Sola Scriptura: No Scissors Allowed

In the early 1800s, Thomas Jefferson did something shocking. He sat down with copies of the New Testament, a razor, and some glue. He literally cut out the parts of the Gospels he didn't like. He removed the miracles, the supernatural claims, and the resurrection, pasting together a heavily edited version of Jesus that fit his own personal philosophy. We might hear that and be shocked at the arrogance of taking a blade to the Bible. But before we judge him too harshly, we have to ask ourselves a difficult question: Do we do the exact same thing, just without the razor?
