Probably the most likely to provoke inflammatory reaction, as well and the most dangerous when questioned are the elements within this publication. These elements are; the definition and origin of God, religion, the Devil, and the relevance of the Holy Bible. Questioning these things through history has been cause for horrible torture, death, and/or financial ruin for countless of innocent and most likely moral and virtuous people.
But in spite of the danger, the author’s intention in writing this book is to point out a way for the religious congregations to loosen the inherited and engrained yoke of subjugation that sits on their necks, to explain what’s really going on the world of religion, and to help in the quest to keep the religious zealots and/or their illusive God(s) out of controlling or influencing the government of any country
When people or the clergy, priests, or ministers refer to the Bible, religion, or God, the reference almost always gets back to the things about Jesus that someone said He said that is written in the Bible. And now, because those things about Jesus in the Bible have become so muddled and made so indistinct and so craftily hidden, the laymen people must rely on what the clergy, priests, and ministers assume to find and interpret it for them-and very important, for a price.
During the end of the 1800s and the beginning of the 1900s, founding father Thomas Jefferson, over a 16 year period, salvaged the actual words of Jesus from the New Testament of the KJV of the Bible and then threw the remainder of that and the entire Old testament in the trash as he would have any other dross and dung. He named his compilation, The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth...
But the fanatics quickly high-jacked (pirated) this work and renamed it The Jefferson Bible so as NOT to take credibility away from the Bible. That book, the Bible is the corner-stone and basis for their wealth, power, and subjugating ideology. And now these same people are busy obliterating and hiding Jefferson’s real intent as they alter, revise, and copyright his words and work, just like the questionable followers of Jesus, Mohammed, and Martin Luther King Jr.’s have done and are still doing by muddling and hiding the real intent of these selfless Jesus-like philosophies.
This book, It Isn't The Jefferson Bible reveals the disciple who has really betrayed Jesus, and it wasn’t Judas. It also tells the truth about fear, subjugation, greed, prejudice, dogma, God, the Devil, organized religion, the so called The Jefferson Bible, and the Bible.
It also tells how the organized religion’s gods, their devils, and their Bible all originated and how they have evolved to be central to our way of life. And, now how all work together as allies to keep the subjugated congregations in line.
Special Notice, In the VERY likely event that the religious decide to burn me at the stake, and if you have purchased this book, you have a standing invitation to come watch the fireworks.
The origin and history of the earth’s religions
Imagine if you will a time shortly after the beginning, when a man either crawled out of the ocean or God, with his magical wand, raised him from the dust. Either way man probably became conscious of his surroundings and began noticing such things as lightning, wind, volcanoes, the sun; the changing of the seasons and this early man associated a higher power or even to them gods, in effect. These “powers or gods” were clung to and enhanced through the years and were handed off, as humans are prone to do, as facts and dogma to their posterity.
And then after God pulled a rib out of the chest of Adam and made a subservient being, He or She also took up this dogmatic calling however in a obedient role as "God" wished!
Finally this concept of the cave people’s gods reached Abraham (of the Bible) and he refined and added his own opinion and ideology. And then just as the cave people had struggled for answers to things that they didn’t understand, Abraham and his contemporaries struggled too and made up gods and beings that in a way provided some more answers. But as people all have different opinions, these standards for the gods broke up into many separate beliefs. The prominent ones became the Jewish, Islam, and Pagan ideologies but there were undoubtedly more. (Yeah, Islam didn’t begin with Mohammad; they--just like all religions, had been fighting and killed each other a long time before him.)
The Jewish religion became the prominent religion with the Islam and Pagans contesting for second place and with many others including Wicca’s also competing in the wings of the stage of humanity.
The Apostle Paul was the person who brought humanity the concept of Christianity and the one who most concealed and defamed the real philosophy of Jesus, (where ever that came from) but he was probably also the reason that we, to day, even know that Jesus, or the illusion of Jesus’ philosophy, even existed and about his now nearly obscured pure and perfectly moral way to live.
40 years after religions historical death of Jesus, Saul—who became better known as The Apostle Paul—while traveling along the road to Damascus,
claimed having a vision about Jesus. (If you are inclined to believe about visions then this may have been true.) Then from the scrapes and pieces of folk lure he, Paul, had heard about Jesus and also using his own imagination, he (Paul) fabricated a selfless, perfect, and moral way to live based on the true philosophy of Jesus--or the illusion of a Jesus.
But alas--because people were and are prone to NOT do anything unless they are paid or frightened into it Paul’s new religion didn’t ever get off the ground, it couldn’t even compete with the dominant and entrenched Jewish, Islam, or Pagan religions of the time. The religions of the time were mostly just based on parents passing these things on to their children about the rewards and punishemnents and quite forign from the new revised religion that Jesus trid to teach about. This was a way of life that would be completely selfless, filled with tolerence, Love and charity.
Paul’s new religion, maybe it could be called religion, was a pretty selfless, moral way to live, but it pretty much failed because it had no profit motive or real selfish reason for a selfish human to make this much sacrifice and get no monitay or intrincic reward. But based on the philosophy of Jesus t was simply the right way to live and its reward was in just in doing it!
So in order to get more people to enlist and adhere and to be more ambitious and cause more people to find the “narrow gate”, he, Paul, invented a sophisticated and intricate machine filled with illusive rewards and punishments that would eventually enslave much of mankind but would in turn promise to lead to their own individual an illusive salvation. This illusive facade of a Jesus being crucified and dying on the cross for the benefit and salvation of all humanity if they would only accept, pay tithe, and support this ideology--this ruse became the first concept of a false Jesus Christianity.
Then about like perpetual motion; it propagated itself from the parents into the innocent minds of their offspring the things that had been instilled into their own innocent minds since birth. Then demons and evils were added and enhanced and even a hell where the disobedient would dwell for eternity to bring a more urgent reason to belong to this concept.
This new “religion” invented by Paul had many of the same ingredients as the Jewish, Islam, and Pagan religions had, because it made recruitment much easier if the converts didn’t need to change very much. Then Paul further enhanced it to be filled with fearful more demons and even built on the fear of losing ones soul and even the souls of their children and going to an illusive hell. It for the most part hid or at least minimized the righteous and selfless based philosophy of the real Jesus or the illusion of a real Jesus. This through the years has turned him, the image of Jesus, into a seemingly gentle but ruthless and mindless tyrant bent on getting the money of the unwary through fear and deceit. It was and is Paul’s Christian concept of Jesus that today prevails in all of the world’s religions and is most certainly a false concept of the real or illusive Jesus philosophy!
Then just before the death of Paul, this concept was handed off to the Emperor of Rome, Constantine (a Pagan from birth) and he; Constantine groomed it further into a perfect tool to subjugate the masses of Rome, it was so successful to regulate and control the people and receive their tribute that it, for the most part, took the place of the dreadful dungeons, torture chamber, and guillotines and even replaced the tax collectors of Rome to make people mindlessly and willingly obey and pay tribute. It’s about like all religions do today. Eventually this distorted religion that was falsely attributed to Jesus pretty much took over as the prime religion of Rome.
It is this concept that rose and crept out of the ashes of Rome when Rome was destroyed and it is this concept that has become most of the churches that exist today in all of their forms and distinctions.
This concept in capsule form was and is to accept an illusive false Jesus as a personal savior and be saved into heaven or lose your soul and dwell eternally in that frightful Hell if a person rejected it.
But to Paul’s credit, if he hadn’t made it such, i. e. frighten people into believing and writing ridiculous things, all evidence of Jesus would have more than likely been lost and forgotten.
But for as much harm that Paul and Constantine did to the real philosophy of the real Jesus and to create so much deceit and wickedness that has created ridiculous institutions called Christian religions, they also made it possible that some of the philosophy of Jesus was carried onto posterity—deeply hidden in the depths and trash of most of the Bible and other hypocrisy, but it’s there deeply hidden nonetheless. It just needs to be screened out from the New Testament.
As Thomas Jefferson said, “What is it that man cannot be made to believe?”
Jesus wasn’t a Christian; he founded a new way to live and to be happy. He was more than likely a Jew and maybe leaned toward a Paganistic persuasion. But he had a new way to live, a selfless, perfect, and moral way that would bring contentment and happiness.
The Christian religion came along at least a hundred years after Jesus died and contained little of the true philosophy of Jesus and has through these thousands of year been butchered unmercifully even more. But it, Christianity as we know it, came along in all of its glory about 1,000 years after Jesus when the Bible was canonized-the New Testament was added that in effect
even further hid any philosophy of Jesus.
(Just as a note; the claim that the Mormons got their authority by going back to the time of Rome, would be more convincing, if they had gone back to the time of Jesus instead of to the time after The Apostle Paul had discredited and discounted all most all of the philosophy of Jesus! The Mormon religion almost exactly and in general mirrors the other earthly so called Christian religions.)
Then shortly after Paul's original Christian religion surfaced also did the
Islam religion as we now know it with the awakening of Mohammed and the age-old Islamic religion was modified and updated. The Quran was strongly influenced by the Bible as well as Mohammad's Moslem religion strongly influenced by Paul's Christian religion.
And there is not too much difference between the Christian, Moslem, and Jewish religions that all came from the teaching and concept of Abraham and then before that, from the ideology that the cave people invented. You know the god concept of the thunder, wind, sun, and earthquake gods. And in contemporary times we as a world culture are adding more gods—the money god, the sports god, and on and on. The gods just like the religions seem to feed on themselves and the other religions. They all indeed use the Bible or parts of the Bible as their gospel. They believe in varying degrees about Jesus and the virgin birth. They all believe in a savior coming to save the world. They all believe in the war in heaven and the expulsion of Satan and his fallen angels. They have their own view of going to heaven through their obedience or to hell because of their disobedience. All pretty much based on the opinion of Abraham and his posterity.
But to make it all even more ridiculous and amazing, every person, even the ones who proclaim to be of the same faith, have different views of it. They all believe somewhat differently—some beliefs are in sharp contrast, some are more near the same—but all different just the same. Some in opposing religions are probably closer to each other than they are to some who are supposed in the same religion!
In the future it is likely there will be more sects of religion that spring up, but in all honesty, money and fear and not so much morality or justice drives all of them. The Apostle Paul probably started out as a meek sincere and noble but time remote disciple of Jesus, but then forgot about the…narrow is the gate thing…and went for volume, wealth, and notoriety instead of truth, obscurity, and quality But also realistically, it is more than likely this false ideology that contains just a sprinkling of Jesus philosophy that drives humanity to be as good as it is.
Maybe this is what old Ben Franklin meant when he said, “If man is so wicked with religion, how wicked would he be without it?”
