The opposite of true fellowship.
Dark light is the appearance of righteousness but actually the Empire of Darkness headed by Satan himself who transforms himself into an Angel of light/false prophets and followers of a false Gospel / False Jesus. 1John 3:10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devill; whosoever doeth not righteousnesse, is not of God, neither hee that loveth not his brother. Satan always tries to imitate or counterfeit the true Light of the World /Jesus . John 12:36 While ye have light, beleeve in the light, that ye may bee the children of light. These spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them. I agree with Bob about James 1:22 👍And also agree with Roy about Satan corrupted gospel👍
I immediately think of our battle between light and darkness as believers in Christ. It's a battle we fight every day, and I ask, are you a doer of the Word and not a hearer only? (James 1:22) Matthew 6:19-23 19 ¶ Lay not vp for your selues treasures vpon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where theeues breake thorow, and steale. 20 But lay vp for your selues treasures in heauen, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, & where theeues doe not breake thorow, nor steale. 21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. 22 The light of the body is the eye: If therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shalbe full of light. 23 But if thine eye be euill, thy whole body shall be full of darknesse. If therfore the light that is in thee be darkenesse, how great is that darkenesse? Do we not sometimes try to hide from our obligation as Jonah did and not follow the will of The Father? Psalms 139:7-12 7 Whither shall I goe from thy spirit? or whither shall I flie from thy presence? 8 If I ascend vp into heauen, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there. 9 If I take the wings of the morning: and dwell in the vttermost parts of the Sea: 10 Euen there shall thy hand leade me: and thy right hand shall hold me. 11 If I say, Surely the darkenes shall couer me: euen the night shall bee light about me. 12 Yea the darkenesse hideth not from thee, but the night shineth as the day: the darknes and the light are both alike to thee. I guess to summarize my thoughts, We are given a chance to follow the light (Eph 2:10) or to be among thorns and become unfruitful in darkness (Matt 13:18-23). Are you feeding the light, or are you feeding the dark? What you feed is what grows.
In my understanding, in short, the "dark light" is Satan's corrupted "gospel" and the self-righteousness and evil it creates within its followers. Jesus explained this condition later in the chapter when he said "39And the Lord said vnto him, Now doe ye Pharises make cleane the outside of the cup and the platter: but your inward part is full of rauening and wickednesse." The outside looks righteous . . "light" but the inside is self-serving "darkness" . . evil.
An example of "dark light" would be the Inquisition . . where . .using the false spiritual authority of the Roman Church . . Rome tortured and killed millions who refused to bow to its authority, many (most?) of whom who were Bible-believing Christians like the Waldenses. Modern examples include mega-money churches which steal from their own flock through a false testimony regarding tithing. Or the confession of sins to a priest, where the Lord's name and authority is falsely invoked to forgive sins by the ordering of the repetition of ritual prayers. As such, the confessor believes himself free of the burden of his sins, without true repentance, and thusly unburdened, repeats the same sins over and over again. Another example being the eucharist ritual, whereby the priest falsely claims the power to command Jesus Christ down from heaven to occupy a cookie and be consumed every Sunday in a mock re-sacrifice of Christ. Ritualistic "cleansing" by the Antichrist church without the working of the Holy Spirit.
