Jesus is fiction. Asking if he is a jew or circumsized for that matter is pointless. It is kind of like asking if Apollo was right-handed.

Well, from what I've heard, it seemed to be a casualty of Christianity broadening out of being a mere sect of Judaism. When the Apostle Paul discovered that there would be Gentiles who would be better suited, it became much easier to get them to convert when they didn't have to subject themselves to Jewish customs like circumcision or a kosher diet.

Circumcision is awesome. Christians should try it. Wait, a ton of them do.

Nearly all the christians I know are circumcised. Unless they're lying --- admittedly, I haven't seen their penises to verify their claims.



Maybe I'm not understanding the point of the OP ? ? ? ? ??

Jesus was always a Jew. The religion he belonged to practiced circumcision, not the one he founded. If the two belief systems were identical, then one would have been superfluous to requirement. And also Christianity had an alternative to it and that was baptism. Which ironically was practiced by John The Baptist before Christianity came into existence. And the laying of water on skin was also symbolic in Judaism. Jesus himself both had his own feet washed and washed others' too.

Jesus was as much a jew as Frodo was from the shire.

Paul already settled this issue. Apparently, Jesus bleeding on a cross fulfilled the need to mutilate the genitals of male babies. Go figure.
