These people (people who, v4, pervert the grace of our God into a license for immorality and deny Jesus Christ our only Sovereign and Lord, and, ungodly people who, v8, pollute their own bodies and reject authority) are blemishes at your love feasts, eating with you without the slightest qualm—shepherds who feed only themselves. They are clouds without rain, blown along by the wind; autumn trees, without fruit and uprooted —twice dead.
Here is no hint of what was actually eaten at the "love feasts," just a warning about who may show up to eat there. Also another food analogy. As my pastors like to say, "healthy living things reproduce."
