So now we play the game of Bible interpetation and get off the subject of the Ten Commandmendts coming from the word of God and being adopted as the Civil Law foundation.
I am glad you agree! Jesus was not the subject! The Ten Commandmendts were in the Old Testament not the New.
But since you bring it up let me say that Jesus enhanced the Law and made it clear to us all on the best way to
follow them, By the Golden Rule, and I wish all the people in the world, (not just America) would follow the Ten Commandmendts, and the example of Jesus Christ and his Golden Rule!
Ops4 God Bless America!

No Sir. I am in agreement with you regarding the 10c's. If you looks at my posts on the subject I think you will see that.

I was just commenting that Jefferson didn't believe in the Bible nor the God of it. He actually compiled a Bible that took anything supernatural (that Christ did), out.
My post to you wasn't speaking to Biblical interpretation at all, only what Jefferson really believed about the Bible.
My personal opinion is that Jefferson, while being an admirable statesman in many ways, was a moral failure and Scripture, like nothing else, reminded him of that.
