Christian Identity & British Israelism and the varied doctrine

[Rose of Shushan]

Quote:Ekklesia does not mean 'belonging to the Lord', rather it means 'congregation' in English (from the Greek 'to be called out'). The Greek work for 'church' (kuriakos) appear in the bible twice; [1 Cor 11:20] and [Rev 1:10] both times as possessions of the Lord.

I always assumed that ekklesia meant congregation .I am not sure if I am missing a post where someone said that it means belonging to the Lord since I don't see who said this in the thread.

Quote:Before 1740 in Biblical translation, and in secular translation Ekklesia is translated 'congregation' not 'church', and of course 'congregation' (as in 'congregation of the Lord' ) is a Hebrew idiom found frequently in the old covenant (as in [Exo 12:3] and [Lev 19:2] etc.)

I am not following how the word congregation is a hebrew idiom.
There do seem to be a few words for congregation in the OT. In Lev19 12 and Exo 12 3, its adat.In Lev 4 14 it's kahal.

Quote:I agree that an unfulfilled covenant is different from a fulfilled one, (just as a marriage to an adulterous woman is different than a remarriage to her once she has learned fidelity).

I am not sure how you can agree with something I didn't say
I said that I saw both coherency and also big differences between the covenants.What I didn't mention was an unfulfilled covenant being different to a fulfilled one.
