James, brother of Jesus

The God Jesus called "Father" was always the God of Abraham.

But Abraham did not pray to the God of Jesus.

For two thousand years, Christians have apologized for two things that don't survive a careful reading of Jesus: the violence attributed to God in the Old Testament, and the bloodshed of God's "chosen people." We're done apologizing.

This channel teaches the New Testament on its own terms — narrated by an AI character we call James, his brother. Faceless. Honest. Not for sale to any political tribe.

What we do

NT Only runs five interlocking series: a wedge case for separating the two pictures of God across the Testaments, a chronicle of every recoverable week of Jesus's three-year ministry, a study of his lost years through the gnostic gospels, a season covering the twenty days between resurrection and ascension, and a children's cartoon teaching the same wisdom through young Jesus's friendships.

"He gave everything he owned. He lived in abundance, not scarcity. He wished harm on no one. He forgave thieves and prostitutes. He included Samaritans, Romans, Gentiles. He healed and taught. No one in recorded history came closer to embodied love."

We are not against Christianity. We are against the inheritance of a tribal, vengeful, conquest-justifying portrait of God that two millennia of preachers handed down without examination. The God was always love. The humans got the picture wrong for thousands of years. Jesus came to correct it.

Jesus Quoted Deuteronomy 3 Times. Watch What He Skipped.

Series 1, Episode 1 · 9 min

Jesus had the entire Old Testament memorized. One book — he quoted three times. All defensive. All in the wilderness. When he taught what God's love is like? He skipped it.

The mission, eventually

What good is teaching love if it stays words? When this channel earns enough through Patreon and supporters to do more than cover production, the surplus goes to those Jesus called blessed — the poor, the helpless, the sick, and the ones who stay grateful and optimistic despite how evil the world can be. The "unchosen" by the world, always chosen by him.

We're not there yet. The mission page describes the vision; the live giving will happen once we have something to give. Until then, Patreon support keeps the channel running.
