The Jefferson Bible Hoax: What is the origin of the charge that Thomas Jefferson hated the Bible and therefore made his own?

I’ve read his writings. He was clearly a Christian by word and deeds.

[Ajnin]

In that letter to Benjamin Rush, Jefferson specifically stated that he is a Christian.

[Ajnin]

They do have very poor reading comprehension skills because in the very letter they cite Jefferson literally claims to be a Christian….lol

So much for the modern dogma of Separation of Church and State where government can have no connection to anything religious.

This is why leftists say The Separation of Church and State is in the Constitution:

Separation of Church and StateArticle 52 [Religion] (1) Citizens of the USSR are guaranteed freedom of conscience, that is, the right to profess or not to profess any religion, and to conduct religious worship or atheistic propaganda. Incitement of hostility or hatred on religious grounds is prohibited.

(2) In the USSR, the church is separated from the state, and the school from the church.

'Tis my 'opinion' that folks should more worry about things being removed from ANOTHER book.

Exodus 32:32-33
 But now, if you will forgive their sin—but if not, please blot me out of your book that you have written.”  But the Lord said to Moses, “Whoever has sinned against me, I will blot out of my book.

 

Daniel 12:1
 “At that time shall arise Michael, the great prince who has charge of your people. And there shall be a time of trouble, such as never has been since there was a nation till that time. But at that time your people shall be delivered, everyone whose name shall be found written in the book.

 

 

 

Philippians 4:3
 And I intreat thee also, true yokefellow, help those women which laboured with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and with other my fellowlabourers, whose names are in the book of life.

 

Revelation 3:5
He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.

 

Revelation 13:8
And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

 

 

 

Revelation 17:8
 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.

 

 

 

Revelation 20:11-15
"Then I saw a great White Throne and him who was seated on it. Earth and sky fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and THE BOOKS WERE OPENED. Another book was opened WHICH IS THE BOOK OF LIFE. The dead were judged according to their works as recorded in the books. The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to their works.  Then death and Hades were thrown into the Lake of Fire. The Lake of Fire is the second death. If anyone's name was not found written IN THE BOOK OF LIFE, he was thrown into the lake of fire."

 

Revelation 21:27

Nothing impure will ever enter it, nor will anyone who does what is shameful or deceitful, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s book of life.

Amen, Jefferson, owned 700 slaves over the course of his life time

American has allowed the killing of over 65,000,000 future citizens in the last 50 years.

[Jamestown1630]

Interesting article on Jefferson’s attitudes toward slavery, from the Monticello site:

https://www.monticello.org/thomas-jefferson/jefferson-slavery/jefferson-s-attitudes-toward-slavery/

(Sometimes, when his own slaves ran away to try life on their own in neighboring areas, he was known to look the other way as long as he knew that they were doing alright.)

and not everyone is an “orthodox” beliver.

[markman46]

yes Jefferson did state he was a Christian

[otness_e]

Not to mention the “Christian” Jefferson had absolutely no problem singing praises to the anti-Christian butchers known as the Jacobin revolutionaries up to and even beyond the September Massacres. Sorry, but if he were Christian, he’d outright CITE their massacres of Christians as a reason NOT to support the Jacobin excesses, not even caring if that implicitly meant he sided with Louis XVI, and even cite John Adams’ handling of the British during the Boston Massacre as a key difference between the Storming of the Bastille and the Boston Massacre. That’s what I would have done in his shoes, not cheerlead for them (and quite frankly, I’m also pretty sure based on his behavior during Korah’s rebellion that God would have been furious with the Jacobins, and even those Christians who turned the other cheek instead of ensuring God’s dominance over the world by slaying the Jacobins when they had a chance).
