[[@Topic:ecclesia]] ecclesia :
ecclesia - Israel in wilderness; ecclesia - usage of term See note; ecclesia - used not of church or believers See note

Note Greek. "To call out of" or "assembly".




ecclesia - Israel in wilderness :
Acts [[7:38|bible.65.7.38]]


ecclesia - usage of term :
Acts [[7:38|bible.65.7.38]]; Acts [[19:39|bible.65.19.39]]; Acts [[19:32|bible.65.19.32]]; Acts [[19:39|bible.65.19.39]]; Acts [[19:41|bible.65.19.41]]; Heb. [[2:12|bible.79.2.12]]

Note "This word [ecclesia] translated church or assembly is found in at least four important meanings in the New Testament. It is used (1) to mean an assembly of people. In this sense it has no special theological meaning. It can refer to Israel as a gathered people in the wilderness (Acts [[7:38|bible.65.7.38]]) or a regular assembly of citizens (Acts [[19:39|bible.65.19.39]]) or a group of people gather for a religious worship (Heb. [[2:12|bible.79.2.12]]). (2) The same word is used for an assembly of Christians in a local church (Acts [[8:1|bible.65.8.1]],Acts [[8:3|bible.65.8.3]]; Acts [[11:22|bible.65.11.22]],Acts [[11:26|bible.65.11.26]]) and in the plural for a group of such churches (1Cor. [[16:19|bible.67.16.19]]; Gal. [[1:2|bible.69.1.2]]). Each assembly or church has a local gathering composed of professed Christians. That all in the assembly are not necessarily true believers is clear from the messages to the seven churches of Asia (Rev. [[2:1-29|bible.87.2.1]]-3). (Rev. [[2:3|bible.87.2.3]]-3). (3) Ecclesia is also used of the total of professing Christians without reference to locality and is practically parallel in this sense to Christendom (Acts [[12:1|bible.65.12.1]]; Rom. [[16:16|bible.66.16.16]]; 1Cor. [[15:9|bible.67.15.9]]; Gal. [[1:13|bible.69.1.13]]; Rev. [[2:1-29|bible.87.2.1]], Rev. [[2:3|bible.87.2.3]]:Rev. [[2:1-22|bible.87.2.1]]; etc.). The same word is used (4) of the body of Christ, composed of those baptized by the Holy Spirit into the church (1Cor. [[12:13|bible.67.12.13]]). Ecclesia used in this connection becomes a technical word referring to the saints of this age." Ref-0081, p. 225. The term is also used to describe non-believers (ἐκκλησια is used in Acts [[19:32|bible.65.19.32]], Acts [[19:39|bible.65.19.39]], Acts [[19:41|bible.65.19.41]], to describe the Diana-worshiping mob of Ephesians). Ref-0200 Volume 149, Vol. 149, (1992): 261.




ecclesia - used not of church or believers :
Acts [[7:38|bible.65.7.38]]; Acts [[19:32|bible.65.19.32]]; Acts [[19:39|bible.65.19.39]]; Acts [[19:41|bible.65.19.41]]

Note In Acts [[7:38|bible.65.7.38]] Stephen is quoting from the Septuagint which renders the Hebrew term for congregation as ecclesia. This explains the atypical use of ecclesia.

[[@Topic:echad]] echad :
echad - compound one See note


echad - compound one :
Gen. [[1:5|bible.1.1.5]]; Gen. [[2:21|bible.1.2.21]]; Gen. [[2:24|bible.1.2.24]]; Gen. [[3:22|bible.1.3.22]]; Gen. [[10:25|bible.1.10.25]]; Gen. [[11:6|bible.1.11.6]]; Deu. [[6:4|bible.5.6.4]]; 2S. [[2:25|bible.10.2.25]]; Eze. [[37:17|bible.26.37.17]]

Note echad, [[HebrewStrongs:h259]] "The famous shema (Deu. [[6:4|bible.5.6.4]]), the most fundamental saying about God for a Jew, declares, 'Hear, O Israel: Jehovah our Elohim is one Jehovah.' Far from declaring that the God of the Bible is a singular being, the Hebrew word translated 'one' is echad, which means a unity of several becoming one, as when God said the man and woman became 'one [echad] flesh' (Gen. [[2:24|bible.1.2.24]]); when many soldiers became 'one [echad] troop' (2S. [[2:25|bible.10.2.25]]) or when two sticks became 'one [echad] stick' (Eze. [[37:17|bible.26.37.17]])." Ref-0017, February 2000. "The combination of evening and morning [Gen. [[1:5|bible.1.1.5]]] comprised the unity of echad, or one day. . . There is another Hebrew word which always means an absolute one: yachid. It is used in Gen. [[22:2|bible.1.22.2]], where it emphasizes Isaac as Abraham's only, unique son. So, if Moses had wanted to emphasize absolute oneness of God, he would have used the term yachid. But he did not use that term for the oneness of Gd. Deu. [[6:4|bible.5.6.4]] is, therefore, an argument in favor of the plurality of the Godhead since the word for 'God' is plural and, at the same time, it teaches the unity of this plurality of the one God." Ref-0067, Fall 2002, p. 6.
