 Kelika says: "Like many other upper-class, educated citizens of the new republic, including George Washington, Jefferson was a deist. Deists differed from traditional Christians by rejecting miraculous occurrences and prophecies and embracing the notion of a well-ordered universe created by a God who withdrew into detached transcendence. Critics of the time regarded deism as an ill-conceived attempt to reconcile religion with scientific discoveries. For rationalists in the Age of Enlightenment, deism was one of many efforts to liberate humankind from what the deists viewed as superstitious beliefs." "Say nothing of my religion," Jefferson once said. "It is known to myself and my God alone. Its evidence before the world is to be sought in my life; if that has been honest and dutiful to society, the religion which has regulated it cannot be a bad one." I have a copy of his bible. A very good read! Very arrogant and presumptuous of Jefferson, based upon nothing but his own will, contrary to all historical evidence from even the Jews of Jesus day who never questioned nor doubted the very miracles done by him (who therefore tried to kill the raised Lazarus, and paid the Romans to say Jesus body was stolen by his disciples, and finally crucified him after a mock trial), to arrogantly edit the witnesses of history into his own fictitious and repressed account of Jesus, because of his anti-Christian Deistic and Masonic revolutionary whims. The rules of examining historical truth are historical eye-witness accounts, as done in a court room, with corroborating testimony. There is more evide... I also have a copy of "The Jefferson Bible" and it's an improvement on the original. My family is rather fond of Jefferson because we trace our direct ancestry back to his sister Jane, who was my multi-great grandmother. |
