Good Cop, Bad Cop?

But what I am doing, I will continue to do, that I might cut off opportunity from those who desire an opportunity to be regarded just as we are in the matter about which they are boasting.  For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ.  And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.  Therefore it is not surprising if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their deeds.  Apostle Paul (2 Cor. 11:12-15)

Building relationships

You who are full of all deceit and fraud, you son of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease to make crooked the straight ways of the Lord?  And now, you will be blind and not see the sun for a time."  And immediately a mist and darkness fell upon him, and he went about seeking those who would lead him by the hand.  (Acts 13:10&11)

By the words of Apostle Peter, Ananias and his wife Sapphira were struck dead for lying.  (Acts 5:3-10)
