N.C. Sheriff Won’t Remove Bible Verse From Office, Tells FFRF He Is ‘Afraid of Burning in Hell’

December 27, 2021 by Staff

Columbus County Sheriff Jody Greene, who oversees the county’s 54,000 residents in North Carolina, has come under fire from the Freedom from Religion Foundation (FFRF) for displaying a Bible verse on the wall of the Sheriff’s Office.

The Bible verse Greene has displayed on the wall is Philippians 4:13, which says, “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.”

In a letter from FFRF on December 6, 2021, FFRF staff attorney Christopher Line expressed that this is the second time in less than a year that the FFRF has found a “constitutional violation” within the Columbus County Sheriff’s Office. The first, reported on January 26, 2021, was in regard to the Sheriff’s Office “promoting Christianity on its official Facebook page.”

According to Line, the sheriff never replied to the complaint, and the FFRF is still awaiting a response for the Sheriff’s Office posting “Merry Christmas to all and happy birthday to our Lord and Savior” to their Facebook page in 2020.
