Chris.
They were liars. They claimed to be Jews, they claimed to know God and to have a relationship with Him but they were liars. They were responsible for the conflict going on between darkness and Light in the Church. This is not just an historical problem, it is also very much a current one. We should be praying for our Senior Church Leaders to have discernment in such matters.
