The Jefferson Bible Hoax

Original Article

Posted By: JoElla Bee, 1/22/2023 9:00:58 PM

There is a concerted effort to destroy the very foundations of our constitutional republic.  Public schools have been ground zero of this attack for decades, though it has been hidden from view from those not paying attention. But it is now out in full view, with the radical advancement of Critical Race Theory and the rewriting of American History.(Snip) As we just passed Religious Freedom Day, January 16th, which celebrates the Religious Freedom Statutes of 1786 signed by then Governor Thomas Jefferson, I want to take a moment to debunk a hoax created about Thomas Jefferson that began to get real traction toward the end of the last century.

Jefferson was not a Christian; he was a Diest who subscribed to Christian moral concepts. That’s the best was to describe his religious views, and if he were alive today he would be appalled at the lack of morality in the country.

One of the outstanding works by C.S.Lewis is a short book called "Mere Christianity". It explains in a straightforward and persuasive way, that belief in God is reasonable, and then that belief in Christ is also reasonable. Lewis does not go further to argue for or against particular denominations of Christianity (which, IMHO, is one of the book's strengths -- bearing simple witness to Jesus, while staying out of the conflicts between the different Christian Churches).

The attack from the left to destroy what America was founded on and it's founders has been ongoing for a good while now and now has an even greater concerted effort by those who want to destroy American values and instill socialist/Marxist values. Some of it's early destruction goes back to the cold war, but the globalist Marxist WEF along with enemies like China wants to undermine youth and generations to come.

HOW can you separate God from man in Jesus? The fact that Jefferson took out all of the supernatural and mystical parts tells me he wanted a secular version, not the the true complete version regarding the Blessed Savior Of The World.

#8, it isn’t necessary to subscribe to all of Jefferson’s beliefs in order to recognize his love for the American Ideal & his contributions toward accomplishing it. The same is true of many of our Founders and our great leaders throughout our history. Excerpt from article ——— [Jefferson] Financially contributed to societies to distribute the full Bible Owned a number of complete Bibles that he personally used and regularly studied Financially supported the printing of new editions of the whole Bible Was a member of the Virginia Bible Society Gave unedited Bibles to family members Openly used the full Bible in educational institutions he helped start or direct, including Washington's public schools and the University of Virginia Approved and attended church services in the U.S. Capitol Building So what is the origin of the Jefferson Bible Hoax and the charge that Jefferson hated the Bible and therefore made his own? Historian David Barton dug into the matter and found that those who have propagated this hoax, “have been almost universally… secular in their approach, and their introductions to the book have... misrepresented Jefferson's motivations and beliefs to conform to their own theological assumptions or agendas.” Thomas Jefferson even said to Dr. Benjamin Rush, a dear friend and co-signer of the Declaration of Independence: "My views... [are] very different from that anti-Christian system imputed to me by those who know nothing of my opinions." ——— It’s doubtful there are few, if any, of Thomas Jefferson’s “critics” who could measure up spiritually to his desire, or to his deeds, to ensure this nation is governed by the precepts of the Holy Scriptures. It takes only a cursory look at what is happening in our government & in America’s churches today to see that the perversion of the Bible and the agenda behind it holds more dangerous and detrimental effects for the country, & our 1st Amendment rights, than a mere difference of opinion about religious beliefs.

The point is, Jefferson believed in God, unlike the Atheist Party.

Herschel Walker Drops a Banger Response

Herschel Walker seems to be back in the game for Georgia’s senate seat after a series of coordinated hit pieces dropped weeks prior…(snip). Walker is doing everything he can to consolidate support in the swing state, including giving more interviews. Part of Walker’s appeal has been his down-home persona despite it earning mockery from those who don’t live within a thousand miles of Georgia. He’s not a politician, and that’s blatantly obvious when he speaks. If you are from the South, absolutely nothing about his delivery seems odd or out of place. To the beltway-dwelling liberals who control the press, though, Walker might as well be from an alien world.

CIA Director Gina Haspel met with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) Tuesday amid speculation that she could be ousted from her post by President Trump following his loss in the presidential race.

Was this election rigged? According to precedents set by our State Department, the answer is “yes.” OANN Chief White House correspondent Chanel Rion tweeted out an interesting tidbit of information that Americans, and even their own government, may find interesting. Going to the State Department’s own website, we can see back in 2004 that our government was monitoring the Ukrainian elections and, after witnessing events that took place there, qualified the election as “rigged.” Why? Because Ukraine experienced a wave of oddities that mirror exactly what happened during the 2020 election here in America.

GEOFF BENNETT, host: There's been quite a bit of heated debate lately about gas stoves and potential government regulation. The fire was lit last week after recent studies linked asthma with the use of gas stoves.

Dozens of House Democrats have proposed legislation that would eliminate the debt ceiling, which would allow the government to borrow without any limit set by Congress. The federal government hit the $31.381 trillion debt ceiling last week, and House Republicans are pushing for commitments to cut back on the record growth in federal spending before agreeing to allow more borrowing. But Democrats accuse Republicans of setting up the possibility of prohibiting a debt ceiling hike, which would make the government unable to fund all of its current obligations. Democrats say a better idea is to eliminate all limits on federal borrowing and allow
