Why did Jesus say, "Synagogue of Satan"?
>>18666555I don't actually know. Nice trips though.
>>18666555>666555He also correctly identified jews as the lying, devil worshiping spawn of a devil in John 8:44
>>18666555Because like my dad’s actions last night. He tried to do certain things he knows is routine for me by now, to break the established path I prayed and Asked God for to give to me. Satan tries to establish roadblocks to your marriage, to your children and future, and tries to kill you if he can. If it isn’t outright violence, it is just outright defiance or something shocking. Cursing followed by profuse swearing how sorry one is and how they forgot how we do this every night. For years. Are you sure you want to do this established thing you do every time? Really? Are you sure? You sure you actually believe in God? I thought we were just doing this because of men’s traditions. Wow… there really is a God or something????? *complete death of the Spirit*What’s wrong with you?! It’s you, not me!It’s like George Lucas knew what he was doing with Star Wars scenes between Luke sky walker and Darth Vader and when anakin lands to the side of the pit of lava trying to do fancy backflips with the lightsaber towards Obi Wan. Except that was between martial arts super powered force users and the real battle is actually fought with your tongue and words between the flesh and the spirit.
In some cases, the war is fought by not answering at all. Jesus eventually said nothing to those deciding to crucify him and God the Father still resurrected him and sent him to Heaven alive. Jesus Christ’s enemies had decided they won because of their words being said , which shows they craved the dominance over Jesus, not realizing the scriptures from the Father had the last and final say in Heaven’s Court.
He predicted some fake followers of his would go "we wuz da troo jooz n sheeit" and then violate all the commandments. Today, those fake followers are known as Christians.
>>18666713The Old Testament is gone. The only laws that are kept by it are by Jesus Christ and no one else.The definition of this is that it was made impossible for you to go to heaven yourself because it was made impossible for you to keep all of the law just by yourself.Since a Christian means someone who inherits Jesus Christ’s finished work on the cross by the shedding of his own blood, that means Christians have kept all of the law because Jesus Christ already has for them.Meaning I kept it more than you and I am in heaven and you are not.

>>18666555>The accusation that the synagogue was a synagogue, not of Judeans but of Satan is connected with an internal dispute on how one faithful to Israelite traditions should live with the Roman economic system. The author of Revelation was arguing that there should be no compromise with Rome, and those who did compromise were not fit to be called Judean. The Synagogue, on the other hand, argued that peaceful coexistence with Rome was possible. It is suggested that the synagogue accused members of the church in Smyrna of not being Judean because they refused to pay the special Judean tax that allowed them to practice their religion unmolested. For the author of Revelation, however, to pay the tax would be an act of apostasy, as the tax paid for the rebuilding of the Capitoline temple.https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/014610799902800405
Because he was le heckin based BASED Nazi o algo
>>18666555the same way a protestant will call the catholic church the whore of bablyon and similiar insults vice versa, aka it was one jewish guy stating other jews were doing it wrong for x reasons and they were actually going against gods will, its not that hard
>>18666555Multiple reasons, including that they drew nearer to Him with their words but not their actions and they relied on ordinances to save them instead of finding the core message as Christ taught.
>>18666555
>>18666555Jesus never said that though. The Synagogue of Satan thing comes from revelation and are purportedly the messages of Angels to the Churches from Jesus.
>>18667331so where in the book of revelation does it tell us who the real jews are
>>18666555Did he even say that though.
