I think it's statements such as this, which are being called "poison." It is based on false assumptions, since the plural ('gods') indicates polytheism, but religious Jews are monotheistic; is also implies that the God they follow is false, when in fact He is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob" -- identified by Jesus as the One True God.
followers of false gods must be kept out of the sacred temple.

It certainly looks like poison to me. Satan encourages and relishes division.
