Trinity Collusion, Part 1

Shawn argues that common interpretations of the Trinity, particularly those derived from certain King James Bible passages, have been manipulated to support the man-made Trinitarian doctrine, suggesting that the original Greek texts do not explicitly refer to Jesus as God but rather use the term "who" instead of "God" in key passages like 1 Timothy 3:16. He stresses that while he acknowledges the manifestation of God through the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, he disagrees with the concept of these as co-equal persons forming one God, promoting a more nuanced understanding that challenges traditional creedal trinitarianism.

Shawn argues that the insertion of "God" in I Timothy 3:16 is a later alteration influenced by the doctrine of the Trinity, as early biblical manuscripts like the Codex Sinaiticus and translations such as the Latin Vulgate and Syriac Peshitta support the reading "who" or "which" instead. By analyzing both internal and external evidences, he emphasizes that interpreting "God was manifest in the flesh" contradicts other scripture passages that claim God is invisible, suggesting that Jesus represented God but was not God incarnate.

Shawn teaches that the translation of biblical passages can significantly impact theological interpretations, particularly regarding the perception of Jesus' divinity and his relationship to God. Examining texts like Romans and Timothy, he points out translation errors that have historically shaped beliefs such as the Trinity, advocating for a more accurate understanding of scripture to discern the distinct roles of God and Jesus, supported by references like 1 Corinthians 8:6.
