The word
"church" was first used by Theodore Beza in 1556, a Protestant, who followed
John Calvin at Geneva, Switzerland. As a Presbyterian, Beza believed in the idea
of a catholic church and its hierarchal form of government and therefore chose
to support this false concept by using the word "church" instead of "assembly."
The reason is obvious in that the use of the word "congregation" or "assembly"
would not support his church's hierarchical form of church government.
William
Whittingham's Testament of 1557 followed Beza's usage of "church" and was
actually the first edition of the Geneva Bible and was a revision of the Tyndale
New Testament.
Because the Geneva
Bible was printed in Europe and not in England the English people desired a
Bible published in their native country. This was the reason for the next
English Bible, the Bishops Bible (1568) which was a revision of the Geneva Bible
and this translation continued the use of the term "church" as has majority of
subsequent English translations including the King James Version. This shows
that the use of the word "church" instead of "assembly" or "congregation" came
from those who had a bias towards a hierarchical and unscriptural form of church
government. To have translated the word "ekklesia" accurately into "assembly" or
congregation" would have exposed their form of church government as being in
error.
Tragic the actual terms used in the once spirit led body shifted dramatically into the dictatorial terms and actions, the words such as chaber, chauteruth,had then left the body as servants in the original forms it would shift monarchical structures not found in the Greek word of papias or the actual older words used by history when he described the servant an hood lead derived out of faith rather business .
Had shifted into business and power, the other older form what implied a deep personal connection to the Christ and his Spirit recently came up in one Derek princes articles which I love his definition coincides neck to neck with
Hopwood's work that describes the early spirit led body from the later twisted forms used to usurp authority over the people.. the main terms were altered but are now being defined by many seeking to regain their place , As part of functional body not just spectators able to under stand the personal connect put forth in the 1 Corinthians 1-5 letter , in which those people knew be fore they had print many hundreds of years in many cases most was oral, sir, and led of God directly as hopwood said from the early data they were "shot through and through of the spirit".
The data above is sad drams of power and wealth gatehring that caused him and few others to be burnt , caring is not career secular process , JESUS was not part of the religious industry of his day it had long since lost it's way... through extensive compromise and corruption...
I agree with papais when he was ask to produce the scriptures all of them he said he had one , he ask the inflamed questionnaire"why do keep looking on the out side for what can only exist on the inside " ? the holy was his teacher and he knew it, that came the question that rattled logician's minds , they were conscious of the new indwelling it was not another platonic philosophy they had to ascribe to but knew the mind of their God..
I hear God all the time I can barely sleep The spirit of God constantly intouch. amazing we have stumbled over that for centuries and wrote mtns of how to books, and yet we are no closer than we were the day the logician misled so many in their pagan Greek education walked away from those who knew the truth and direct union to seek out side proof of what can only take place in the truth of rebirth of that which is dead, to come alive to God by grace through faith .
We hope you enjoy a drop of real truths sections, avoiding the emotionally charged assumption contortions. Flowing life of Christ is servant hood, I would agree perhaps the Quaker by far was most close sect, hugenants and the commissar's in France all desired the real relationship, over the political ambiguous agendas, not the mergence of pagan Greek philosophy, but true union , since to the spirit led body is based on servant hood which dominated their lives, free of the blood shed that came for money and power .
We hold to the truth as much as we can know, narrowway 2011 is not sold out thanks we hope many will regain the real once spirit led body and realize that the entire body is once again the Chaber of Christ union in their awareness and faith led lives.
Taking a look at what took place in the game for power.
freedom in truth
