Thos Jefferson "enemy of the Gospel" & "anti-Christian"

[BrklynLiberal]

The new religious group, which recently built a complex on a hilltop overlooking Interstate 64 at Tinkling Spring Road, pronounced Jefferson “the anti-Christian” and George Washington’s opposite.

:wtf: is going on in this country!!???

At the Christian Heritage Center in Fishersville, Thomas Jefferson was not on the list of honorees Monday.
It was the day a call to arms went out, to Christians everywhere, to band together and fight religious persecution they encounter even today.
It was the day to recognize the perpetrator, that “enemy of the Gospel” - Jefferson, according to Christian Heritage officials.

Jefferson, they said, “feigned belief in God to achieve his own political ends and came to sever Jesus Christ from his divinity.”

Humphries is president and founder of the year-old organization.
Along with supporting the Christian Heritage Center, Linked in Christ also supports the ministries of the Colonial Frontier Church, the Christian Heritage Archives and Museum, an interactive Internet Church, an international Christian heritage fellowship and other ministries.
Humphries says the foundation’s mission is to bring together the different groups of Christians.

“We’re not loving one another, we’re too busy doing other things,” he says.
In addition to Humphries, Bill Dolack played the role of John Lewis, believed to be Augusta’s first white settler; Rod Fritts played the Rev. Samuel Davies, known as the “Apostle to Virginia;” Howie Campbell was Gen. Andrew Lewis, a George Washington friend and hero of the Point Pleasant revolutionary battle.
Each actor cited examples to suggest Jefferson was the enemy of Christians and that Washington was a model Christian, who walked the walk - even begging forgiveness from God when his prayers were not fervent enough.
“Jefferson came disguised as an angel of light by appealing to reason instead of faith - to works instead of the cross,” Humphries said.
“His purpose … was taught by Voltaire, Locke, Paine and Priestly. They become … wolves in sheep’s clothing,” he said.

Campbell finished the service by bringing the crowd to its feet and striking up “God Bless America.” He reminded the crowd that the current president, George W. Bush, has Jesus Christ as Lord and master and is a good example to today’s young people.

1. Thomas Jefferson always was my fav American figure

"But it does me no harm for my neighbor to worship one God or twenty Gods..it neither breaks my leg nor picks my pocket"

3. Oh Gee!

"Jefferson, they said, “feigned belief in God to achieve his own political ends and came to sever Jesus Christ from his divinity"

That's something no politician would do in this day and age.

4. So Jefferson "feigned belief in God

to achieve his own political ends"? Not to mention he appealed to reason. Little wonder the Christian Heritage needs to destroy him. Can't have reason intruding on their closed little minds and ugly theology. As for Washington...interesting that he stated, when negotiating the Tripoli Treaty (think I've got that right) that he stated the United States was in no way founded as a Christian nation. And we thought he could not tell a lie!

Good that they now have a fine Christian president to hold up as an example. Like Washington, Bushie never lies, does he?

Sheesh!

6. Was Adams, actually.

Pretty sure.

5. Got news for them

Washington wasn't a practicing Christian either. He just used more discretion than Jefferson. And they can forget about Lincoln.

7. What is going on? We have lost our collective mind, that's

what.

AAARRRGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

8. Bushco hit us--that is what the f** is going on in this country!!

[Coastie for Truth]

9. They link Bush, probably don't like Carter

(and probably wouldn't like Jesus if he came back to Earth).

10. I think Jefferson is praising the Lord and Lady loudly for not being on

these Pharasee's list.

11. Jefferson and Company Were DEISTS if not totally Agnostic

and they sure as hell didn't believe in the idolatry of Christ. That's what Enlightenment is all about. And our current crop of religious idolators is so anti-American I want to spit. But that's part of the ignorance that fuels them. That, and the inability to recognize, acknowledge or admit to a mistake (of any kind).
