Excerpt from Lincoln the Freethinker. In order to be a Christian it is necessary to believe the Bible to be a divinely inspired book. To be a Freethinker it is essential that you reject the Bible as a revelation from God. To determine, then, whether a person is a Christian or a Freethinker should indeed be very simple. A person may believe in God and yet reject the Bible as a divine book. Such a person; cannot be a Christian believer, but may be a Freethinker.. A person may believe in the Bible, and according to his particular interpretation be any one of the following divisional sects of Christianity: Catholic, Presbyterian, Methodist, Baptist. Episcopalian, Congregationalist, Seventh Day Adventist, Holy Roller or Holy Jumper.. About the Publisher. Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
