I have not read it to know what all it has in it. It would be interesting to see what a founding father focused on in the Bible.

Do. It's not what's in it...it's what's NOT in it.

Jefferson's "Life and Morals of Jesus" (AKA Jefferson's Bible) contains 'only the teachings' of Jesus up to his crucifixion.

Online version of Jefferson's work available here:

No you don't. You believe in a book of lies.

If clownie truly believed in that book he would not display the behavior that he does on this thread and others. He might not think that they are lies but he gives off the impression that there is no need to follow that book either.

you sure inferred and projected a LOT into my conversation with NS! get your own life!:)

I missed this till I read Waters response to it. I always welcome Waters opinion on things. She has a life, and in my opinion your question was implying insult. I am still waiting on a response from you, but you have not made your usual morning stop in here.

Well that is sweet for you to be concerned about me. However some stranger on the internet laughing at me hardly affects my daily life. Quite frankly it is more important for me to speak my mind than it is what some jackass assumes about me.
So...you believe in a god???
IMO...We are all molded in to what we have become. We are molded by our parents...relatives...friends. ..and by our ancestors. We all carry bits and pieces of them with us. For some that molding also comes from religion...even those that have walked away from it.
Whether one believes in the existence of a god or not the mere fact of the possibility of a god has affected us. Take you for example...you came to this thread asking questions about God. The mere possibility of a god has "molded" your thinking. Even if your intentions are to disprove the existence of a god, the idea of a god has played a role in your life...good or bad.
Oh well...think what you want of me...I doubt if it will change who I am...what I think...what I post here on this thread...even if you laugh at me!
Have a good day and many the sun shine upon the clay in your garden...
On a side note...clay can actually be good for a garden...it will hold moisture...filled with vital nutrients...good luck though getting anything to grow in it with out the...hands of the gardener.
Oh...and one last thing...never dig in clay while it is moist...you end up with hard clumps that are even more difficult to work with.

This is a ignorant post by a ignorant poster!!!!!!!!!! who is very evil.. works for satan

PITIFUL

So...you think I lied? Maybe I should have said instead...

"Clownie truly believes in that book of lies. He displays the behavior that he does on this thread and others because of it. He might think that they are lies but he gives off the impression that there is a need to follow that book of lies."

Is that better clownie?

1 Thessalonians 4:7-8
For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life. Therefore, he who rejects this instruction does not reject man but God, who gives you his Holy Spirit.

Yes it does... a crappy one. LOL

Most of the "christians" on Topix believe only that they are better than everyone else and can do and say whatever they want as long as they say "Praise Jesus" afterwards.

They are the kind of people that Jesus constantly condemned.

What they fail to realize is that Jesus was talking about THEM.

Have a nice day you non-intellectual bimbo ... ya hear!?

The first step to a holy life is to accept Jesus Christ as your savior!!! if you don't believe the book or in Jesus don't judge me

And this is a Christian with his life reborn to live as Jesus commands him to...loving his neighbor as he does himself.

“But I say to you who hear, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you. To one who strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also, and from one who takes away your cloak do not withhold your tunic either. Give to everyone who begs from you, and from one who takes away your goods do not demand them back. And as you wish that others would do to you, do so to them.

And if you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same?

I am sure clownie that you will also think this is an ignorant post. Who would expect for a Christian to even attempt to follow the above verses?

Don't blame me for this post...WN said that we should post things that you Christians don't believe in...so I did.

Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them.

Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away.

Chuckle…I got that part, but what was included in his book are the parts of the Bible that he personally chose to focus on. Maybe I read your post to me incorrectly? I was talking about what the story of the mustard seed means to me, and how I believe it is a story to give strength. In your reply you suggested Jefferson’s Bible to me. As he was a founding father, it would suggest to me that he focused on passages that gave him strength to stand for what he believes in, while keeping scripture close to his heart. That could not have been easy in my opinion, considering the fact that they were trying to create a country free from religious rule.
