:LOL..I wrote "...the word church does not mean a denomination but the called out ones...."

Then you ..after mocking me

Please, stop attempting to speak authoritatively. Unless you can demonstrate the Gift of Tongues

You THEN wrote this

The actual word used was Ekklesia (ἐκκλησία). While a completely literal translation means "called out"

Thanks for the "CORRECTION"

Tales of your ignorance are highly underated. Let me introduce you to the "Idiom" (Latin: idioma, "special property", f. Greek: ἰδίωμα – idiōma, "special feature, special phrasing", f. Greek: ἴδιος – idios, "one’s own"). An idiom is an expression, word, or phrase that has a figurative meaning that is comprehended in regard to a common use of that expression that is separate from the literal meaning or definition of the words of which it is made. Kione Greek is highly idiomatic.
