"The assemblies of Diana of the Ephesians were called "ekklesias."; Bringing Back Goddess Church

In the Greek language, the assemblies of Diana of the Ephesians were called ekklesias, which is translated into English as "churches."

"So that not only this our craft is in danger to be set at nought; but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana should be despised, and her magnificence should be destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worshippeth" (Acts 19:27).  

"For ye have brought hither these men, which are neither robbers of churches (ekklesias), nor yet blasphemers of your goddess." (Acts 19:37).

"Some therefore cried one thing, and some another for the ASSEMBLY (ekklesia) was confused; and the more part knew not why they were come together" (Acts 19:32).  

"But if ye inquire any thing concerning other matters, it shall be determined in a lawful ASSEMBLY  (ekklesia)" (Acts 19:39).

Another monument to the power of the Risen Christ....The temple of Diana of the Ephesians in Turkey was one of the 7 wonders of the ancient world, but nothing remains today . . . except ruins....However, her ekklesias or churches have found their way into most translations of the Bible.

The New Testament of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ was written in Greek

The records of the birth, life, death and Resurrection of the Son of God were written in Greek —the language of the 3rd universal empire.

The history of the early Christians and all the translations of the New Testament into the languages of the ancient world were made from the Greek language. In the Greek tongue, an ASSEMBLY or group of people was called an ekklesia:

" . . .that the Greek word, meaning etymologically 'the body of the ekklesia or select counsellors' was the name given by Solon to the public formal assembly of the Athenian people, and hence to the similar public assemblies of other free Greek cities" (Oxford English Dictionary).

The word ekklesia meant an assembly of pagan Greeks meeting to discuss their false gods.

In the Book of Acts chapter 19, it is used to describe the meeting places of the worshippers of Diana of the Ephesians.

The Latin word for God's people was CONGREGATION!!

In the Hebrew OLD Testament, the name for God's people was QAHAL. The Latin equivalent was CONGREGATION. In the pre-Jerome Latin Bible, which was translated from Greek into Latin around 150 A.D., and called the Italic version, QAHAL is translated as CONGREGATION. This is the CORRECT translation. JEHOVAH's people were called His CONGREGATION over 300 times in the Latin Old Testament. His CONGREGATION consisted mostly of Jews and salvation was by RACE.

Jesus is the Son of God or the JEHOVAH of the Old Testament. He did not come to build a "CHURCH" or even to start a new CONGREGATION. He came to open the CONGREGATION to ALL THE WORLD so that salvation would be by GRACE . . . and not by RACE....Jesus said to His disciples:

"And other sheep I have, which are not of this (Israel) fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be ONE fold, and ONE shepherd" (John 10:16).

St. Peter confessed that Jesus was JEHOVAH!!

In the Old Testament; when the Son of God, or the Angel of the Lord appeared to the Jews, he was WORSHIPPED as God or JEHOVAH:

"When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?

And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.

He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?

And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.

And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church (ekklesia); and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it" (Matthew 16:13-18).

In the English Bible, the word CHURCH was substituted for CONGREGATION. This is the CORRECT and only translation of the Greek word ekklesia.

Latin is the father of the Spanish, French, Portuguese and Italian languages, but they still retain the CORRUPT word ekklesia when describing the New Testament congregation of Christ.

The English word "CHURCH" comes from CIRCE!!

The Greek word ekklesia is translated as CHURCH in English. Church or kirke comes from the Greek goddess CIRCE who specialized in turning men into PIGS....Here is the definition of the word "CHURCH" from the FINAL AUTHORITY on word meanings: the Oxford English Dictionary:

"CHURCH: FORMS: (a) cirice, cyrice, chiriche, churiche, chereche, (b) CIRCE, cyrce, chyrce, cirke, etc., etc., "The ulterior derivation has been keenly disputed. The L. circus, and a Gothic word kélikn 'tower, upper chamber' (app. originally Gaulish) have both been proposed (the latter suggested by the Alemannic chilihha), but are set aside as untenable; and there is now a general agreement among scholars in referring it to the Greek word, properly kurion adj. 'of the Lord, dominicum, dominical' (f. Kurios lord), which occurs, from the 3rd century at least, used substantively (sc. doma, or the like) = 'house of the Lord', as a name of the Christian house of worship.

Of this the earliest cited instances are in the Apostolical Constitutions (II. 59), a 300, the edict of Maximinus (303-13), cited by Eusebius (Eccl. Hist. ix. 10) a 324, the Councils of Ancyra 314 (Canon 15), Neo-Caesarea 314-23 (Can. 5), and Laodicea (Can. 28). Thenceforward it appears to have been in fairly common use in the East: e.g., Constantine named several churches built by him Kuriaka (Eusebius De Laud. Const. xvii),"(Oxford English Dictionary).

The Egyptian goddess Isis was the precursor of Circe, Diana and Cybele!!

About 100 years before the birth of Moses (1613 B.C.), Egypt became a world superpower and the most important and influential country in the world. The worship of the Egyptian trinity: Isis, Horus and Seth spread to the entire world. Pyramids and obelisks built on the Egyptian model are found everywhere. The ancient Mayans and Aztecs in the New World had pyramids copied from ancient Egypt.

CIRCE was a Greek goddess who turned men into PIGS!!

Semiramis was called Isis in Egypt. According to Homer, Circe was a witch who turned men into PIGS:

"CIRCE: In Greek and Latin mythology the name of an enchantress who dwelt on the island of Aea, and transformed all who drank of her cup into SWINE; often used allusively"(Oxford English Dictionary).
 
Most of the ancient world was familiar with the Greek Odyssey written by Homer. Anybody who read the New Testament could see immediately that the woman described in the book was none other than CIRCE— the filthy witch who turned men into PIGS.

"So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet colored beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.

And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH "

(Revelation 17:3-5)"
