I have just recently been researching this, which is why I came here. This is another page that gives great detail to the word church and ekklesia http://ecclesia.org/truth/ekklesia.html I've only formally written out a few things regarding God and His Word. Here are the main two. I consider them to be essential basics but considering that essentials are essential that is very important. http://flying-hat.livejournal.com/tag/my+public+teaching I very much agree with you that we should teach whatever truth we find to those willing and able to listen.

Thanks for the insight. I really appreciate those who take the trouble to really read what's written here. I agree with you that the word 'church' might not be the best translation of what the original writers had in mind but it's what we have so we have to try to teach what was meant by being among "the called out ones." I'd like to read more of your thoughts so let me know where to find you. Have a blessed day. ?Emperor MAR?

Called out ones I think simply means called out to meet somewhere. Rather than a family staying at home by themselves they may go & worship God with another family in their home. The english word church has always been the wrong word to use for ekklesia as in context ekklesia seems to only refer to local assemblies. Here is some more info: http://www.bible-truth.org/Ekklesia.html As far as I have researched ekklesia never refers to "The Church" as in the universal body of Christ (all followers of Christ worldwide). The most interesting and important thing to me is that when the bible refers to the universal body of Christ it uses one of two terms, The Body of Christ or The Bride of Christ. Using the term The Church or even “The Called Out Ones” would be inaccurate and falling short. The names God gave His people acknowledge who they are of, that is of Christ. Even the name Israel has God's name in it. We are to be in Christ with our lives hidden with Christ in God (Colossians 3:3).

I'm glad you like it. We love you too, my brother. And we miss you. I'll update you in an email. The next installment on this blog will be a new book, "A Radical Discipleship." This one will be tough for many to hear. It was, and still is, tough for me too. Wes,
