How did the false apostles deceive people — what language did they use?
They deceived by using much the same language as Paul, making reference to Christ, His death, burial, and resurrection, and to the Holy Spirit. They employed all the seemingly right terminology, yet it was totally empty of doctrine, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ.
Les explains that the false apostles were deceitful workers who transformed themselves into apostles of Christ. They used much the same language that Paul used, making reference to Christ, His death, burial, resurrection, and the Holy Spirit. They used all the seemingly right terminology, but it was totally empty of doctrine. Les points out that Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light, appearing as the one to be worshipped and listened to, yet he is still Satan. His ministers are Satan's ministers.
For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
