God or Man: The Doctrine That Makes People Divine | John McKinnon | Weaponized Religion | Ep. 469

In this powerful discussion, John Collins and McKinnon expose how NAR theology (and message theology) subtly shifts the focus from Christ’s finished work on the cross to man-centered doctrines that promise hidden knowledge, new revelation, and even the ability to become a god. They show how claims about “attributes,” the Logos, and end-time mysteries gradually erode biblical teaching and authority, eventually making followers dependent on a human prophet rather than Scripture itself.

As the conversation continues, they reveal why diminishing the eternal deity of Jesus is not just a theological error — it’s a doorway into manipulation, elitism, and spiritual abuse. When believers are told that they were eternal thoughts of God, equal in nature to Jesus, the message no longer leads people to the cross, but into works, striving, and fear of losing divine status. The episode calls listeners back to biblical faith, the sufficiency of Christ, and the simple gospel that brings true freedom.
