What is this Churchs name ?

[dan p]

Hi to all and many believers say that the Church began in Matt 16:18 !

And many say that it began in Acts 9 , with Paul , called the Body of Christ !

Then in Acts 8:3 , that SAUL/ PAUL , he made HAVOCK of the church , entering into every house , and haling men and women committed them to prison .

Then Gal 1:13 we see that Paul in times past in the Jews religion , how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God and wasted it .

So afr I see 3 different Churchs here ?

So, what is the NAME of this church ??

I'm guessing it's not "Paul."

Hi Willmena , you are right and we can never call it Paul's Church .

But it is a Jewish Assembly , right ? yes !!

I am the church, and those that are His. We are the church.

Hi gzusfrk , but EKKLESIA , means Assembly or Congregation .

It is a Greek compound word , EK means " out " and KLESIS means called , and then it means " CALLED OUT ."

 

[Dunemeister]

"Church" is simply the English translation of the Greek "ekklesia." What's your issue?

Hi Dunemeister , and it a bible issue and an issue to those that refuse to see the difference between the Jewish Messianic assembly in the Gospels , which has nothing to do with Peter and what Paul calls the Body of Christ Assembly , and that is a big difference whether you see it or not .

So , then what does the word Church mean ? dan p

 

[gzusfrk]

The word church means "of the Lord".
