That was Paul speaking, Jesus spoke of these things in Matthew and other
Gospels while he still dwelled on this earth, before His death.
Jesus spoke thusly, “Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's
clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.” (Mat 7:15)
In many scriptures and various ways.
Paul was speaking of the cults, such as your and so you are fulfilling v30 to
the detriment and destructions of you all, if you do not repent. As it stands
currently you are all accursed, as spoken by Paul as well.

Yes, you have, as I just mentioned to you in another post
“Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn
away. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive
silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, Ever learning, and
never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Now as Jannes and Jambres
withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds,
reprobate concerning the faith. But they shall proceed no further: for their
folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was.” (2Ti 3:5-9)
And for these things your cult is accursed.

2Th 2:1-4
1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and
by our gathering together unto him,
2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor
by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except
there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of
perdition;
4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is
worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself
that he is God.
Even the translation you quoted was deceitful and in error. This one is from
the KJV and I would have post ones in modern English for fluidity, but they
say the same thing

2Co 4:4
4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe
not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of
God, should shine unto them.
The JW does not believe nor accept Jesus as God. They claim to be of the
144,000 yet now their cult has more than that so they "adjusted" their tune.
Plus the Bible clearly states that these 144,000 are 12,000 you men, virgins
from all 12 tribes of Israel.
They are not Jews, they say that only men will see heaven, and then everyone
else is just dead. Imagine, to them Jesus was just a man amongst men, all the
prophets and Apostles are now just so much dust in the earth and will remain
so for all eternity.
So all people of all ages lived for nothing and until the JW came along, and
even so, of them only 144,000 Jewish young virgin men will get to live with
Jesus, whom they deny.
Amazing? You bet, since James is not young, nor is he a virgin, he was a RC,
not Jewish, and he will die and will never receive what the special 144K
young men will get. Same with all the other JW's.
Furthermore, none of the 144,000 are won over by men for the Bible states,...
Rev 7:2-4
2 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the
living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was
given to hurt the earth and the sea,
3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have
sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.
4 And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an
hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of
Israel.
Therefore all these men were elected and reserved by God, and AFTER the
believers were all "raptured" out of this world.
