From this and other statements he made it seems that Albert was not far from the kingdom himself. Being Jewish, kind words concerning the Nazarene are not the unusal fare.I had to overcome my own misconceptions of who Jesus was. God was gracious to me and He opened my eyes so I could see Yeshua (Jesus in Hebrew) clearly. His grace is still quite amazing.

What we do know about Lincoln and the statements that can be validated, it is highly unlikely that he would denigrate the Bible or Christianity in that fashion.
