Dwight Shane Baldwin


(see Torah is the Holy Spirit, Second Coming, Mighty and Strong One, Modalism, David Taylor – Chief Midegah, The Matrix)

Dwight Shane Baldwin is a new up and coming fraud pretending to the be the coming Mighty and Strong One along with claiming to be Holy Spirit.

Through the years he has changed his story of what he is doing and his motivation for doing it. During his interview “Shane Baldwin Answers The Tough Questions!” by Mormon Book Reviews, Shane lies in response to the so-called tough questions, and the interview, Steven Pynakker, lets him get away with his lies. One example is how Steven asked Shane if he teaches, he is the Holy Spirit, Shane lied in saying no he didn’t. Shane also lied about teaching that he is the end times Mighty and Strong One from Isaiah and other scriptures. Yes, I can say Shane lied, because he has been teaching that on Zion Media for a while before going on Mormon Book Reviews.

I find the name of Dwight Shane Baldwin’s title of his book “The Honest Lie: How to Navigate the Matrix” of his practices and beliefs. From the title, Shane believes we can be honest while lying, which is a complete contradiction. The scriptures teach against lying about anything and everything including the Book of Mormon. If someone, including Dwight Shane Baldwin, lies about one thing, for reasons they think justify it, how will you know that what you believe from them right now is not another lie?

Leviticus 6:2-3
A 2 If a soul sin,
-B and commit a trespass against the Lord [YHWH],
–C and lie unto his neighbour
—D in that which was delivered him to keep,
—-E or in fellowship,
—–F or in a thing taken away by violence,
—-E or hath deceived his neighbour;
—D 3 Or have found that which was lost,
–C and lieth concerning it, and sweareth falsely;
-B in any of all these that a man doeth,
A sinning therein:

2 Nephi (LDS 9:34)(RLDS 6:68)
A Wo unto the liar,
B for he [liar] shall be thrust down to hell.

2 Nephi (LDS 26:32-33)(RLDS 11:110-115)
32 And again, the Lord [YHWH] God [Elohim] hath commanded that men … that they should not lie; … and that they should do none of these things; for whoso doeth them shall perish. 33 For none of these iniquities [sins] come of the Lord [YHWH];

D&C (LDS 10:25)(RLDS 3)(1833 9)(1835 36)(1844 36)
25 Yea, he [Satan] saith unto them: Deceive and lie in wait to catch, that ye may destroy; behold, this is no harm. And thus he flattereth them, and telleth them that it is no sin to lie that they may catch a man in a lie, that they may destroy him.

D&C (LDS 10:28)(RLDS 3)(1833 9)(1835 36)(1844 36)
28 Verily, verily, I say unto you, wo be unto him that lieth to deceive because he supposeth that another lieth to deceive, for such are not exempt from the justice of God [Elohim].

The last part of Shane’s book name “The Matrix” is also interesting. In pop culture, the movie The Matrix is a big deal. In one of the recordings on Zion Media, Shane has stated The Matrix movie series is one of his favorites. One thing we need to know about The Matrix movie series is how it is a Gnostic series, meaning it makes evil look good and good look evil. Hollywood is very good at making evil look good and good to look evil. In the King James Version of the Bible, opening the matrix is about being born into mortality. The Matrix movie series main theme is the 1st – 7th seals and fighting against the Architect, who represents YHWH Elohim, and listening to the Oracle, who represents Queen of Heaven also known as Satan.

Isaiah 5:20
AA 20 Woe unto them that call evil good,
AB and good [Torah] evil;
BA that put darkness for light,
BB and light [Torah is Light] for darkness;
CA that put bitter for sweet,
CB and sweet [Torah is Sweet] for bitter!

Moroni (LDS 7:14)(RLDS 7:12)
A 14 Wherefore, take heed, my beloved brethren,
B that ye do not judge that which is evil to be of God [Elohim],
C or that which is good [Torah] and of God [Elohim] to be of the devil.

Exodus 13:12 That thou shalt set apart unto the Lord [YHWH] all that openeth the matrix and every firstling that cometh of a beast which thou hast; the male shall be the Lord’s [YHWH’s].

Exodus 13:15 And it came to pass, when Pharaoh would hardly let us go, that the Lord [YHWH] slew all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of man and the firstborn of beast; therefore, I sacrifice to the Lord [YHWH] all that openeth the matrix, being males; but all the firstborn of My [YHWH] children I [YHWH] redeem.

Exodus 34:19 All that openeth the matrix is Mine [YHWH]; and every firstling among thy cattle, whether ox or sheep, that is male.

Numbers 3:12 And I [YHWH], behold, I [YHWH] have taken the Levites from among the children of Israel instead of all the firstborn that openeth the matrix among the children of Israel; therefore, the Levites shall be Mine [YHWH],

Numbers 18:15 Everything that openeth the matrix in all flesh, which they bring unto the Lord [YHWH], whether it be of men or beasts, shall be thine [Levites]; nevertheless, the firstborn of man shalt thou surely redeem, and the firstling of unclean beasts shalt thou redeem.

The main representation of the Mighty and Strong One in The Matrix movie series is Agent Smith. The Oracle / Satan calls Agent Smith / Mighty and Strong One a bastard. This is referencing the bad King James version of Zechariah 9:6. This is relevant to Dwight Shane Baldwin because he claims one of the qualifications, he meets to be the coming Mighty and Strong One, is the fact he is bastard himself. That is no way his fault. It is his fault that he is using it to support his lies. Although many translate “H5564: mamzer” to “bastard” it’s dictionary definition is quite different which is “a mongrel, i.e. born of a Jewish father and a heathen mother”. In addition, if “H5564: mamzer” actually meant bastard, there are bigger problems from the word of Yah that would disqualify him from being the Mighty and Strong One for other reasons, which a subject I would rather not cover here.

SJR Zechariah 9:6 [Interlinear, BibleHub]
A 6 And a bastard {H4464: someone part Israelite} shall dwell in Ashdod,
B and I [YHWH] will cut off the pride of the Philistines.

BibleHub, H4464: mamzer:
Definition: a mongrel, i.e. born of a Jewish father and a heathen mother

Regarding Dwight Shane Baldwin claim of being the Holy Spirit, that just is not possible. Simply because the Holy Spirit is how YHWH wants us to behave holy which is Torah as I show in Torah is the Holy Spirit by showing how Torah and the Holy Spirit are used the same way throughout the scriptures. This also goes along with what Joseph Smith taught in Lectures on Faith 5 which is the doctrine from the Doctrine and Covenants till 1920 for LDS and 1897 for RLDS see Lectures on Faith.

Shane is pushing an evil known as necromancy, which is a witchcraft and a sin with a capital punishment, through his paid app Oracle. Selling such services, as blessings and others, is priestcraft. I can say that Shane is pushing necromancy because he is saying you can write to people who are dead and get written letters back from them in is paid app. He says it’s to fund his ministry, while at the same time claiming that John the Revelator is helping him with his ministry and is uber rich from crypto market, which if this was true, why wouldn’t John the Revelator be giving money to Shane to support his ministry?

1828 Webster’s Dictionary, NECROMANCY:
1) The art of revealing future events by means of a pretended communication with the dead. This imposture is prohibited.
2) Enchantment; conjuration.

Deuteronomy 18:9-12
9 When thou art come into the land which the Lord [YHWH] thy God [Elohim] giveth thee [Israel & mixed multitude], thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations. 10 There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, 11 Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. 12 For all that do these things are an abomination unto the Lord [YHWH]: and because of these abominations the Lord [YHWH] thy God [Elohim] doth drive them out from before thee.

JST 1 Chronicles 10:13 So Saul died for his transgression which he committed against the LORD [YHWH], even or against the word of the LORD [YHWH], which he kept not, and also for asking for counsel of one that had a familiar spirit [necromancy], to inquire of it;

Before Shane claimed publicly that he was told while in prison that he is the coming Mighty and Strong One, he did interviews of other people who claimed they were the Mighty and Strong One. Where if Shane is the Mighty and Strong One or not, this act in itself is deceptive, perhaps going with his book title “The Honest Lie”. I ask again, how can you know when a liar is telling the truth? In addition to interviewing fake Mighty and Strong One, he did a lot with David Taylor, aka Chief Midegah, who is a fraud just as Shane Baldwin is. Shane has claimed recently that he was just using David Taylor, aka Chief Midegah, to be the Mighty and Strong One so he didn’t have to. If this statement is true, which I don’t believe it is, it shows a lack of faith in Yeshua / Jesus. First off faith is trusting in Yeshua’s / Jesus’ words and diligently keeping His laws known as Torah. Elias, another name for the coming Mighty and Strong One, is to restore all things, and in this case All Things is Torah. The deception, lies and dark psychology that Shane uses is not from YHWH Elohim who is Yeshua / Jesus see Modalism. Shane has taken things that other false Mighty and Strong One have claimed and made them his own.

Ether (LDS 12:4)(RLDS 5:4)
A 4 Wherefore, whoso believeth in God [Elohim]
-B might with surety hope [trust] for a better world,
–C yea, even a place at the right hand of God [Elohim],
—D which hope [trust] cometh of faith,
—D maketh an anchor to the souls of men,
–C which would make them sure and steadfast [diligent],
-B always abounding in good works [Torah],
A being led to glorify God [Elohim].

Dwight Shane Baldwin claims the fact that he is gathering people under him is a sign that he is the Holy Spirit (which is not possible see Torah is the Holy Spirit) and the coming Mighty and Strong One (which is not the case for many reasons). Yes, the Mighty and Strong One will gather the house of Israel, but it’s not his first act as it is Shane’s. Not to mention there have been many other false Mighty and Strong Ones in the past who have gathered people under them also. (Wikipedia has an incomplete list of false Mighty and Strong Ones who have even gather others under them and their false teachings see One Might and Strong – Wikipedia.) We can see that gathering is not much of a sign of anyone being the Mighty and Strong One.

Scriptures show that Mighty and Strong One will no longer be hidden during the 3rd Seal of the Book of Revelation, which deals with money, hunger and people rising up against their masters. You can see this in Isaiah 49, Revelation 12 and Exodus 17:1-17 as a shadow of the Second Coming events from Exodus 15 – Leviticus 10 as I go over in Scripture Study 2026-10-09 A Shadow of the Second Coming Events. One thing the Mighty and Strong One will do is give signs to the Lehite elders just as Moses did before started the gathering in Exodus 4 and in Exodus 17:1-17 as a shadow of Second Coming as explained in Scripture Study 2026-10-09 A Shadow of the Second Coming Events. During the 4th Seal the Mighty and Strong One will build Zion and people will gather to Zion for a refuge. During the 4th Seal the Mighty and Strong One will go out to the world to warn them of the coming destruction they will be part of if they don’t repent. During the Millennium, the Mighty and Strong One will not be king but will go out to the world as a missionary to the kings and others that did not die during the 7th Seal, the wrath of Elohim / God.

I’ve had a few personal interactions with Dwight Shane Baldwin. They have been plagued with him trying to use dark psychology and manipulation on me to get me to believe the way he does and get me to do what he wanted out of me. It stopped when he said if anyone else saw our messages they would agree with him, so I suggested that I share our chats with the world and to find out. He left me alone after I suggested that. Perhaps I’ll publish them, so people can decide for themselves if his actions are the type of behavior the Mighty and Strong One would do.

  • Thoughts on Part 1 of Revelation Chapters 1-3: Recently I came across Shane Baldwin on LDS Freedom Forum. And in a Private Message he sent me and on a recorded zoom meeting we had together, he invited me to share my thought on his Part 1 of Revelation Chapters 1-3, deciphering the HIDDEN Codes and Unlocking the KEY. (After I shared my thoughts with Shane, that he asked for, Shane got very belligerent with me, perhaps I’ll share the screen shots one day.)

Others

I disagree much with various teachings from the people below teach. I list them because they are bringing out that Shane Baldwin is not who he is claiming to be.
