Wrong!
I gave you the correct translation, and so did your friend Mr. Strong.
Ekklesia is not a church by any stretch. It is an assembly, or congregation, not a corporation of men.
Of course it is...It's the church assembly...
Mat_18:17 And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church assembly: but if he neglect to hear the church assembly, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican.
And what assembly??? The church assembly...The Christian assembly...
And since you are admittedly not a part of the church, which assembly do you belong to???
Once more, e-s, you do not know what you're talking about, because you're ignorant of the Hebrew, the Greek, and the languages into which the Bible has been translated. For your information, here is the meaning of "ekklesia" in two different Greek-Enlish lexica: Strong's Number G1577
ἐκκλησία
ekklēsia
ek-klay-see'-ah

One such "ekklesia" was the silversmith's guild, which was summoned together to combat the inroads that the Gospel of Jesus was inflicting on their manufacture of idol statuettes. The story is found in Acts 19:23-41. Actually, the guild was having an unplanned wild-cat meeting, unlawfully assembled to deliberate on their problem with Christians. The word ekklesia is described in verse 25, and used in verses 32, 39, and 41.

e-s, you've been talking through your hat, trying to buy credibility by using terms about which you know very little. Please don't waste the bandwidth until you've learned enough yo be coherent, eh?
