You Can’t See Because You Won’t Open Your Eyes

Shawn McCraney challenges the traditional Trinitarian view by interpreting Old Testament declarations of God's singularity, such as in Joel 2:27, as being spoken exclusively by God the Father, inviting believers to reconsider and affirm God's true identity. He argues that consistent with passages like 1 Corinthians 8:5-6, the Bible clearly indicates that the Father alone is the one true God, distinct from a Trinitarian framework.

Jesus instructed his disciples to remain in Jerusalem until they received the Holy Spirit, referred to as "the Promise of the Father," which Jesus, having been exalted and received this promise, poured out upon them, fulfilling the prophecy given by Joel. The Holy Spirit empowered the disciples to become witnesses across the earth, marking a transformative event in the early Christian community as recounted in the opening chapters of Acts.

The teaching emphasizes that the promise of the outpouring of the Spirit, as stated in Joel, was made by God the Father alone, highlighting His singular role as the one true God, distinct from a Trinitarian perspective. According to Shawn, the fulfillment of this promise occurred during Pentecost, underscoring the Father's unique position as the sole divine authority, as further supported by scriptural references, urging believers to rely solely on His Word for understanding.
