Which of the Gospels use the term "church"? Matthew, Luke & John, or Mark

History

Leya [2.2K]3 years ago

It depends on the version of the Bible you're using, but in the King James Version (and most other versions) the only gospel to use the word "church" is Matthew. The word comes up in Chapter 16 and again in Chapter 18.

It's problematic, because the two times Matthew uses the word "church" in the King James Version, he's actually using two different words in the original Greek. In fact, the Gospel writers didn't really have a word for "church," at least as it's used today. The first time, in Matthew 16:18, the original Greek word  "oikodomeso," which literally means "I shall be building a home." So basically Jesus is telling Matthew that "upon this rock I shall be building my home," which is understood to mean that Jesus is establishing a place where for his followers can gather. The second time the word "church" comes up, in 18:16, the original Greek is "ekklesia," which means something like "those who are calling out." In this case, "church" refers not to a place but to a group of people.

The whole mess gets even more complicated because Jesus is making a pun in the first verse. Jesus is talking to Peter in that verse, and Peter's name literally means "rock." So Jesus isn't pointing to a literal rock that he'll build his church on; he's indicating that Peter will be the starting-point for gathering Christians into a church.

How did the greeks play a role in introducing democracy to the world?
Sliva [168]
It's a false legend promoted by today's democratic governments.

In fact democracy in Ancient Greece wasn't how we know it today:

-It was only limited at the city of Athen

-Only adult rich men born in Athen with both the parents citizens of Athen could vote, in fact that was a minority

Most important
-People absolutely didn't like democracy, not who couldn't vote, they didn't care, but philosophers like Plato.

If you want I'll link sources in the comments, now I'm not at home.

Stells [14]

Answer:

Option 4. Political parties.

Explanation:

The presidential primaries (where the first candidates are elected) are a vital part of the US electoral process. And since nothing about them is laid on the constitution, it's up to the state governments to regulate them.

It's in this phase, where the political parties promote their candidates for the final elections, where only 2 candidates can participate.
