He didn't know he was going to do what he did. I'm just saying that he wasn't a Jew because he believed in himself is a little odd. A better point would be that he had different views. Also I am eight,

Jesus knew why he was here,READ the BIBLE.....Jesus was well aware of the his roll in providing all Christians a way to be SAVED....READ THE BIBLE

Re: Meet Jsmith

I seem to remember Jesus being presented in the Temple for circumcision or something - or is that from a wrong version of the bible, like a catholic or mormon one?

I'll be able to check the KJV 1611 when it arrives. Until then can someone clarify that for me? He wouldn't have been circumcised for health reasons maybe, would he?

I'd hate to think he was innocently circumsized by some vigilante rabbi.

Re: Meet Jsmith

What does this mean? Are you a foreigner or an eight year old?

He didn't know he was going to do what he did. I'm just saying that he wasn't a Jew because he believed in himself is a little odd. A better point would be that he had different views. Also I am eight,

Do I get an award for guessing your age? Your parents should be making you read you Bible! Do they know that you're online calling Jesus a Jew?

Genesis 17:9-14 (KJV161)

9And God said unto Abraham, Thou shalt keep my covenant therefore, thou, and thy seed after thee in their generations.
10This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee; Every man child among you shall be circumcised.
11And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me and you.
12And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every man child in your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with money of any stranger, which is not of thy seed.
13He 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.
14And the uncircumcised man child whose flesh of his foreskin is not circumcised, that soul shall be cut off from his people; he hath broken my covenant.



Jesus was demonstrating that he, as a man, was bound to the old laws so many wannabe Christians are uncomfortable observing and following.

Re: Meet Jsmith

Found the refernce brethren:

In Luke.

21And 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.
22And when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses were accomplished, they brought him to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord;
23(As it is written in the law of the LORD, Every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord
24And to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons.



I'm now confused. Does this show they were following Jewdish rights or what? The Law of Moses was Jews back then? Or am I misreading this?



Help please.

You get a gold star. That was my attempt at making a joke, I didn't lie about my age. Also wouldn't the first Christians be his disciples? Or would we conclude that Abraham was wrong all along and interpret Christianity as the only right religion since God himself was Jesus?
