CB Karl really meant to post this to you, but like most prots he can't follow a thread back far enough. Karl thanks for making the correction to your posse./SARC
Do you understand that Gospel means good news, and Ekklessia means Church?
Do you understand the total corruption of the word “church” that the Catholic Church has perpetrated?
So you are now clairvoyant and know a persons mind and intent? Wow!
Mind reading again to make a point I see. Don't you know that is against FR rules?
Ah you’re signaling Breatharian comments are coming!
You really can’t stick to a topic can you?
feel free to have the last word

Strong’s is a protestant Concordance.
You still don’t understand that that is the topic. God said not to do those things in serving Him. Catholics think they are serving God using pagan practices just as the Catholic Church states. Simply writing checks (which I don’t do) or looking at a calendar is not incorporated into serving God.
Yes gospel means good news...And Paul says if any are are teach or preach any other news than he taught, they are anathema...
Paul has no teachings outside the books of the bible...Pretty simple, isn't it...
Um,,,,yea,,,so? That still doesn’t change the fact that the Catholic Church has corrupted the term used in scripture regardless. And you will never find that I said that Protestants don’t incorporate errors. They did after all come out of the Catholic Church and have retained many of her errors. Thus the term “whore of Babylon and her daughters”.
Excellent rebuttal! Confusing them with the facts.
Show us some gospel that isn't scripture...
You really need some new artwork.....that picture is so 1964.
And that's the whole point of the article, isn't it? There are those who see Christ in every verse. There are others who see nothing but text and history.
Joh_1:45 Philip found Nathanael and said to him, "We have found him of whom Moses in the Law and also the prophets wrote, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph."
Luk_24:27 And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he interpreted to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.
That's goofy...(Greek) Ekklesia is translated as (English) (assembly or) church...
Church is not a definition of Ekklesia, it is a translation of the word into English...
Today the word church has a wide variety of meanings from referring to a building to performing a religion service. Although we need to understand the modern use of the word it is of little significance in understanding the use of the word in the New Testament. It is essential that we understand its original meaning as it was used in New Testament times. In order to establish a New Testament church we must first know what the word “church” means in Scripture.
In our English Bible the Greek word, “ekklesia” is translated in most places “church.” The word “ekklesia” is found in one hundred and fifteen places in the New Testament. It is translated in English one hundred and thirteen times “church” and the remaining times it is translated “assembly.” In classical Greek the word “ekklesia” meant “an assembly of citizens summoned by the crier, the legislative assembly.” The word as used in the New Testament is taken from the root of this word, which simply means to “call out.” In New Testament times the word was exclusively used to represent a group of people assembled together for a particular cause or purpose. It was never used exclusively to refer to a religious meeting or group.
An examination of the Greek word “ekklesia” reveals that the word is properly translated into English as the “assembly” or “congregation.” It is used to refer to a group of persons that are organized together for a common purpose and who meet together.
Strongs is a Protestant concordance? Since when did Greek become Protestant or catholic??
You are the only ranter I have seen on this thread, verga.
