In the beginning was the Word...
John 1:1 is one of the most quoted—and most misunderstood—verses in the Bible. In this episode, Pastor Jacob Jones of River City Pentecostals in Decatur, Alabama, takes a deep dive into the original meaning of this verse, clearing up common misconceptions and exposing how Trinitarian interpretations often stray from biblical truth.

Prompted by a viral video from Indiana Bible College that features a musical rendition of John 1:1, 11, 12, and 14, this episode shows how powerful scripture can be when rightly divided—and how misleading it becomes when taken out of its proper context.

🔹 Key Topics Covered:
✅ What does "the Word was with God" really mean?
✅ How does Jewish thought inform our understanding of "the Word"?
✅ What is the correct interpretation of John 1:1–14?
✅ How do Trinitarians misrepresent these verses?

In this video, Pastor Jacob Jones of River City Pentecostals in Decatur, Alabama, breaks down the biblical timeline and shows why the thief’s salvation was unique to the Old Covenant.

This is a long episode, I know, but I wanted to be very thorough. I take the time to show that to be logically consistent, you must interpret the phrase "in the name of" the same way in Acts 2:38 as you do in Matt 28:19.
