Yeah, they were preached in the synagogues, not in the assembly (ekklésia) of believers. That chapter makes a clear distinction with the words chosen. That reference didn’t blow anybody out of anything other than to show the error of believing that the assembly of believers was considered a synagogue.
It is the assembly that occupies the synagogue.
Deception never works!
Twisting the truth (like a wick) is the source of the word wicked.
