The video makes a great deal out the possible corruption of one word. Obviously the Christos is used many times in the NT. I doubt its use is generally corrupt.Gnostic Bishop wrote:I think it will read like the Chrestian literature used to read before Christianity got their hands on it.TEKennelly wrote:"The Jefferson Bible" is poorly named. It should be "The Jefferson Gospel" as it is a condensation and amalgamation of the four Gospel without any miracles and limited theology. It is an interesting read. It is rather short. I have been making way through it slowly over past two months or so. The text is only the Bible, although Jefferson might add a word or phrase in a few places to connect the narrative - I am not certain on this point.
They showed a Jesus the Good and a God the Good where both were just humans and not supernatural. I have not been able to proven it but think the old Chrestians were the first Gnostic Christians.

Gnosticism or gnostic tendencies seem to be in the Christian communities from nearly one. The Gospel of Thomas which might be as old as the four has a gnostic flavor.
