LOL The twisted definition the Catholic Church has given to ekklesia has nothing to do with what Christ is the head of.

=============================================================

The Greek word "ekklesia" is defined in virtually all reputable Koine Greek Lexicons/Dictionaries as "church", and all of the major English translations of the Bible (including the King James Version), translate "ekklesia" as "church".

(See http://biblehub.com/text/colossians/1-18.htm, for a typical translation example.)

Are you saying that all those teams of Bible translators, and all those people who wrote those definitions for "ekklesia" in all the Koine Greek/English Lexicons/Dictionaries, got that word wrong, and you are the only one who has it right CynicalBear?

Do you think you know Koine Greek better than all those highly educated and skilled Greek language experts do? (Frankly, I certainly don't believe that, and I'm certain that only the most naive and gullible people here might think that that is the case.)
