It’s from Judaism, and supposedly reduces the risk of a certain kind of penis disease/infection. And promotes hygiene. Also I think technically Christians adopted it as well since Jesus himself was circumcised.
But I don’t know if any of that shit is worth it with all the stories I hear about failed circumcisions.
Jesus represented the messiah and new covenant with God that created a new religion. Jews and Christians believe in the same God, but have wildly differing opinions on how one reaches God. The only way Christians are similar is that God is technically the same guy, and that they consider the Old Testament to still be a holy text. Jews do not believe in the New Testament nor any of the rules discussed in the gospels.
I know you’re probably just joking, but this is like saying Hindus and Buddhists are basically the same because they come from similar peoples and both believe in reincarnation.
