In the Midst of False Apostles

Paul writes,
I hope you will put up with a little of my foolishness;
but you are already doing that.

I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy.
I promised you to one husband,
to Christ,
so that I might present you as a pure virgin to him.

But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent's cunning,
your minds may somehow be led astray
from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ.

For if someone comes to you and preaches a Jesus
other than the Jesus we preached,
or if you receive a different spirit from the one you received,
or a different gospel from the one you accepted,
you put up with it easily enough.

But I do not think I am in the least inferior to those "super-apostles."

I may not be a trained speaker, but I do have knowledge.
We have made this perfectly clear to you in every way.

For such men are false apostles,
deceitful workmen,
masquerading as apostles of Christ.

And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.

It is not surprising,
then, if his servants masquerade as servants of righteousness.
Their end will be what their actions deserve.

(2 Corinthians 11:1-6, 13-15;
All scripture taken from New International Version.)

Have YOU accepted a Jesus other than the Jesus
proclaimed in the Word of God?
