"What does the word “ecclesiastical” mean?"

The word "ecclesiastical" does not appear in Scripture. This is one more of those transliterated, made up terms.

those that deny that that Christ founded a visible Church almost always deviate from orthodox, historical, biblical belief in major areas. they are embarrassed that there are whole centuries where they can’t find anybody who holds to their beliefs and with whom they would worship ( even though Jesus said the gates of hell would not prevail against His Church and He would be with us always, even to the end of the world )

i have a question for dutchboy88, is there a human person or institution that can infallibly state what the correct canon of Scripture is that ever lived or is every person supposed to accept or rejects books based on their own beliefs and therefore we can not know for sure what is Scripture and what is not? if there was or is such an authority, please name it and where did this authority come from? if there is not, please tell me why not?
finally, what do you base your belief on the correct canon of Scripture, human tradition of men?
