Shouldn't Jesus (who WAS the NEW COVENANT) have been born perfect according to the OLD Covenant?

I don't think it says anywhere in the Bible that the foreskin is imperfect or evil. God simply tells Abraham to snip his tallywhacker (Abraham's, not God's) , " and it shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me and you" (Genesis 17,11).
The interesting part is, what would have happened to Jesus if he had died before being circumcised -- i.e. if Herod had succeeded in killing Baby Jesus, or if the virgin Mary had spontaneously aborted Jesus.
In that case Jesus would have been outside the Old Covenant (not being circumcised) and outside the New Covenant (since Jesus hadn't established the New Covenant through His supreme sacrifice yet), which means that Baby Jesus would have gone straight to Hell!
1st Corinthians 15:16 For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:
1st Corinthians 15:17 And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.
1st Corinthians 15:18 Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.

Regarding the possibility of Mary having a miscarriage, I had always thought that with baby Jesus in continual physical contact with her, that she would have experienced a continual healing effect, and therefore would have been impervious to disease or injury for the duration of the pregnancy. Perhaps even to the extent of Mary being able to withstand an atomic weapon.
Herod had no idea what he was up against . . .
Jud 1:15 To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are un Godly among them of all their un Godly deeds which they have un Godly committed, and of all their hard [speeches] which un Godly sinners have spoken against him.

Goodness it was a joke. Can we joke. Why do you think God gave us a sense of humor?

It seems to me your faith is faltering. I suggest you submit yourself to Landover officers for proper True Christian edification.
I will pray for you.

Pastor, my faith is as strong as ever. I just wonder if the "man" part of Jesus sometimes overshadowed the "god" part of him.

I've recently wondered if Jesus ever had a very dangerous (mortal) accident as a child, and then three days later he arose.
When Jesus was on the cross, he looked down and said:
John 19:26 When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son!
It doesn't say (in Matthew, Mark, Luke or John) if she (mary, mother of Jesus) was crying. Perhaps she had seen Jesus die before (in part of his life that isn't recorded) and she knew he'd come back.
Just some things to ponder.

We clearly have a bit more research to do on this issue. An ancient theologian has surmised that the rings around the planet Saturn are actually Christ Jesus' Holy Prepuce.
Here is a partial list from just a few scripture verses:
Hypocrites (Matthew 24:51), The Unforgiving (Mark 11:26), Homosexuals (Romans 1:26, 27), Fornicators (Romans 1:29), The Wicked (Romans 1:29), The Covetous (Romans 1:29), The Malicious (Romans 1:29), The Envious (Romans 1:29), Murderers (Romans 1:29), The Deceitful (Romans 1:29), Backbiters (Romans 1:30), Haters of God (Romans 1:30), The Despiteful (Romans 1:30), The Proud (Romans 1:30), Boasters (Romans 1:30), Inventors of evil (Romans 1:30), Disobedient to parents (Romans 1:30), Covenant breakers (Romans 1:31), The Unmerciful (Romans 1:31), The Implacable (Romans 1:31), The Unrighteous (1Corinthians 6:9), Idolaters (1Corinthians 6:9), Adulterers (1Corinthians 6:9), The Effeminate (1Corinthians 6:9), Thieves (1Corinthians 6:10), Drunkards (1Corinthians 6:10), Reviler (1Corinthians 6:10), Extortioners (1Corinthians 6:10), The Fearful (Revelation 21:8), The Unbelieving (Revelation 21:8), The Abominable (Revelation 21:8), Whoremongers (Revelation 21:8), Sorcerers (Revelation 21:8), All Liars (Revelation 21:8)

Bow in the sky, prepuce ... IN SPACE!
And once outside of earth it could regain its divine size.
An people still wonder if jesus could have married.
Saturn is twice the diameter of Uranus and the rings are way spread from the planet.
