I wonder why the family bible is only 2 generations? My family’s bible is at least 5 generations and there are additional notations for the 6th generation before my own.
The Bible was a mother’s gift to her son. Two generations.
It was a personal Bible...not a family Bible that he had.
He doesn’t need to be saved, he said so and he’s always right.
Just eat the cracker and move on.
What are some of these jabs I am hearing about judging based on how old someone’s Bible is? Do you really think American votes care, or base such a thing on who they will vote for?
I suppose King George had a family Bible a lot older than George Washington’s - and? So that means King George would have been a better leader for America than George Washington?
This is stupid.
Ronald Reagan used his Family Bible given to him by his mother for his Presidential Oath of Office.
I guess some of you think Reagan isn’t a “true conservative” because his Bible didn’t go back four generations? The same Bible he also shared in one of his campaign stops in California?
Are these some Cruz supporters egging on this lame agenda? What the hell is wrong with some of these people? Next another “Two” verse “Secund” (verse) nutty stuff, I didn’t know Jesus spoke King James English, I thought he spoke Aramaic and a lot of the Bible was written in Greek.
How shocking, Trump shared a Bible that didn’t go back four generations. How many Christians in Europe and elsewhere cannot either because they lost their family Bible to some garbage heap when the Nazis dragged them off to prison or concentration camps?
You know, you are not better than anyone else just because you have a family Bible from 1849, Jimmy Carter had a family Bible going back four generations and he was the third worst President after Obama and Buchanan. Real diggers around this post. Do you understand what the American voter is going to think of whoever the candidate is that’s supposidly being “promoted” with such bizarre line of thinking by “supporters”? They will reject such ideations in no small way and show them all to the door. And say, take your family Bible with you, don’t think yours is better than mine or whatever Holy Book I have just because yours goes back to the slavery days.
Some people really know how to lose the farm and the election.

My mother passed away on Dec.18, 2015, she was 95 years old. The only personal possession she had, that I wanted was a bible that my wife and I gave to her and my father, 50 years ago. My dad predeceased her by several years.
I opened the bible and read the inscription. We had given her that bible on Dec.18, 1965. Exactly 50 years to the date of her death
That bible, though not “ancient”, is a tremendous consolation to me.
