The reason is this: Thomas Jefferson was a Unitarian; he did not believe in trinity and the divinity of Jesus. Instead, Jefferson saw Jesus as a great teacher and a man of righteousness (look at: The Life of Jesus by Thomas Jefferson). He also believed that Jesus never claim that he is the son of God, nor his first followers. Paul, in the other hand, invented all the idea of trinity, resurrection, salvation etc... In other words, he founded what become known as "Pauline Christianity", which had become the dominant group of Christendom for a long time. Jefferson believed that the doctrines of Pauline Christianity contradict with the doctrines of Jesus himself. Thus, Paul was the "first corrupter of the doctrines of Jesus".

Thomas Jefferson, the third President of the United States, believed that Jesus had taught some of the greatest moral principles, but that the four evangelists had added false stories of miracles and claims that Jesus was divine. He sought to promote the morals of the ancient philosophers, Jewish ethics and the teachings of Jesus. Jefferson edited the four Gospels to produce a thin book that is now called "The Jefferson Bible", literally creating it with a razor and paste. This included the philosophical and moral teachings of Jesus but omitted all claims to miracles or to his divinity.
