Jefferson Tells the Truth

[Guest]

Here's an interesting quote from Thomas Jefferson:

He stated that he looked forward to "the prospect of a restoration of primitive Christianity. I must leave it to younger athletes to encounter and lop off the false branches which have been engrafted into it by the mythologies of the middle and modern ages."

Jefferson's version of Christianity was primitive, indeed. It didn't include any of the miracles worked by the Jesus of The New Testament.

George, what impression do you think Thomas Jefferson would have formed of the LDS Church?

Personally, I believe that he would have noticed many similarities such as the laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost, etc., and looked into it seriously.

Didn't you know that Thomas Jefferson is a Mormon? Well, apparently you missed the memo. He's even purported to be sealed to Sally Hemings! I don't know if this is true or not. But, given that the Church is out of control is this area, I don't doubt it.

I think Jefferson was far too intelligent, intellectual and worldly wise to have been taken in by a charlatan such as Joseph Smith. Just an opinion.
