What Is Hell?

ekklesia means all professing Believers. In this sense ekklhsia takes on a meaning almost synonymous all with Christians. Paul said to the Romans, “the ekklhsiai (plural) of Christ salute you” (Rom. 16:16). To the Galatians Paul wrote that he had “persecuted the ekklhsia of God” (Gal. 13:13). In these statements no particular local assembly is in view. Paul is speaking of Christians everywhere. The Greeks has a perfectly good word foe "assemblly" "Συνέλευση " Pronounced Synélef̱si̱ " They didn't use ekklecia for the concept of "assembly". King James believers hijacked that distorted definition of "assembly"to rationalize the false translation. Thank you for the opportunity and good luck.

Um,,,,no. The Greek συναγωγὴν - synagōgēn and properly means synagogue.

It's used in James 2:2.

James 2:2 for if there may come into your synagogue (συναγωγὴν - synagōgēn) a man with gold ring, in gay raiment, and there may come in also a poor man in vile raiment,

Also found here.

Matthew 4:23 Jesus was going throughout all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues (συναγωγαῖς - synagōgais) and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every kind of disease and every kind of sickness among the people.

It's πανηγύρει and it's transliteration is panéguris and it means an "assembly place.

πανηγύρει - panéguris - "the public square, meeting place") – properly, an assembly-place where people met for a common purpose, especially to celebrate (commemorate) or be festive

Hebrews 12:23 to the general assembly (πανηγύρει - panēgyrei) and assembly (ἐκκλησίᾳ - ekklēsia) of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect,

>>They didn't use ekklecia for the concept of "assembly".<<

Acts 19:32 So then, some were shouting one thing and some another, for the assembly (ἐκκλησία - ekklēsia) was in confusion and the majority did not know for what reason they had come together. 33 And they drew Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews putting him forward. And Alexander beckoned with the hand, and would have made his defence unto the people.

Acts 19:39 But if ye inquire any thing concerning other matters, it shall be determined in a lawful assembly (ἐκκλησίᾳ - ekklēsia)

Are you sure your not in modern Greek instead of ancient Greek? Perhaps in the Hellenic Orthodox Church? Sioux City, Mason City, or Burlington?

Now I can understand why you want to divert away from our original discussion of hell but let's get back you it. You haven't shown where I was in error in Revelation 20:10. You did say I was wrong so please show where.
