WHY CAN’T?: (WE DO GIVE!) – Five Reasons The Church is Local and Visible and Can\u2019t be Universal or Invisible by Kris Minefee<\/strong>\ufeff<\/strong>ASK QUESTIONS!<\/a> – Read Study Learn Teach<\/a>BAPTIST CHURCH HISTORY<\/a> – A WARNING – WOLF WATCH MINISTRY<\/a>Five Reasons The Church is Local and Visible and Can\u2019t be Universal or Invisible<\/a>Kris Minefee<\/a>
REASON 1: THE DEFINITION OF THE WORD<\/strong>The Greek word, Ekklesia is translated church in the New Testament. Strong\u2019s Concordance says ekklesia is from a compound ek and kaleo. It is translated in the Authorized version \u2013 church 115 times, assembly 3 times for a total 118 times. In New Testament times it was a gathering of citizens called out into a public place as an assembly. Since ekklesia was an assembly it was local. By its definition it cannot mean unassembled and scattered (universal) and at the same time mean a group of people coming together in one place (local). A word cannot have two contradictory meanings. It is either local or universal; the rules of logic prohibit it from being both and the definition shows that it can only be local.
REASON 2. HISTORY AND ETYMOLOGY OF THE WORD<\/strong>Ecclesia is a compound word formed from the words \u201cek\u201d and \u201ckaleo\u201d meaning \u201cout of\u201d and \u201cto call\u201d respectively. In the Greek city states of the past, the word ekklesia was a group of people called out by a town crier or trumpeter to assemble for the purpose of carrying out city business. There is an example of such an assembly (ekklesia) in Acts 19:32-39.Acts 19:32 Some therefore cried one thing, and some another: for the assembly was confused; and the more part knew not wherefore they were come together.Acts 19:32 Some therefore cried one thing, and some another: for the assembly was confused; and the more part knew not wherefore they were come together.First, the Greek term which basically means \u201ccalled out\u201d was commonly used to indicate an assembly of citizens of a Greek city and is so used in Acts 19:32, 39. The citizens who were quite conscious of their privileged status over against slaves and noncitizens were called to the assembly by a herald and dealt in their meetings democratically with matters of common concern. When the early Christians understood themselves as constituting a church, no doubt exists that they perceived themselves as called out by God in Jesus Christ for a special purpose and that their status was a privileged one in Jesus Christ \u2013 Holman Bible Dictionary.Jesus did not create a new word, He simply took a word already in common use and made it His own, qualifying it as His ekklesia, His assembly.Matthew 16:18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.It was understood as a local assembly then and could not be understood as universal since something that is universal cannot be assembled and an assembly cannot be made universal. The words by their definition and history are mutually exclusive. One is the opposite of the other. Something cannot be a universal and at the same time assembled.Words and language mean nothing if we don\u2019t hold to their accepted and logical definition and use.
REASON 3. COMPARING SCRIPTURE WITH SCRIPTURE<\/strong>1 Corinthians 1:2 \u2013 Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and oursGalatians 1:2 \u2013 And all the brethren which are with me, unto the churches of Galatia:1 Thessalonians 1:1 \u2013 Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the church of the Thessalonians which is in God the Father and in the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.The vast majority of the 118 uses of the word ekklesia in the New Testament scriptures shows they refer directly to a local, visible assembly, ie., a group of people coming together to carry out the Lord\u2019s work in a specific location in Ephesus, Colossi, Philippi, or meeting in a house such as Philemon.This is the most straight-forward, simple way to understand the church.
THE PROOF TEXT FOR THE UNIVERSAL CHURCH<\/strong>In Ephesians, Paul uses the church as an illustration about husband and wife relationships.Ephesians 5:23-32 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.Nothing in the passage would change the understanding of the Ephesians from a local church body to a universal invisible body. They would understand the illustration only in terms of a local visible church.(Would they picture a universal wife, or an invisible wife? How would such a marriage work?)When all the members of all the churches are in heaven (Revelation 19) then the Lord will take His bride, but it will still be a visible and local assembly.Nothing in Ephesians 5 negates or modifies the definition or history of the word used 111 times directly referring to a local visible assembly.
REASON 4. THE INSTITUTIONAL SENSE OF CHURCH<\/strong>Matthew 16:18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.Here the word ekklesia is used in a way which does not directly refer to a local, visible assembly, instead it is used in an institutional sense.To refer to the institution of the church means that once Jesus established the church it would continue to exist and grow. It refers to all true churches in existence at any one time.Jesus uses the word church, in this verse, in the same way a entrepreneur might use it in talking about his business plan, \u201cI will build my business and the competition will not beat it out.\u201d Yet if you asked him to show you his business he would then take you to a local store, or several local stores. This \u201cbusiness\u201d would grow into more and more stores each one in several locations, but all of them visible and local. The same is true of the church as an institution, it is a generic or abstract term which in no way contradicts or even modifies the traditional common usage of the word in the New Testament.Though the church exists as an institution, this does not mean it is something other than a local, visible assembly. Any time an example of the institution is seen, it is a local, visible body.
REASON 5. THE AUTHORITY OF CHRIST AS HEAD OF THE CHURCH<\/strong>Ephesians 1:22-23 And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all. \u2013Ephesians 4:15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:Colossians 1:18 \u2013 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.If the church is universal then Jesus cannot be the head of the local church, but only of the invisible, universal church. Now in order for the visible church on earth to function it must be under the authority of a Pope, a Bishop, Synod, a Presbytery or council.Another authority other than Christ takes power over the local church. This is exactly what has happened to many so called Christian Churches throughout history.This is one of the great dangers of the Universal, Invisible Church belief.The error of the universal, invisible church began not in a study of scripture but in opposition to the error of the Universal Visible church which was the Roman Catholic church. Protestants, not wanting to be associated with the Roman Church, argued that the church was not a universal visible church, with its head the pope at Rome, to a universal invisible, with it\u2019s head in heaven. Though this rightly denied the Pope as the head of the Lord\u2019s Church, it ignored the authority and autonomy of the local church with Christ as her head.The pope was replaced with another extra-church authority and Christ was ignored in the leading of the local body.
CONCLUSION: WHY IT THIS IMPORTANT?<\/strong>A belief in the Universal, Invisible Church ultimately leads to weak local churches and ever stronger, over powering, denominational hierarchies. It denies that Jesus can and must be the head of each local assembly and replaces Him with a human authority.This leads to greater error as a fallible person now dictates to hundreds or thousands of churches.In addition, the abdicating of local church authority in carrying out the Great Commission results in weaker missions, weaker preachers and finally in much weaker churches.A belief in the universal, invisible church is not just a different opinion on the Lord\u2019s church, it is a church killing heresy and is one of the major reasons so many, who used to believe the Bible as the only rule of faith and practice, have now become nothing more than social clubs, preaching a easy believism to make the world a better place today instead of preaching the Gospel to save souls for eternity.

DON\u2019T CAST YOUR PEARLS BEFORE THE SWINE!<\/strong><\/strong>Matthew 7:6 & 10:14(KJV)
Way too much time is wasted doing this.As soon as you discern scoffing, mocking, or a need to convince you of what \u2018they\u2019 believe- it\u2019s more profitable to exit the conversation.We are to share the truth, but, when it becomes apparent that the truth is not welcome- that the conversation will be unfruitful-we are to move on.
We are responsible to share the truth, but we are not responsible for people\u2019s responses to it. Pigs don\u2019t appreciate pearls, and some people don\u2019t appreciate what Christ has done for them or His truth.\ufeffOur job is not to force conversions or cram the truth down people\u2019s throats; there\u2019s no sense in preaching the value of pearls to swine.
Jesus\u2019 instruction to His apostles on how to handle rejection was to simply go elsewhere.
There are other people who need to hear the gospel, and they are ready to hear it.On to the next one!Matthew 7:6 & 10:14(KJV)

DISAGREEMENT BETWEEN VERSIONS CAUSES CONFUSION<\/strong>by Bill Taylor<\/a>
A friend of mine needed to replace a worn-out Bible. He described his shopping experience:An entire wall was dedicated to the sale of Bibles. Impressed, I headed to that section.  This should be quick and easy, <\/em>I thought, but I became quite confused. Some of the Bibles is saw were The Voice Bible (2012), <\/em>the Tree of Life Bible (2014), Third Millennium Bible (1998), Today\u2019s New International Version (2005), The Holy Bible: Jah International Version (2017), The Story Bible (1971), Simple English Bible (1980), The Scriptures (revised 2009), Revised English Bible (1989), Revised Standard Version Second Catholic Edition (2006), Revised Standard Version (1952), New Revised Standard Version (1989), Revised New Jerusalem Bible, (2019), New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (2013 Revised), New Living Translation (1966), New King James Version (1982), King James Version (1611, 1769), New International Version (2011), New International Version Inclusive Language Edition (1996), English Standard Version (2016), New American Standard Bible (2020), The Message (2002), The Living Bible (1971) Good News Bible (1976) . . . <\/em>the available selections went on and on! How am I ever going to choose? Is there a Bible right for me?There are large Bibles, small Bibles, pocket-sized Bibles, partial Bibles, large-print Bibles, interlinear Bibles, study Bibles, Bibles bearing people\u2019s or ministry names . . . Wow! Trying to select one was not<\/em> going to be easy. As a matter of fact, it was overwhelming! Some say the KJV is hard to understand because of outdated language. I selected some passages in a few translations to see which was easiest to understand. I was surprised at what I read: Psalm 10:5<\/strong>KJV:  <\/em>His ways are always grievous<\/strong>; thy judgments are far above out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them.ESV: <\/em>His ways prosper at all times<\/strong>; your judgments are on high, out of his sight as for all his foes, he puffs at them.NASB:  <\/em>His ways prosper at all times<\/strong>; Thy judgments are on high, out of his sight; as for all his adversaries, he snorts at them.NIV:<\/em>  His ways are always prosperous<\/strong>; he is haughty, and your laws are far from him; he sneers at all his enemies.NKJV:  <\/em>His ways are always prospering<\/strong>; Your judgments are far above, out of his sight; as for all his enemies, he sneers at them.Now this is interesting. The KJV (which has been around for about 400 years) seems to be out of step with these more modern translations\u2014at least that is what some writers claim. I compared a few other passages.\ufeff<\/strong> <\/strong><<< (CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING THE ENTIRE ARTICLE) >>> DISAGREEMENT BETWEEN VERSIONS CAUSES CONFUSION by Bill Taylor<\/a>

Brief History of the King James Bible<\/strong>By Dr. Laurence M. Vance<\/strong>
       As the reign of Elizabeth (1558-1603) was coming to a close, we find a draft for an act of Parliament for a new version of the Bible: “An act for the reducing of diversities of bibles now extant in the English tongue to one settled vulgar translated from the original.” The Bishop’s Bible of 1568, although it may have eclipsed the Great Bible, was still rivaled by the Geneva Bible. Nothing ever became of this draft during the reign of Elizabeth, who died in 1603, and was succeeded by James 1, as the throne passed from the Tudors to the Stuarts. James was at that time James VI of Scotland, and had been for thirty-seven years. He was born during the period between the Geneva and the Bishop’s Bible.
One of the first things done by the new king was the calling of the Hampton Court Conference in January of 1604 “for the hearing, and for the determining, things pretended to be amiss in the church.” Here were assembled bishops, clergymen, and professors, along with four Puritan divines, to consider the complaints of the Puritans. Although Bible revision was not on the agenda, the Puritan president of Corpus Christi College, John Reynolds, “moved his Majesty, that there might be a new translation of the Bible, because those which were allowed in the reigns of Henry the eighth, and Edward the sixth, were corrupt and not answerable to the truth of the Original.”
The king rejoined that he:
“Could never yet see a Bible well translated in English; but I think that, of all, that of Geneva is the worst. I wish some special pains were taken for an uniform translation, which should be done by he best learned men in both Universities, then reviewed by the Bishops, presented to the Privy Council, lastly ratified by the Royal authority, to be read in the whole Church, and none other.”Accordingly, a resolution came forth:
“That a translation be made of the whole Bible, as consonant as can be to the original Hebrew and Greek; and this to be set out and printed, without any marginal notes, and only to be used in all churches of England in time of divine service.”The next step was the actual selection of the men who were to perform the work. In July of 1604, James wrote to Bishop Bancroft that he had “appointed certain learned men, to the number of four and fifty, for the translating of the Bible.” These men were the best biblical scholars and linguists of their day. In the preface to their completed work it is further stated that “there were many chosen, that were greater in other men’s eyes than in their own, and that sought the truth rather than their own praise. Again, they came or were thought to come to the work, learned, not to learn.” Other men were sought out, according to James, “so that our said intended translation may have the help and furtherance of all our principal learned men within this our kingdom.”
Although fifty-four men were nominated, only forty-seven were known to have taken part in the work of translation. The translators were organized into six groups, and met respectively at Westminster, Cambridge, and Oxford. Ten at Westminster were assigned Genesis through 2 Kings; seven had Romans through Jude. At Cambridge, eight worked on 1 Chronicles through Ecclesiastes, while seven others handled the Apocrypha. Oxford employed seven to translate Isaiah through Malachi; eight occupied themselves with the Gospels, Acts, and Revelation.
Fifteen general rules were advanced for the guidance of the translators:<\/strong>COMPLETE ARTICLE IS POSTED HERE: >>><\/strong> <\/strong>A Brief History of the King James Bible -By Dr. Laurence M. Vance (jesus-is-savior.com)<\/a>

KJV in Vietnam (purecambridgetext.com)<\/a>Paul Scott Dec 7, 2020 1 min read
I\u2019m not much of a facebook person, but recently a young Vietnamese man sent a note via fb. This is his note:\u201dHi teacher Paul, I has lived and taught in Hanoi for 1 year. And one study now are reading the KJV. Does anyone have your book in Hanoi.\u201dHe refers to English for Bible Readers, and we are trying to get him a copy. Well, this is a great blessing! Imagine, in Hanoi, the capitol of Vietnamese Communism, not only is there a Bible study, they are conducting a King James Bible study! (Many of the younger Vietnamese speak some level of English.)\u201cTherefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord\u201d (1 Cor. 15:58). Amen.
Pastor John Asquith, New York, USA: We live in a time when it seems everyone is trying their hand at writing about the King James Bible. Very few of these books and articles have anything new to offer. My surprise was great when I was given a copy of Paul Scott\u2019s excellent work, English For Bible Readers.Here was a book that filled a great void in explaining the vocabulary and the rules (grammar) for the English of the King James Bible. I have long rued the absence of such a book and have seen much mischief done by those ignorant of the rules for the King\u2019s English. This book was intended for Vietnamese Christians reading the King James Bible, but in providing for their need, Brother Scott has provided for his own nation\u2019s need. To God be the glory.I can only hope that the reader will find the same satisfaction in reading this work. I have spent thirty years studying the King James Bible, but I felt like a boy in short pants as I turned the pages of this book: I learned something from almost every page. Every Christian English program in every King James-believing school should have this book for a textbook.Pastor John Asquith, New York, USA\u201cI consumed English for Bible Readers in short order and am determined to get it into the hands of other men. \u2013 Pastor Stephen Charette, Massachusetts, USABefore approaching English for Bible Readers, I had no idea about the deep and wonderful vocabulary as well as the style of the King James Bible. I have seen many people using the other versions, which seem easier to read and understand. However, through this book, I realized that English for Bible Readers is indeed an accurate and wonderful aid in exploring the Bible. I am amazed at the way the King James Bible expresses God\u2019s Word, and thanks to Teacher Paul Scott\u2019s work, I have explored many interesting revelations that may only exist in the King James Bible.As you read through English for Bible Readers, you will find this book a very helpful tool to understand more clearly about the powerful Word of God. Also, you can approach a larger knowledge of history, grammar etc, and above all, you can find many answers to your very own needs in this book.It was a great pleasure for me to be the translator of English for Bible Readers-Vietnamese version. As a translator, and also as a young Vietnamese reader, I have found my inspiration from this source. My prayer is that all readers, especially the readers in Vietnam, will enjoy this book. An amazing point of view is waiting for you to explore and meditate.Teacher Bao Chau, VietnamEnglish for Bible Readersby Paul W.
