ecclesia : ecclesia - Israel in wilderness; ecclesia - usage of term ; ecclesia - used not of church or believers

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


ecclesia - Israel in wilderness : Acts 7:38
ecclesia - usage of term : Acts 7:38; Acts 19:32; Acts 19:39; Acts 19:41; Heb. 2:12

"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) or a regular assembly of citizens (Acts 19:39) or a group of people gather for a religious worship (Heb. 2:12). (2) The same word is used for an assembly of Christians in a local church (Acts 8:1,3; 11:22,26) and in the plural for a group of such churches (1Cor. 16:19; Gal. 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. 2-3). (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; Rom. 16:16; 1Cor. 15:9; Gal. 1:13; Rev. 2:1-29, 3:1-22; 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). 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, 39, 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; Acts 19:32; Acts 19:39; Acts 19:41

✪ In Acts 7:38 Stephen is quoting from the Septuagint which renders the Hebrew term for congregation as ecclesia. This explains the atypical use of ecclesia.

echad : echad - compound one
echad - compound one : Gen. 1:5; Gen. 2:21; Gen. 2:24; Gen. 3:22; Gen. 11:6; Deu. 6:4; 2S. 2:25; Ps. 110:1 (see Mark 12:29); Eze. 37:17; Mark 12:29 (see Ps. 110:1)

echad, h259 "The famous shema (Deu. 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); when many soldiers became ‘one [echad] troop’ (2S. 2:25) or when two sticks became ‘one [echad] stick’ (Eze. 37:17)." Ref-0017, February 2000. "The combination of evening and morning [Gen. 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 Genesis 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. Deuteronomy 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. ". . . there are only two basic views regarding any trinitarian discussion [of Deu. 6:4]: (1) the text speaks of the uniqueness of Yahweh, or (2) it describes the unity of Yahweh. Daniel Block offers the most cogent set of significant arguments for the former viewpoint. [Daniel I. Block, “How Many Is God? An Investigation into the Meaning of Deuteronomy 6:4– 5,” JETS 47, no. 2 (June 2004): 193–212.]" William D. Barrick, Inspiration and the Trinity, Ref-0164 24/2 (Fall 2013) [2013121101.pdf], 179-197, p. 195. "One often neglected aspect of this debate [concerning echad in Deu. 6:4] deserves attention, however, and that is the Markan context itself. In the immediately following context of Mark 12:29 Jesus forcefully cites Ps 110:1 to demand that His hearers consider what it means for David to call the Messiah his “Lord” (Mark 12:36). Rikk E. Watts observes a significant relationship between Jesus' use of Ps 110:1 and Deut 6:4 as follows, What is striking is that Jesus has just responded to the good scribe by declaring the Lord our God, the Lord is one (Mark 12:29). What then might it mean for Mark's Jesus himself immediately thereafter to draw attention to David's calling the Messiah “Lord”? It seems that one possible answer to Watts' question involves the intent of Jesus to demonstrate that the “one” in Deut 6:4 includes two Lords." William D. Barrick, Inspiration and the Trinity, Ref-0164 24/2 (Fall 2013) [2013121101.pdf], 179-197, p. 196. ". . . there are other competing views [of echad in Deu. 6:4] besides those of either unity or singularity—others argue for a meaning of uniqueness (in the sense of incomparability) or even exclusivity (meaning that there is only one God for Israel to worship). Some scholars combine two or more of these four concepts in their interpretation of this text." William D. Barrick, Inspiration and the Trinity, Ref-0164 24/2 (Fall 2013) [2013121101.pdf], 179-197, p. 196.
