”For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.“
2 Corinthians 11:13-14 KJV
Paul warned the church in Corinth against the false gospel preachers. “For they are not true apostles but deceitful ministers who masquerade as “special apostles” of the Anointed One. That doesn’t surprise us, for even satan transforms himself to appear as an angel of light!” Even in the early Church there were false preachers of the Gospel who deceived believers, as there are today. Jewish spurious writing “Apocalypse of Moses” mentioned the temptation of Eve describing satan masquerading as an angel of light. In Paul’s time and even now, in the same way, false apostles claim to be sent from Christ and peddle another gospel. That is why Jesus said, ”“And I will send you the Divine Encourager from the very Presence of My Father. He will come to you, the Spirit of Truth, emanating from the Father, and He will speak to you about Me.” Let’s listen to the Spirit of Truth Who, through His Word, helps us discern what is false and deceitful. Let’s learn from Him. For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these Three are One. Amen!
