John 17:17 Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth.

Today’s biblical translations of what Jesus said are written to satisfy the needs of Christian preachers. However, modern Christianity has accumulated ideas over two thousand years that were not part of Jesus’s teaching. I write these article for those like who want Jesus’s ideas unfiltered by two thousand years of battles over dogma. If you want to get back to how Jesus was heard by the first generation of Christians, this is the best place for you to be.

I cannot teach you everything that I have learned about Jesus’s words (and the ancient Greek in which he taught) in a moment. I offer only one small portion of a time. A lot of these bites are great fun because Jesus’s words are great fun. Those people who heard him speak in his time came because he was very entertaining, more entertaining that the greatest preachers of our or any other era. Unfortunately, must of his humor, drama, and wordplay are edited out of modern translations for the sake of “the message.”
