>>>Do you actually believe that the word ekklesia translates to the definition of “church” that the Catholics use? The Greek word ekklesia never once was used for organizations like the RCC.<<<

LOL! I really didn't know. I guess I never thought about anyone corrupting the scriptures that much :)

That said, I looked up the DRA translation of the Hebrews 12 passage, and, sure enough, the part about the church is missing:

"But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable angels in festal gathering, and to the assembly of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, and to God the judge of all, and to the spirits of the righteous made perfect, and to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant . . ." (Heb 12:22-24, DRA)

"But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, theheavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant . . . " (Heb 12:22-24, KJV)

Unbelievable! I guess if the Word of God doesn't fit, change it to make it fit! That sounds like something Scofield would do: not a "real" church.

Anyway, thanks for the heads-up.

Oh stick around! You will begin to understand just how much Catholics and Mormons corrupt scripture.

LOL Put on your full armor and make sure you are prayed up with the help of the Holy Spirit around here. The phrase “I believe in Jesus” doesn’t even mean the same thing to a Moron as it does in scripture. Their Jesus is a brother of Satan only Satan was bad and didn’t get a body and Jesus was good and got one.

That’s why we are here. Glad to see you here as well. You’ve been an asset.
