HigherEd:

Which theology degree did Paul have before entering christian ministry?.. Don't get me wrong pastors have to learn before entering ministerial assignment but how they learn it varies from ministeries to ministeries... Also the content of curriculum would also cause conflicts as many ministeries differ in their interpretation of scriptures.

Kennyprince:
To waste your time arguing about which church is good or not is another vanity. If i have that kind of time, i will use it use it on sth less spiritual. how much more do we even know this GOD and his mind.

Intelligence wise you sound below a circus monkey, to think everyone in this country earns a 7 bucks per hour wage. Dude are you high on your pubic hair to even compare your short, bitter and brutish life to a college graduate working a fortune 500 block.

I don't even care if you rob a bank for living, you still stuck in your hellhole of insecurity, ritual killings and all the Ills bedevilling y'all in your space.

Why then does your tradition tend to oppose what is written in God's Word?

OLAADEGBU:


Is that the retired Pope depicted above?

Ubenedictus:
Luther 95 thesis was not about the deity, death and resurrection of Jesus in fact Catholics believe all those basic points, Catholics were the ones who defined all those basic points.

infact Luther believed the Catholic creed and believed Catholics were Christians, unlike you.

OLAADEGBU:


Who is Ben?

OLAADEGBU:


That is the main issue. The RCC represented by the pope does not preach the gospel especially when he had the opportunity to do so in the US Congress he was preaching humanist issues.

OLAADEGBU:


The pope had the opportunity to preach the gospel to the US congress when he last visited, did he preach the gospel? No.

OLAADEGBU:


As long as you agree that was one of the reason Martin Luther protested.

OLAADEGBU:


They were about how true and heavenly the Roman catholic dogmas were and that the pope was father of all.

Here are his 95 theses and what they were all about.

Ubenedictus:


this is semantics.

words take meanings that are different from their etymological sources, Church may be related to kirche in German and may simply mean gathering in a circle but the people of God has also used that same word with a different meaning I.e the gathering of Christians.


in meaning the Greek ekklesia is equivalent to the Latin ecclesiam and translated Church in English

MuttleyLaff:

You said word “church” comes from the Greek word ekklesia though.
Or are you going to deny that?

C'mon now, what do you plan to gain, from lying that you ever said "ekklesia and “church” mean and refer to the same thing"
You never said "ekklesia and church mean and refer to the same thing"

9inches:
I said ekklesia and church mean and refer to the same thing.

I am glad you accept and have admitted to typing that:"The word “church” comes from the Greek word ekklesia"
which I immediately responded to, that you're wrong in saying "The word “church” comes from the Greek word ekklesia"
as the word “church” NEVER came from the Greek word ekklesia

I had in detail shown you what the word, “church”, originally was known to be
I showed what the English word “church” came from

I showed you how the English word “church” on it's self, actually has pagan origins.
Showed that it has its derivation from the Old English word cir(i)ce, cyr(i)ce,
it is related to the Anglo Saxon word circay, it's related to the word kirk, in Scottish, related to the Latin word circus/circulous,
related to the Dutch word kerk, even related to the German word kirche.
I even, pointed out to you, that these words, all have associations, with "gathering in circles"

All these information gives some insight into Tyndales' understanding
Tyndale being aware of the sharp distinction between “church” and ekklesia
selected the word “church” to refer ONLY to buildings; and that is pagan temple(s) included
and used congregacion (i.e. congregation) to mean AND refer to "ekklesia"

I also showed you what the word, ekklesia is,
I showed why and how Jesus adopted the term ekklesis
I showed what the word, “church”, originally, used to mean.

I showed that the first Bible translation in English, has mentioned above, NEVER used, the word “church” for ekklesia
nor used the word “church” for any congregation of God's people
but the first Bible translation in English, rightfully used the word, “church”, ONLY for something else
That something else, clearly and without a doubt, was a temple for a gathering of pagans

Search the first bible translation to English, then share your finding
1/ Check to use how many times, the English word “church” was used or appeared in it
2/ Confirm what in reference to, was/were the number of times that the word “church” was used in it
