The Didache contradicts these and many more of the Apostles’ Biblical teachings: Galatians 1:8-9; Jude 1:3; James 2:19; Luke 24:47; Acts 1:5; 8, Acts 2:1-4; 37-42, Acts 3:6; 16; 19, Acts 4:10-12; 17-18, Acts 5:12; 28-29; 40-42, Acts 7:59, Acts 8:12-17, Acts 9:5; 15-16; 27-29, Acts 10:40-48, Acts 11:16, Acts 12:5, Acts 13:9; 38; 52, Acts 14:22, Acts 15:26, Acts 16:5; 17-18, Acts 17:3; 30, Acts 18:24-28, Acts 19:1-7, Acts 20:28, Acts 21:13, Acts 22:16.
A Collection of the Evidence for and Against the Traditional Wording of Matthew 28:19 1962 page 28 under The Source of the Error: “The earliest reference to the triune name-phrase is found in the Didache. The Didache is a collection of fragments of writings from five or more documents. They were originally written, it is thought, between AD 80 and 160. Although we only have 99 verses, those verses contain the [Genesis] sperm of many false teachings that developed into the [Roman Catholic] Papai Superstitions. [And false doctrines] The sperm of Indulgencies, Prayer Books, the Clergy, tites for the priesthood, the Mass and the Confessional, the substitution of sprinkling for immersion and of other gross errors is to be found in that disreputable [Apocryphal] pseudo-Christian Didache. References: IV:1, IX:2-4, X:2-6, XIII:3, XIV:1, and IV:6.
And in that Didache, among all those apostate beliefs and practices is found the triune name-phrase that later wormed its way into the sacred Text of Matthew 28:19 displacing the actual words of the Lord. [“Go ye and make disciples of all nations In My Name, teaching them to observe all things, whatsoever I commanded you”] Here, then, is the source of the [Trinity] error, a written teaching that reflected the erroneous practice of apostate [Catholic] Christians in the 2nd century.”
Deuteronomy 4:2, Revelations 22:18-19 and Galatians 1:8-9 make it very clear that we cannot add, take away or alter the Scriptures, nor believe in and promote false scriptures or writings of men over the real Scriptures. The Didache, Apostles Creed, Nicene Creed, and the apocrypha are all the inventions of apostate Gnostic Platonic minds. We simply cannot go to them for authentic sound Biblical doctrine.
A History of The Christian Church 1953, by Williston Walker former Professor of Ecclesiastical History at Yale University, page 95 “With the early disciples generally baptism was “in the name of Jesus Christ.” There is no mention of baptism in the name of the Trinity in the New Testament, except in the command attributed to Christ in Matthew 28:19. That text is early, [but not the original] however. It underlies the Apostles’ Creed, and the practice recorded [*or interpolated] in the Teaching, [or the Didache] and by Justin. The Christian leaders of the third century retained the recognition of the earlier form, and, in Rome at least, baptism in the name of Christ was deemed valid, if irregular, certainly from the time of Bishop Stephen (254-257).”
It is apparent that the inspirations for the later triune form of Matthew 28:19 came from both the apostate “Apostles Creed” and the Didache. Both which are spurious apocryphal writings from apostate writers. If the primary authors were Barnabus and Clement, we can understand why so many apostate teachings are found in this early Catholic manual.
