The saga of "The Secret of GOD", as shown in 2Corinthians 11:12; the renewed mind and our victory as foretold.

Picking up where we left off with Paul's revealing the false Apostles of his day and time, but we today can include not only false Apostles but Prophets and the whole system of religion in his scenario. Let's get on with it shall we. For within our text we find a surprise or two.


2Corithians 11:12-15 "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. For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan(G4567) himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works." (KJV)

2Corinthians 11:12-15 "And what I am doing I will continue to do, in order to undermine the claim of those who would like to claim that in their boasted mission they work on the same terms as we do. For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for even Satan(G4567) disguises himself as an angel of light. So it is no surprise if his servants, also, disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their deeds." (ESV)


2Corinthians 11:12-15 "The way I do things exposes the agendas of others who claim that we are in the same team! They are obviously operating under the deceitful disguise of an Apostleship with a hidden agenda! They are certainly not Apostles of Christ. It shouldn't be a surprise since the [1]Accuser often comes camouflaged as a bearer of light! (The word, [1,G4567, origin is H7845] satanos means the accuser. The dispensationial period of the Law is the ministry of accusation.) Therefore it is no big deal if his associates in ministry would claim to also teach righteousness under the disguise of grace, while their message clearly promotes a righteousness based on their own works  and not upon the finished work of Christ!" (The Mirror)

Until our visit where we shall look into Paul's sufferings as an Apostle, may our LORD and GOD be within us all in the power of the resurrection.
