Thomas Jefferson's Cut-and-Paste Bible - WSJ.com:
Last November, in response to protest, the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery removed a video installation depicting ants crawling over a small crucifix. This coming November, the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History will exhibit a cut-and-paste Bible of a mere 86 pages. Were it the work of David Wojnarowicz (the artist behind the crucifix video) or Andres Serrano (of "Piss Christ" fame), this Bible would doubtless stir up a hornet's nest. But in fact, it was created by Thomas Jefferson.
During the election of 1800, Jefferson was denounced as a "howling atheist" and "a confirmed infidel" known for "vilifying the divine word, and preaching insurrection against God." But the Virginian also revered Jesus as "the first of human Sages" and was, according to one biographer, "the most self-consciously theological of all American presidents."

Brett Meyer has left a new comment on your post "Good Questions from Nathan Bickel, WELS - About Mu...":
When a (W)ELS Northwest circuit congregation recently asked its pastor to lead them through a study of the NNIV 2011 and the differences between that and other translations the Pastor denied the request stating that there were far brighter people at Synod Headquarters who were capable of making the decision of which translation they should use.
The beatings by the clergy will continue until the Laity have had enough.
