First, just prior to that Paul states that “I do not love you.” If he says he loves God but does not love his neighbor, he is a liar.

Second, “whose end will be according to their works.” is a very true statement.

I will say no more on this except that only a person blind of spirit cannot see and feel the difference between the darkness of Satan and the Light of God.

God showed me how Satan imitates the Light. I spent many years traveling and visiting many churches and observing. If a pastor is connected, I see the Light shine upon them and their words flowing into them. That doesn’t exist in the fakes.

First, Paul does not state “I do not love you.” just prior to that statement. He asks a rhetorical question during the writing of a letter to the Corinthian church, the second of two. Here is the text of verse 1-13.

“1 Would to God ye could bear with me a little in my folly: and indeed bear with me. 2 For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. 3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. 4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him. 5 For I suppose I was not a whit behind the very chiefest apostles. 6 But though I be rude in speech, yet not in knowledge; but we have been throughly made manifest among you in all things. 7 Have I committed an offence in abasing myself that ye might be exalted, because I have preached to you the gospel of God freely? 8 I robbed other churches, taking wages of them, to do you service. 9 And when I was present with you, and wanted, I was chargeable to no man: for that which was lacking to me the brethren which came from Macedonia supplied: and in all things I have kept myself from being burdensome unto you, and so will I keep myself. 10 As the truth of Christ is in me, no man shall stop me of this boasting in the regions of Achaia.

11 Wherefore? because I love you not? God knoweth.

12 But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them which desire occasion; that wherein they glory, they may be found even as we.

13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.


You are twisting Scripture. Verse 13 describes you.

Get thee behind me, Satan. In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I rebuke you and all your underlings whatever evil entity is writing this thread. You are a liar and the father of lies. I rebuke you, in Jesus’ Name.
