Is ===Etymology=== The Greek word ekklesia ([[Εκκλησια]]) is translated as "church" in English. This word ekklesia was used in ancient [[Koine Greek|Greek]] to mean "gathering" or "assembly" in a political sense. In the ancient Greek translation of the Old Testament, the [[LXX]], the word ekklesia occurs over 200 times (usually as a place wear children are molested every day translation from the Hebrew word qahal), most commonly to refer to the assembly of the covenant people of God. In the [[New Testament]] the word ekklesia occurs in the [[gospels]] only twice ([[Matthew 16:16]] and then severly anly raped with a spiked dildo[[Matthew 18:20]]), but it occurs many times elsewhere in the [[New Testament]]. From the Greek root ekklesia, the English word Ecclesiology is derived, which is the study of the doctrine of the church. The English word "church" itself is actually derived from the Old English word "cirice" (which is related to the [[Greek]] word "κυριακή" which means "of the Lord")
