>> The word “Church” comes from this word: http://www.teknia.com/greek-dictionary/kyriakos<<

That’s your reply? Seriously? Let’s take a look at that word.

Kuriakos - Definition: of the Lord, special to the Lord.

And it’s used twice in the New Testament.

1 Corinthians 11:20 When ye come together therefore into one place, this is not to eat the Lord's (kyriakon) supper.

Revelation 1:10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's (kyriakē) day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,

And that’s your justification for using the word “church” in place of ekklesia in scripture? Did I not say that the RCC has corrupted the meaning of scripture? Thank you for proving my point.

I made no justification for I need none. Every English translator of any note or recognized ability used the word “church” because it is universally recognized by English speakers. If you have a problem with the English language - which wouldn’t surprise me - that’s entirely your problem.

“Did I not say that the RCC has corrupted the meaning of scripture?”

Would it matter if you did? I have no reason to believe your opinion amounts to much.

“Thank you for proving my point.”

If your point was that anti-Catholics are embarrassingly dumb, it’s certainly been proven.
