God

Shawn's teaching emphasizes the importance of being spiritually prepared to stand before God, highlighting that worldly achievements, denominational affiliations, and good deeds are irrelevant at that moment, and only one's spiritual condition—rebellious, terrified, or joyful—will matter. He contrasts Christian beliefs with those of Latter-day Saints, specifically noting the latter's unique view of God as a tangible, physical Father, stemming from Joseph Smith's teachings.

The Mormon belief about God contrasts sharply with traditional Christian views; they believe in a corporeal God who is limited, was once a man, and procreated all humans as spirit children with a Heavenly Mother, emphasizing a familial and loving relationship without the need for intercession. In contrast, Christian theology, as interpreted through the Bible, depicts God as omnipotent and omnipresent, underscored by the vastness and intricacies of the universe, highlighting God's infinite power, majesty, and brilliance.

Shawn emphasizes that, according to biblical scripture, God is a spirit, a consuming fire, and not a man, challenging the belief that God was once a man with a physical body. He underscores God's omnipotence by asserting that all things are possible with God, contrasting it with the view that God has limitations, and warns of the fearful reverence owed to the Christian God as depicted in the Bible.

Shawn's teaching emphasizes the biblical view that individuals are not automatically considered children of God; they must be born-again and accepted through faith in Jesus Christ to become God's children. This relationship is marked by spiritual adoption, enabling believers to call God "Father," and underscores that faith in Jesus and spiritual rebirth are essential for approaching God, contrasted with the misconception that all are inherently God's children.

The teaching emphasizes the clear distinction between heaven and hell and attributes the difference to rebirth through faith in Jesus Christ, illustrated by biblical examples such as Uzzah's death and Jesus' crucifixion. It highlights that God did not spare His own Son from suffering for the sins of humanity, and warns that the only path to salvation is through rebirth in Jesus, urging individuals to recognize the seriousness of their relationship with God.
