    As Jon Meacham shows in his biography of Jefferson, he tried many times to pass laws to either end slavery or limit its spread, and they were never passed. There are letters he wrote lamenting on the matter. In the end, he gave up trying to fix it and believed it would be for future generations. Had he chosen to pursue and defend the end of slavery with as much passion as he did defend the rights of states vs a powerful central government and revolutionary French ideals, he would have achieved some things, as his voice and talent were clearly not fruitless. Even if he had failed, his voice would have been heard for future generations. And even if he had not tried, he could have applied it to his own personal life. That is a shame and condemnable. That been said, it's not fair to say he was a complete hypocrite and did nothing to end slavery. Human beings are complex and Jefferson is one fine example.

    It absolutely matters. Their personal relationship is THE central point. Not his position as a slave owner. He owned many slaves. But Sally Hemmings was special to him.

      No it really doesn't matter. The power dynamic of slave owner and slave must be at the forefront of any conversation about the sexual interaction between the two. She had no personal autonomy over her body. He held all the power. So the tabloidesque (to borrow from Mr. Burns) coverage of their "relationship" is wholly secondary to the fact that this was not a consensual relationship by any measure of the phrase.

      (Seekers and non-seekers are two different kinds of people today, and they are two kinds of people with two different destinies. Those who persist in the knowledge of the truth and practice the truth are the people whom God will save. Those who do not know the true way are demons and enemies; they are the descendants of the archangel and will be destroyed. People who have good consciences but do not accept the true way are devils; their essence is an opposition to God. Those who do not want to leave the world, who cannot be separated from their parents, who cannot rid themselves of their own fleshly pleasures are all disobedient to God and all will be destroyed. Anyone who does not believe in God incarnate is demonic; moreover, they will be destroyed. Anyone who can remain is a person who has undergone the bitterness of refinement and has stood firm; this is a man who has truly undergone trials. Who is Satan, who are the demons, and who are the enemies of God if not the opponents who do not believe in God? Aren't they the people who rebelled against God? Aren't they the people who only want blessings but are unable to witness to God? You can still have a good relationship with those demons today and emphasize with conscience and love these demons; is this not considered an extension of good intentions for Satan? Isn't this communication with demons? Anyone who does not believe in God incarnate is God's enemy. If you agree with those whom I hate and disapprove of and still emphasize love or your own feelings towards them, are you not rebellious? Are you not intentionally fighting God? These people will destroy everything.)

      Even the devout believers of a SHADOW GOD--aren't they DEMONS too? People who have good consciences BUT DO NOT ACCEPT the TRUE WAY are DEMONS; their essence is an opposition to God. Those who DO NOT ACCEPT the TRUE WAY are RESISTANT to GOD, and even if these people ENDURE many SUFFERINGS, they will still be DESTROYED. Those who DO NOT WANT to LEAVE the WORLD, who CANNOT REMOVE THEMSELVES from their own PLEASURE of the FLESH are all DISOBEDIENT against God and all will be DESTROYED. 😪
      Anyone who DOESN'T BELIEVE in God INCARNATE is like a demon; moreover, they will be destroyed. Those who believe BUT DO NOT PRACTICE the TRUTH, those who do NOT believe in God incarnate, and those who DO NOT even BELIEVE in the EXISTENCE of God will be DESTROYED. 😪

      Who is SATAN, who are the DEMONS, and who are the ENEMIES of God if NOT the RESISTERS who DO NOT BELIEVE in GOD? 🙏
      Aren't they the PEOPLE who DISOBEDIENT GOD? Aren't they the people who claim to BELIEVE BUT lack the truth? Aren't they the people who only want blessings but CANNOT WITNESS to God? You can still deal with those DEMONS now and give them conscience and love; Is this NOT considered an extension of good intentions for Satan? Isn't this considered COMMUNICATION with DEMONS? 😪🛑
      If PEOPLE STILL DON'T KNOW the DIFFERENCE of GOOD and EVIL today, and still close their eyes and emphasize love and mercy without any hope of FINDING God's WILL, and CANNOT DO it in any way to ACCEPT God's HEART as their own,the END of them ALL is more pitiful. 😪
      Anyone who DOES NOT BELIEVE in God in the FLESH is God's ENEMY. 🙏
      If you are emphasizing conscience and love for the ENEMY, isn't there a lack of CONSCIENCE in righteousness? If YOU agree with those whom I HATE and do NOT agree with, and still emphasize love or your own feelings towards them, are you not rebellious? 🙏🛑
      Aren't you deliberately FIGHTING GOD? Does a person like this possess the truth? If people emphasize conscience to enemies, emphasize love to DEMONS and emphasize mercy to SATAN, are they NOT deliberately disrupting GOD'S WORK? Those people who only BELIEVE in JESUS ​​and DO NOT BELIEVE in God INCARNATE in the LAST DAYS and those who say they believe in God incarnate BUT DO EVIL are all ANTICHRISTS, especially people who DO NOT BELIEVE to God. ☀️🙏
      These people will DESTROY EVERYTHING.

His Coming is the fulfillment of all that was prophesied in the great book of Revelation, so the last "Salvation" He brought the whole truth, the way for eternal life. So the "victorious" ones who will receive them are the wise "virgins" because as recorded in the prophecy of His return no one knows it except the one who will receive it!

    Dear Lord, is this problematic. Does Burns even listen to himself?
