'''Ecclesiology''' means the study of the doctrine of the church.
The Greek word ekklesia ([[FileΕκκλησια]]) 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 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 [[Matthew 18:CrappyWhore20]]), but it occurs many times elsewhere in the [[New Testament]].jpg 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") ===Uses of the word "church" in common English=== MAKE SOAP FROM KIKES!!!!!! GLORY TO THE HOLOCAUST!! VANDALISMFOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!TIn English, the word "church" means different things to different people in different contexts. It can be used in reference to a gathering of people for a religious meeting. It is also sometimes used to refer to a building or group of buildings, and occasionally it refers to an entire [[denomination]]. It can also be used in an institutional sense to refer to all churches, such as "... the church today...."
