Most would agree with you and Jefferson. By "most" I mean the majority. But for me, I'll go with what The Christ/Messiah has said about Himself.
Jefferson's main criticism of Christianity was of the "tricks" he believed had been played with the gospels over the centuries.
On this point, I believe he was right.
Tricks?? Jefferson went through many stages in life and he also wrote extensively about his thoughts. I must ask how a person could believe in Jesus as Messiah and really believe that the gospels have been "fixed". If you do not believe the 4 gospels you might as well though out the bible in it's entirety.
