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

History

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.

6. ____________________ are the most vulnerable roadway users.
notsponge [240]
<span>A. Pedestrians and bicyclists. They are the most vulnerable because they have little or no protection if they are struck by a motorized vehicle. Slow-moving vehicles (such as farm equipment) and vehicles towing trailers account for plenty of accidents. The National Agriculture Safety Database notes that as many as two out of three highway accidents involve a slow-moving vehicle. But those vehicles and their drivers are not the ones in a vulnerable position -- the weight and size of such vehicles protects their operators. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reported that in 2015, 5,376 pedestrians and 818 bicyclists lost their lives in crashes where they were hit by a motor vehicle. That was 18% of the traffic fatalities reported in that year.. </span>

Почему ландмейстерам были необходимы вассалы?
miskamm [114]

Answer:

A vassal needed economic resources to equip the cavalry he was bound to contribute to his lord to fight his frequent wars. Such resources, in the absence of a money economy, came only from land and its associated assets, which included peasants as well as wood and water.

Russian version:

Вассалу нужны были экономические ресурсы, чтобы вооружить кавалерию, которую он должен был предоставить своему господину для ведения частых войн. Такие ресурсы, в отсутствие денежной экономики, поступали только из земли и связанных с ней активов, которые включали крестьян, а также древесину и воду.

Sorry if the translation is incorrect I had to use goo.gle translate/Извините, если перевод правильный, мне пришлось использовать гугл переводчик.
