jiggyfly: I agree. I wish the translators would have used "assembly" rather than the word church. charlesj

Hello jiggyfly it is good to hear from you again!! (I have my Logos Bible Software to show definitions from College Dictionary, Strongs, Theological Dictionary of the New Testament and Louw-Nida. The definitions below were copied and pasted from Logos Bible Software.) This is from the...

Disciple: See my little writing on http://www.christianityboard.com/topic/13563-local-universal-church/ charlesj

The Greek word “ekklisia” is translated both as “church and assembly” in the N.T. I have tried to use “assembly” as much as I can to convey the idea of what an assembly (church) really is. I have written more on this definition of assembly in another post I titled “Is “church” religious name?”...

Hey Dan: κυριεύω in both 1 Cor 11:20 and Rev 1:10 that you mentioned means "Lord" not ekklesia (assembly or church). Ekklesia is translated sometimes as "assembly" and other times as "church." Body of Christ are people who believe and follow Him. Chist is the "Head" over this body of...

Selene: I hope the problems Japan is having hasn't affected you or the island? Anyway, good to hear from you again. I think I told you before, but Guam would have been one of my duty stations when I was in the military after leaving Africa and Germany. charlesj

Hello Selene: It's been about a year since we've talked. Are you still on Guam? Hope all is well with you. Yes, Chirst is the Head of the assembly and also the church is the bride of the Lord. Thanks for your imput. May the Lord be with us, charlesj

It’s really hard for me to respond to you. I’ve noticed that most of your posts to others are very negative and critical. You certainly have an axe to grind. In Christ, charlesj

What is the Church? Many use this term “church” to mean a building or a location where religious people meet. Is this the definition? How is “church” used in the Bible? Is it a New Testament term? We have to be careful as the way we used a word depends on the idea we have of the thing...

Hello Dan, Butch and Truth: I haven’t been following the thread real close and I hope I not jumping into a pile of mud. But the idea I get is you are saying that the apostle Paul (but, not the 12) knew that the Gentiles (the mystery) were included in the new covenant??? The way I see it is...

Hello Dan p: I marvel that ye are so quickly removing from him that called you in the grace of Christ unto a different gospel; 7which is not another gospel only there are some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. (Gal 1:6,7) When the apostle writes, “to pervert the...

Johnoneone: Now you just told me what you call the New Testament, but I asked, "why do we call Genesis through Malachi "the Old Testament."? thanks, for your input, but you haven't gone far enough yet to answer the question. I don't know the answer, but I'm looking for one. thanks...

Hi again burningfire: The Law was NEVER a way to heaven for the Jew or anyone else. It has ALWAYS been by faith. We (Christians) are not under the law of Moses, we are under the Law of Christ. (For example: Gal 6:2 "...Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ." charlesj...

Hello burningfire: You are talking about the "law" which is just a "small part" of Genesis through Malachi. My questions deals with the whole first half of our bible not just the sacrificial system as you are talking about. Also, remember when you say "the law" you are making referecne to the...

I guess there must be a reason for calling the first half of our bible the "Old Testament"? (Old Covenant). There are many covenants in the first half of our bible. The only covenant I can see in the New Testament that is made reference to is the one made on Sinai (Ex 34:27ff; Deut 5:2ff...

Well, at least you work a little. I don't do NOTHING...lol... I walk four miles six days a week. This morning I most likely walked five miles becasue I went a different route. I go to the shooting range with another Marine once a month. We shoot our pistols sometimes and then sometimes...

Hello Tomwebster: No, in my senior year at TT IBM hired me. I went on a project with IBM, quit TT, never looked back and never regretted it. (I spent 4 years at TT, learned a lot and never thought it was a waster of time) I retired from IBM in 2005. May the Lord be with us, charlesj

Hi jiggyfly: Yes it is a beautiful song especially since its one of the psalms. I loved it. Wish I could sing that way. I tried it one time and everybody left the building and the minister asked me to NEVER do that again. LOL Christ's Love, charlesj

Hey Rubber Ducky: Before you die, listen to Psalms 8 sung in Hebrew. http://wn.com/Psalm_8_sung_in_Hebrew BEAUTIFUL SONG, BEAUTIFUL LANGUAGE. I hope you learn the Hebrew and Greek. In His Name, charlesj
