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.

Which territory did the Normans conquer in 1066?
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

1- The Anglo Saxon Kingdom / England.    

2- The Caliphate of Cordova / Spain.

Explanation:

1- The Norman Conquest of England occurred in 1066, after the Battle of Hastings, when the Norman army of Duke William, from France, defeated the English in the midst of a conflict regarding the succession of the kingdom of England.

After this event, England began a process of mixing with the French cultural components, which implied the modification of the language, and the demographic mixture between Nordic and French, giving rise to the English ethnic and cultural component that we know today, as well as a greater link of England with the rest of Europe.

2- The Caliphate of Cordova was the ruling state of Islamic Spain and North Africa between 929 and 1031. Starting in 1031, the caliphate was divided into smaller nations organized in the form of emirates, which facilitated the reconquest of Spain by Christianity, a process that culminated in 1492.

The Stamp Act was the first widely known acts of the Sons of Liberty which took place on August 14, 1765.
