MrWonder,

How about we back this discussion train up a bit. If you do not believe that Thomas Jefferson was a Christian why did you post #28 quoting:

"In summary, then, Jefferson was a deist because he believed in one God, in divine providence, in the divine moral law, and in rewards and punishments after death; but did not believe in supernatural revelation. He was a Christian deist because he saw Christianity as the highest expression of natural religion and Jesus as an incomparably great moral teacher. He was not an orthodox Christian because he rejected, among other things, the doctrines that Jesus was the promised Messiah and the incarnate Son of God. Jefferson's religion is fairly typical of the American form of deism in his day."

If you do not consider Thomas Jefferson to have been a Christian why the above quote?

I have maintained that the the neither the Declaration of Independence or Constitution of the United States are Scriptural in nature but humanistic in nature. You on the other hand say you believe the Constitution to be molded on Biblical principles. We disagree, one of us is correct and the other incorrect or we are both incorrect.

As yet I have not found anyway that I can prove anything to either you or HisAlone.

I don't understand how a document can be born out of "Christian principles" when the content uses humanistic terminology.

Don
