumcised for part of his life, according to Exodus.

In line with islamic teaching all muslim men should be circumcised because Allah spoke in the Qur'an Surah 16An Nahl verse 123 (16:123) Please follow the religion of Abraham as a good prophet.He did not make ally to Allah.Abraham and his followers were circumcised so we should follow him...By circumcising the fore part of a pennis will keep clean. and easy to be cleaned from the remnant of urinating.If it is not circumcised its remnant will still in the fore part...We should clean our body (wudhu) before we are going to pray by washing hands,face,ear,rubbing hairs on our head and washing feet..Islam is wanting everything cleaned.

If we are born circumcised, then it is no longer a practice.

Hmmm... I may be mistaken, but I thought Jesus was circumsised in human form. In the Image of God?

Don't believe what you just wrote !!! Nobody born circumcised !!! Pay attention to the spiritual lesson !!!
Circumcise your heart !!!
[Rom 5:8] But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
[1John 1:8] If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
[1John 1:9] If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
[Rom 10:9] That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
[Rom 10:10] For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
[Mat 10:32] Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.
