False. Jesus did not call all Jews or all Israel the synagogue of Satan or children of the devil.

That was said only to certain, not all, Pharisees who opposed Jesus.

The apostle Paul was a Jewish Pharisee.

She did not say it was all.

She made it clear it was directed to unbelievers.

Not all unbelieving people are the synagogue of Satan or children of the devil. If they were, nobody could get saved.

She said: “The seed of Abraham is Jesus, not unbelieving people, whose father is not Abraham, but their father is the enemy. Jesus said to them, the synagogue of Satan, your father is the Satan.”
 
It was said to the unbelieving pharisees and those who followed them, which was most of the population
False. Jesus called certain Pharisees children of the devil, not those who followed these Pharisees. Jesus spoke directly to the Pharisees who opposed Him, and did not mention their followers.
 
There is only ONE kind of Jew that matters.

Romans 2
King James Version
28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.
All Jews, and all people, matter to God.

I Timothy 2

3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;

4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
 
One thing we should know, before Jesus save us, we were not children of God, we were dead in our transgressions, we belonged to the enemy.

Jesus is the way, the truth, the life. Jesus give us life, the true life. Now that we are saved by Jesus, we can claim to be children of God.

All praise to our Lord and savior 🙏 Jesus!!!

Seems to me the term "synagogue" as it is used in the Book of Revelation is a group of people/non believers who were persecuting believers in Smyrna and Philadelphia.

Very good. Ethnic blood don't matter. Faith and grace in Jesus matters. Only Jesus blood matters.
Blessings.

Was Paul not part of the synagogue of satan until he repented and believed?

No, of course not, because there is an elect remnant among all peoples. But until a person believes and is born from above he is a child of satan. Let's not get distracted and forget Christianity 101

Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. Ephesians 2:2-3

Children of disobedience or wrath does not mean children of Satan. Jesus never called all people children of satan. Jesus reserved that classification for the Pharisees who opposed Him and claimed Jesus was possessed, He said their father was the devil.

Speaking of Christianity 101, your avatar is Church Lady, from Saturday Night Live comedy show, a persona that mocked Christians and ridiculed the concept of Satan.

We were by nature the children of wrath. Now we have become partakers of the divine nature.

Trying to figure this out. What is the difference between a child of satan and a servant of satan?

Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? Romans 6:16

Well it did start that way when someone posted a response to something I said with "Scripture?" Then later when they stated their opinion about something this was my response:

Yes, the term was directed at the Jews who were persecuting the Church.
 
Many Evangelical Christians have a rosy picture of the Nation of Israel and see only what they want to see.
Since its inception as a nation in 1948, it displaced 750,000 Palestinians during the 'Nakba' and since then has continued on a course of oppression, displacement and killing of Palestinians.
Coming to the present time, 62,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza by the IDF, 20,000 being children. Israel's war against Gaza has not been to just eliminate Hamas, but to wipe out the Gazan population, that is called 'genocide'.
In the West Bank, scores of houses and villages have been destroyed by Jewish settlers under the approving eye of the IDF. Add to this, illegal arrests and detention of numerous Palestinians and imprisonment without trial that continues daily.

All this is going on while 'Christian Zionists', particularly in the US, turn a blind eye or choose to be oblivious to the crimes against humanity that are perpetrated by Israel. How can this be?

What about Hamas you ask? I do not condone the violent actions of Hamas, but I can understand the frustration they and other Palestinians have after years of oppression and injustice at the hands of the Israeli government.

One must also make note of the complicity of Biden and Trump. Millions of US taxpayers' dollars have been spent on munitions and bombs used to kill thousands innocent civilians in Gaza.

God has been watching! He will hold to account Israel, the US, Christian Zionists and people like Hamas on that Great Day.

This from someone living in what was made as a penal colony and recently put their own citizens into camps.
