2 | Synagogue and church analogous? | Matt 23:1 | prayon | 4756 | ||
Hank, I am going to take a stab at this since no one else has. I am going to say that no they were not the same. In the gospels numerous times Jesus put the synagogs down because the leaders were more interested in pomp and circumstance and rituals than in teaching the word of God. The rabbi's and priests looked righteous and religious on the outside but were greedy,full of filth and self indulgent on the inside. They did not care about people's souls,(see the woes in Matthew chapter 23). I believe that Jesus would not want His NT church to be simialr to this at all. | ||||||
