The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth – Thomas Jefferson

We all know Thomas Jefferson to be one of the Founding Fathers of the United States, co-author of the Declaration of Independence and third President of the US. He was a man with many talents and many views. Jefferson was a scholar theology, biblical studies and Christian belief. He probably was a Deist and his religious views differed much from his contemporaries.
Thomas Jefferson thought the moral philosophies of Jesus were the best in the world and he decided to write his vision of the “Christian System”. From this came the Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth, also known as the “Jefferson Bible”. This book can be found here or, if you prefer to read it online, here.
In his book Jefferson merges together the four canonical gospels in chronological order to describe the life of Jesus Christ. Jefferson’s biggest edit, however, is the removal of any reference to the supernatural found in the gospels and he focuses on the teachings of Jesus. Jefferson wanted the New Testament to be free of the “the corruptions of reason among the ancients”, by which he implied the deliberate additions of supernatural events to Jesus’ life by Evangelists. The story removes the doctrine and becomes a very interesting read for free-thinkers.
The Jefferson Bible is an intimate look into Jefferson’s belief and spirituality. Although he still believed God to be the Ultimate Creator he sees Jesus as the greatest moral philosopher. By removing the “groundwork of vulgar ignorance, of things impossible, of superstitions, fanaticisms and fabrications” one can concentrate more on the sayings of Jesus, rather than his divinity. This was for my family one of the most important influences for pursuing Christian atheism, (others pursued Jeffersonian Christianity).
The Jefferson Bible ends with Jesus’ burial in his tomb after his crucifixion. I find this a more monumental event than the Resurrection, which has been left out by Jefferson. It affirms the humanistic spirit of the book. The mortality of Jesus sends us a message from a person who is not the Decider on your Day of Judgment, but from a human being.

The book of Revelation states if you add or subtract anything from the book you will be cursed with all the plagues in the book.
There is no salvation without the resurrection of Christ which he completely omits. He was a “salad bar” Christian that picked out what he did not believe which is idolatry. Creating a God that suits you and creating your own false gospel.
Write this up into an ebook or something… this stuff is Gold!
