I think what needs to be understood here is that these are not Churches in history per say,rather they are types of churches in this time with the difference being in what is taught in each one.
I feel the message is in why Christ found no fault with two of the churches,read the deeper meaning,which I feel is why did Christ find no fault in these two in particular,what did they teach or knew that the other 5 did not.
While Im here I have a question it may be a tad off topic but here goes.
Why do most every one seperate the Jews from the Church? Is'nt the Church a many membered body of believers regardless of race or culture,did not Christ die on the cross so that ALL could be grafted into that body? Just curious and sry bout going off topic.
