Looking at the hsrtory

Never does ekklesia refer to a building in which people gathered, for worship or for any other purpose. (In fact, the early Christians in the New Testament didn't even have special buildings or places in which to meet during the period in which the New Testament was written. This came much later. For the most part, the first Christians met in private homes it was personal why Jesus said my ecclesia.). The battle of terms practices came around it got silenced many times for those seeking the truth money may have had something to do with it, pelase read King james instructions to the translators the history thereof is quite interesting.. 

Is my faith  weaker, never it is stronger than ever 2 Corth 3  we are not people of print alone but a people indwelt which means personal connect,  awareness, and leading, unction, power, revelatory expressions of faith. Most people way back had no bibles, gberations of them, by the way many were unable to read, most things were passed orally. I agree lets stop making up stuff and talk about the truth.They were led and knew who it was leading them,? elders sir were servants. simple practicaland ready to go whererver.


Thanks., what words  did,

Now concerning the word “church,” Professor Smith of Smith’s Dictionary of the Bible states that “church” comes from a word meaning “circle,” which is akin to our word “circus.” Professor Lipsius (German theologian during the Reformation) also shows that “church” came from “circle.” Professor A. F. Fausett of Home Bible Study Dictionary” agrees with Professor Lipsius...."

"Robert Brown’s work The Myth of Kirke” also confirms that “kirke” (church) means “Circle” or “Circular” (p. 22)..........The places of worship among the German and Celtic nations were always circular [witness circular Stonehenge, one of the most ancient stone megaliths on earth]. Compare Anglo-Saxon ‘circe,’ a small church, with ‘circol,’ a circle.” In Scotland it is called “Kirk” and in Gemany it is “Kirche,” in England it is the word “Circe” (the “c” having a “k” sound)."

"But according to Brown’s book, “Kirke/Circe” was also the name of a Goddess."

"Kirke or Circe was the daughter of the Sun god, who was famous for taming wild animals for her circus. But get ready for this: Circe is pictured holding a golden cup in her hand mixed with wine and drugs, by which she controlled the kings of the world. the question is answerered in scripture itself."

Revelation 17: 4 says "And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:" back to Christ totally.??? the term had a grip of some sort may be the reluctance to change is the best answer to it 's impact.

 Besides I doubt totaly, jesus  would have ever used the  esoteric name, knowing it;s back ground is dark.

Thanks my response thanks to the senders.
