The first time to come across the Jefferson Bible's noteworthy passages, the third president gets my respect as he seems to have threaded the needle and translated the spirit in which the Bible comes to life, itself resurrection from the dusty far reaches of the library.

If you are reading this, please know that God does not need a middleman or an authority figure to reach you. A true relationship with God is a direct one, not a relationship by proxy through another. Those who proclaim to speak for God are deluded. He speaks well enough without their help. God's message is simple, humble, and intensely personal. He needs no translators, no explainers, no clarifiers. Cast aside anyone proclaiming to speak for God, they only speak for themselves.
I agree with Martin Luther only on this. Otherwise, I find Martin Luther to be absurd in his beliefs. He believed that salvation came ONLY through a belief in Christ and not through good works or moral behavior. He also believed that the Bible is the highest authority. I know in my heart Christ would reject someone who proclaimed Him as savior but refused to otherwise try to lead a righteous life. Christ himself said that the Bible and "the law" may say something, but the true spirit of living God's law is more important that narrowly and dogmatically following biblical text.@@persevere4
Note: This isn't JUST Jefferson's abridgement of the Gospels, this also includes a forward containing opinions that were not endorsed by the founding father.
At 12:40 minutes into this, chapter 1 (one) of President efferson's writings from the four Gospels begin. I read very much on our 3rd president, he a very big favorite of mine. I also read the finest bio of Dr. Benamin Rush who is one of the Founding Fathers and personal friend to our early presidents and also Benamin Rush was a Christian of the Reformed faith in the tradition of another close friend of Franklins and others too...the Reverend George Whitefield. Benamin Franklin used his publishing house, or printing paper press to print many of Whitefield's sermons or messages for all those who came to hear him, as the minister was ministering to the needy, etc. (I am missing one letter, as you see, from my pc; I am sorry.) I must read efferson's copy of the Gospels again, it being some time since I read it. The 3rd leader of our nation surely wrote and said things to many that leads me to wonder if he was a believer in esus. It's true efferson had problems re esus' miracles, etc, but he gave a Bible to each child of his when they were born, the King ames 1611 translation was, and is to this day, the most purchased Bible in our land. Some do not like the "thees and thous, etc," but I think the most easy to read with its shorter sentences and pithy and concise words and it flows so well as you read along (Elizabethan English was what Shakespeare read, spoke and wrote.) Sadly, except for daughter Martha, they all died early on I believe. He loved his wife very much and never remarried after he told his (then a young, beautiful wife that he would never marry if she died)...and I believe as many, that he should have remarried. He was a man who needed a wife and companion badly and though he sorrowed very, very much in life, no doubt a hopeless romantic, he was intensely busy in govt. and in his ever working on his wonderful Monticello. Never have I seen/heard of such a man with such incredible energy and was Governor of VA, Ambassador to France w/Franklin, Secretary of State for Washington, VP for Adams and President two terms. I have read early American history for over 65 years since an 8 year old child and it the most interesting time that I find. Please forgive my harrangue here. I love so much about that time period. (For the one, or any, that seeks a readable set of the Gospels...simply get a Bible,) the ESV translation) or called the English Standard Version of 2002 (?) it is very much as the King ames, only "you, your, etc" instead of the (I believe beautiful Elisabethen English.

Hardly. He was an enlightenment thinker attempting to reason both religion and science. I think Jefferson was more of a no nonsense deist but he tried to create a bible that made Jesus more of a teacher whose teachings you could follow however you see fit, akin to what happened to the Buddha.
Why can't Religion make sense? Thomas Jefferson gives it sense without all the nonsense that, Paul, in particular brought to it, as well as other. Paul comes along some 10 years later, after Jesus' crucifixion. Who is this man? Why should we believe him? He actually contradicts Jesus' emphasis on "works". Paul says: Now "Ephesians 2:8-9 completely contradicts James and Matthew (sheep & Goats). Ephesians is Paul.8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- 9 not by works, so that no one can boast." Christianity, because of this lack of "works" has enabled Christianity to be essentially barbaric. It has, through out its history burned people at the stake for just having a different interpretation or being different. The more you make a religion "elusive", the more people will misinterpret it. Jesus made it down to Earth and based it on your works. You will reap what you sowe. In the Parable of the sheep and Goats, Jesus makes it clear that the sheep on my right gave me food to eat and water to drink. I was a stranger and you took me in. I was naked and you clothed me. I was sick and you visited me. I was in prison and you came to me. Then the Goats on the left said Lord when did we see you hungry, thirsty. When did we see you as a stranger and take you in or naked. When we see you sick and in prison. Jesus answered them “because you did it for the least of my brothers, you did it for me. Then he will say those Goats on the left hand, depart from me, you are cursed, into the eternal hellfire.
Miracles happen everyday. It’s a miracle any of us are here. Taking out the mythology still leaves Christ a good man, and one we can relate to in order to emulate his teachings through this scary thing called life ✌🏻
This is my final comment on this video, Thomas Jefferson denies the Apostle Paul's apostleship, Paul makes it clear if anyone denies his apostleship and denies his gospel that he preaches you are to have nothing to do with them, on top of this Jefferson was a Freemason he believed in unifying all people together, Jefferson was a gnostic he was a humanist and he admits to this, he preaches Jesus Christ but ignores all context of Jesus he ignores the fact that according to First Timothy Paul was Major pattern Paul was the first member of the body of Christ but Thomas Jefferson ignored this, because there's a lot of people today just as there was back then who denied Paul's apostleship and these people are dangerous they remind me of the Society of Jesus this is an old Cult of Jesus worshipers who worship Jesus but have no doctoral understanding of why he came they strip him down to his morals and they love him because of his morality because you can see obviously in Jefferson's writings he didn't even value Jesus he was only using him and his words to bolster his own humanistic way of thinking, and that's really the truth here Jefferson was a humanist just as all of them, humanism is evil plain and simple I'm not going to argue this it is straight up and evil belief system but Jefferson supported humanism I would not be so foolish as to take anything Jefferson says seriously the man was not what he appeared but again most of America's history is falsified and stretched, this is an evil country, that plays a giant Masquerade with the truth it manipulates everybody through a sense of morals and Dogma which is why you have so many groups claiming to be Christian but none of them believe the Bible they just use it as a means to an end, there's a Bible series called things in the Bible we were taught wrong I wish I could have given it to Jefferson I wish I could sit down with him and go over Doctrine with him but knowing the fact he is a Freemason and the Freemasons committed the Armenian genocide of 1.5 million Armenians, and orchestrated the French Revolution as well as many other civil wars and revolutions it doesn't surprise me because the Freemasons claim to stand for freedom but they don't, they've never been an organization of Freedom it's all about control they are control freaks they believe themselves to be chosen by God but again anyone who doesn't see the truth Before Their Eyes just look at our money, look at the fact there's a giant Obelisk sitting in Washington DC the layout of Washington is that of the occult the buildings have a cultic symbols everywhere in front of our Treasury there is a giant bull the bowl is a symbol of luciferianism, we have the Bohemian Grove which ex-presidents in members of State all congregate at which the Bible warns of the worshipers of the Grove The Groves are those of the ancient pagans the ancient Celtics, but again there's a lot to go over here but putting this aside Jefferson is not what he appears to be just like Lincoln is not in emancipator Lincoln was a tyrant who invaded his own country gave citizenship to blacks Irish Scottish Asian immigrants in order to fight in his military against the southerners the whole point of the war was over tariffs, but again the victors of History write the history books, in my opinion Jefferson was a lunatic,
i may not yet know about this cult you speak of (i will reserch it later ) but i do know that the bible that jefferson made was sliced up so anyone could read the most important part of the bible and know about jesus and what hes done for them
@@jamesseven6655 okay please excuse my writing I'm talking into a phone the Freemasons are humanist cult they believe in humanism Enlightenment through knowledge and wisdom which somewhat I agree with I believe you can't be overly superstitious or manipulated by this nonsense. Which is overly religious. But according to Albert Pike book morals and Dogma the Freemasons created false religions they use religion as a means to manipulate you through a system of morals and Dogma. So you see Thomas Jefferson believed that the Bible was morally superior but he denied Paul's apostleship he denied the gospel which is faith without works Jefferson totally denied this meaning Jefferson denies the gospel. Which makes him an enemy of the cross. Now I will praise Jefferson on one thing and that is the fact that he believed the separation of church and state he believed that religion was more pure separate from state which is true because the state should not be controlled by a religious and I mean religious people. Christians are not religious we are Faith We believe We Trust alone in the finished work of Christ we don't trust in any physical work or lifestyle to get us to heaven. We Trust alone in the finished work of Christ now in time past the Jews when they died after following the law of Moses witches Works in faith they didn't go to heaven they went to a place called Abraham's bosom. So this notion that everyone was saved in the entire Bible the same way you were looking forward to the Cross you were looking back to the Cross as a means for salvation that's just total BS
@@jamesseven6655 the United States is not supposed to be a religious country in that religious people control it. The nation is supposed to be controlled by humanist these humanist control the system through a system of morals and Dogma they control everyone through a system of morality by manipulating individuals through a system of morality that can better control the individual outcome this is why you have a right left party the left claims to be Progressive and liberal while the right tends to be more conservative but in reality they're both working to the same ends controlling you to our system of morals and Dogma they create religious superstitious people and then control them through morals and Dogma it's modern-day sorcery that's all it is
This is the most outrageous book ever wrote about Jesus he's taking gods only son on Earth taking all the supernatural things away calling it Christian this is blasphemy in the highest form
@Anton ego it doesn't matter to me. I'm not upset like Eric was. It's just funny to me that people get upset just because someone dared to write their own version of the bible.
@@Spuzaw To me it's a show of how shaky one's faith is & how unfocused their life is to be throwing tantrums over someone else's doubt about Jesus' divinity. If Jefferson were alive today, I could convince him he was wrong. That's how sure I am of Jesus' divinity. No one's doubt bothers me bc A) first and foremost, their own relationship to God is their business, not mine, and 2) given the opportunity (ie, if it *was* my business) I know I could convince them with a more elegant line of thought than they used to arrive at their doubt. I also find this idea of Jefferson's very useful as an entry point for atheists into the faith, and to overlook that utility and express nothing but outrage that it's "blasphemy" is really telling on yourself - it's saying that your "faith" is really just a matter of being holier-than-thou (vanity), rather than reaching people's hearts to build community.
@@nataliaturner4845 You make some really great points. I especially agree that people's relationship to God is their business and no one else's. The only thing we disagree on is that you're religious and I'm agnostic. And I'm pretty confident that my views on religion aren't changing any time soon. But I guess you never know haha
@@Spuzaw Yeah, it's weird how I came to it bc as a kid I always had a running dialogue in my head with "God", but I wasn't raised in a religion (my family was originally catholic, but by the time I was born my dad had sort of turned his back on the organized aspect of it, so he mainly just guided my imagination/thinking/moral reasoning, but w/out indoctrinating me into anything). And then by the time my kiddo was born, I was sure that Jesus was a righteous person (kiddos name is "Christian") but it still took more time to come around to the whole thing, and even just last week I had a weird epiphany about it after discovering a 19th Scottish children's fantasy writer, George MacDonald (for me imagination has always been a sacred thing, going all the way back to my childhood, and MacDonald has a way of articulating it that resonates w/me - similar to William Blake). So yeah, maybe it's a little cocky to say I could convince Thomas Jefferson about Jesus lol (I still think it would be easier if he lived today, than if I were to go back in time, just bc we know so much more about everything today than they did back then) especially bc I think real faith is something that takes a lot of time. At least for me that's been the case. It's something that has unfolded over time, and I love that feeling of growth and always something look forward to & discover, even when life isn't working out like I wanted. It feels like someone who really knows me and wants the best for me is in charge, and for me faith is about putting my trust in that, and in turn, becoming someone God can trust, as well (a real relationship that makes you feel like you matter, even if your life isn't that special by society's standards - and for now I get that without belonging to any kind of religious group, tho I hope someday I do find a group bc life is just better when you can break that spiritual bread w/others, and bc building community around "agape" was the whole idea).

Paul says: Now "Ephesians 2:8-9 completely contradicts James and Matthew (sheep & Goats). Ephesians is Paul.8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- 9 not by works, so that no one can boast."
Christianity, because of this lack of "works" has enabled Christianity to be essentially barbaric. It has, through out its history burned people at the stake for just having a different interpretation or being different. The more you make a religion "elusive", the more people will misinterpret it. Jesus made it down to Earth and based it on your works. You will reap what you sowe.
In the Parable of the sheep and Goats, Jesus makes it clear that the sheep on my right gave me food to eat and water to drink. I was a stranger and you took me in. I was naked and you clothed me. I was sick and you visited me. I was in prison and you came to me. Then the Goats on the left said Lord when did we see you hungry, thirsty. When did we see you as a stranger and take you in or naked. When we see you sick and in prison.
Jesus answered them “because you did it for the least of my brothers, you did it for me. Then he will say those Goats on the left hand, depart from me, you are cursed, into the eternal hellfire.
@Elijah Ellington Jesus had a lot of good things to say but it's like he's kept hostage in the Bible
Miracles happen everyday. It’s a miracle any of us are here. Taking out the mythology still leaves Christ a good man, and one we can relate to in order to emulate his teachings through this scary thing called life ✌🏻
Idisagree.
whaAAA
Humanism is not evil. Trans-humanism is though
This is my final comment on this video, Thomas Jefferson denies the Apostle Paul's apostleship, Paul makes it clear if anyone denies his apostleship and denies his gospel that he preaches you are to have nothing to do with them, on top of this Jefferson was a Freemason he believed in unifying all people together, Jefferson was a gnostic he was a humanist and he admits to this, he preaches Jesus Christ but ignores all context of Jesus he ignores the fact that according to First Timothy Paul was Major pattern Paul was the first member of the body of Christ but Thomas Jefferson ignored this, because there's a lot of people today just as there was back then who denied Paul's apostleship and these people are dangerous they remind me of the Society of Jesus this is an old Cult of Jesus worshipers who worship Jesus but have no doctoral understanding of why he came they strip him down to his morals and they love him because of his morality because you can see obviously in Jefferson's writings he didn't even value Jesus he was only using him and his words to bolster his own humanistic way of thinking, and that's really the truth here Jefferson was a humanist just as all of them, humanism is evil plain and simple I'm not going to argue this it is straight up and evil belief system but Jefferson supported humanism I would not be so foolish as to take anything Jefferson says seriously the man was not what he appeared but again most of America's history is falsified and stretched, this is an evil country, that plays a giant Masquerade with the truth it manipulates everybody through a sense of morals and Dogma which is why you have so many groups claiming to be Christian but none of them believe the Bible they just use it as a means to an end, there's a Bible series called things in the Bible we were taught wrong I wish I could have given it to Jefferson I wish I could sit down with him and go over Doctrine with him but knowing the fact he is a Freemason and the Freemasons committed the Armenian genocide of 1.5 million Armenians, and orchestrated the French Revolution as well as many other civil wars and revolutions it doesn't surprise me because the Freemasons claim to stand for freedom but they don't, they've never been an organization of Freedom it's all about control they are control freaks they believe themselves to be chosen by God but again anyone who doesn't see the truth Before Their Eyes just look at our money, look at the fact there's a giant Obelisk sitting in Washington DC the layout of Washington is that of the occult the buildings have a cultic symbols everywhere in front of our Treasury there is a giant bull the bowl is a symbol of luciferianism, we have the Bohemian Grove which ex-presidents in members of State all congregate at which the Bible warns of the worshipers of the Grove The Groves are those of the ancient pagans the ancient Celtics, but again there's a lot to go over here but putting this aside Jefferson is not what he appears to be just like Lincoln is not in emancipator Lincoln was a tyrant who invaded his own country gave citizenship to blacks Irish Scottish Asian immigrants in order to fight in his military against the southerners the whole point of the war was over tariffs, but again the victors of History write the history books, in my opinion Jefferson was a lunatic,
As a Paul, I've been sincerely lost in this ramble. Split paragraphs.
i may not yet know about this cult you speak of (i will reserch it later ) but i do know that the bible that jefferson made was sliced up so anyone could read the most important part of the bible and know about jesus and what hes done for them
@@jamesseven6655 okay please excuse my writing I'm talking into a phone the Freemasons are humanist cult they believe in humanism Enlightenment through knowledge and wisdom which somewhat I agree with I believe you can't be overly superstitious or manipulated by this nonsense. Which is overly religious. But according to Albert Pike book morals and Dogma the Freemasons created false religions they use religion as a means to manipulate you through a system of morals and Dogma. So you see Thomas Jefferson believed that the Bible was morally superior but he denied Paul's apostleship he denied the gospel which is faith without works Jefferson totally denied this meaning Jefferson denies the gospel. Which makes him an enemy of the cross. Now I will praise Jefferson on one thing and that is the fact that he believed the separation of church and state he believed that religion was more pure separate from state which is true because the state should not be controlled by a religious and I mean religious people. Christians are not religious we are Faith We believe We Trust alone in the finished work of Christ we don't trust in any physical work or lifestyle to get us to heaven. We Trust alone in the finished work of Christ now in time past the Jews when they died after following the law of Moses witches Works in faith they didn't go to heaven they went to a place called Abraham's bosom. So this notion that everyone was saved in the entire Bible the same way you were looking forward to the Cross you were looking back to the Cross as a means for salvation that's just total BS
@@jamesseven6655 the United States is not supposed to be a religious country in that religious people control it. The nation is supposed to be controlled by humanist these humanist control the system through a system of morals and Dogma they control everyone through a system of morality by manipulating individuals through a system of morality that can better control the individual outcome this is why you have a right left party the left claims to be Progressive and liberal while the right tends to be more conservative but in reality they're both working to the same ends controlling you to our system of morals and Dogma they create religious superstitious people and then control them through morals and Dogma it's modern-day sorcery that's all it is
This is the most outrageous book ever wrote about Jesus he's taking gods only son on Earth taking all the supernatural things away calling it Christian this is blasphemy in the highest form
This just a person's opinion. Why does it matter so much to you?
@Anton ego it doesn't matter to me. I'm not upset like Eric was.
It's just funny to me that people get upset just because someone dared to write their own version of the bible.
@@Spuzaw To me it's a show of how shaky one's faith is & how unfocused their life is to be throwing tantrums over someone else's doubt about Jesus' divinity. If Jefferson were alive today, I could convince him he was wrong. That's how sure I am of Jesus' divinity. No one's doubt bothers me bc A) first and foremost, their own relationship to God is their business, not mine, and 2) given the opportunity (ie, if it *was* my business) I know I could convince them with a more elegant line of thought than they used to arrive at their doubt.
I also find this idea of Jefferson's very useful as an entry point for atheists into the faith, and to overlook that utility and express nothing but outrage that it's "blasphemy" is really telling on yourself - it's saying that your "faith" is really just a matter of being holier-than-thou (vanity), rather than reaching people's hearts to build community.
@@nataliaturner4845 You make some really great points. I especially agree that people's relationship to God is their business and no one else's.
The only thing we disagree on is that you're religious and I'm agnostic. And I'm pretty confident that my views on religion aren't changing any time soon. But I guess you never know haha
@@Spuzaw Yeah, it's weird how I came to it bc as a kid I always had a running dialogue in my head with "God", but I wasn't raised in a religion (my family was originally catholic, but by the time I was born my dad had sort of turned his back on the organized aspect of it, so he mainly just guided my imagination/thinking/moral reasoning, but w/out indoctrinating me into anything).
And then by the time my kiddo was born, I was sure that Jesus was a righteous person (kiddos name is "Christian") but it still took more time to come around to the whole thing, and even just last week I had a weird epiphany about it after discovering a 19th Scottish children's fantasy writer, George MacDonald (for me imagination has always been a sacred thing, going all the way back to my childhood, and MacDonald has a way of articulating it that resonates w/me - similar to William Blake).
So yeah, maybe it's a little cocky to say I could convince Thomas Jefferson about Jesus lol (I still think it would be easier if he lived today, than if I were to go back in time, just bc we know so much more about everything today than they did back then) especially bc I think real faith is something that takes a lot of time.
At least for me that's been the case. It's something that has unfolded over time, and I love that feeling of growth and always something look forward to & discover, even when life isn't working out like I wanted. It feels like someone who really knows me and wants the best for me is in charge, and for me faith is about putting my trust in that, and in turn, becoming someone God can trust, as well (a real relationship that makes you feel like you matter, even if your life isn't that special by society's standards - and for now I get that without belonging to any kind of religious group, tho I hope someday I do find a group bc life is just better when you can break that spiritual bread w/others, and bc building community around "agape" was the whole idea).
