the ‘Truth’ Behind Thomas Jefferson’s Controversial ‘Jefferson Bible’
Not that leftists will care about truth.
"Many historians have made the case that Jefferson was not a Christian, therefore removed all verses that suggested the supernatural or divine nature of Jesus Christ, a theory that is widely accepted."
"“People always say, ‘Well, that’s where he cut out all the miracles.’ Really? Well, he’s got raising the dead in there, he’s got healing the sick, he’s got casting out devils in there, he’s got resurrection in there,” Barton told Beck.
Barton says Jefferson made the original 1804 version, which was titled ”The Philosophy of the Jesus of Nazareth,” as an evangelistic tool in order to spread the Christian gospel among the Indians."
"As for Jefferson’s second version, titled “The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth,” Barton says the founder created it in 1820 in order to compare the moral teachings of Jesus to that of the many scholars he had studied."
“'So what he decides he’s going to take the moral teachings of Jesus and show how superior they are to all the moral teachings of the world,' Barton said.
Barton went on to tell Beck that Jefferson’s 1820 version, which he says contains “81 moral teachings of Jesus,” was then offered to all of Congress in order to avoid “trouble with corruption.”"
Offered to all of Congress. Imagine the outcry in our Godless, anti-Christian country today.
A good interview. Worth the watch.
