Episode Description:

Shawn McCraney argues that certain biblical passages, especially in the King James Version, were altered to support the man-made doctrine of the Trinity, notably 1 John 5:7, 1 Timothy 3:16, and Matthew 28:18, questioning why baptism in Acts is consistently carried out in the name of Jesus alone rather than in the Trinitarian formula. He emphasizes that Jesus, claiming all authority, instructed his disciples in the Great Commission to baptize in the combined name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, yet the actual practice in Acts shows baptism exclusively in the name of Jesus, inviting believers to critically examine this discrepancy.

Shawn argues that the traditional Christian interpretation of Matthew 28:19, which supports the Trinity doctrine, is an imposition of human-made beliefs onto Scripture, as the apostles exclusively baptized in the name of Jesus. He suggests that this interpretation has led to widespread confusion about the nature of God and highlights that Jesus emphasized that authority was given to him, promoting the view that God is fundamentally the Father, with a relational unity involving the Son and the Holy Spirit.

The teaching emphasizes the oneness and unity of God, focusing on the Christian Trinity of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, all while acknowledging their individual roles and the mystery of their unity. It highlights the incarnate nature of Jesus as the Logos made flesh and encourages worship through songs and hymns that reflect the truths found in scripture, particularly emphasizing passages from the apostle Paul.
