Oh, I was not implying that those born of Judah are the only ones who could make up the synagogue of Satan. No, I was reading that the LORD was speaking of those individuals among the Jews who claim to be faithful and are not, having evil intentions, not in keeping with God. Same as individuals among all people of Judeo/Christian religions. Some are faithful and some are living in such a way they put themselves as the LORD said in the "synagogue of Satan". One doesn't even have to have a religion to be in the synagogue of Satan. It has been the first all around non denominational, everybody included church of all time.
What I was saying, if there are those who desire to bring themselves into the conformity of the Jewish faith, why not accept them?
By the way, I would have responded earlier, but I was locked out from replying, even on my own thread over in the Religion forum. So no disrespect here intended by not getting back sooner.
