CHURCHIANITY

"The word church, from the Old English kirke, was derived from the Greek kiklos, literally meaning circle, which was adapted circus, which was performed in a circle. The word assembly could appropriately be used, but church should be strenuously avoided. William Tyndale translated the Greek ekklesia as church two times in his Bible - both times in reference to pagan temples, otherwise it was translated congregation. This is the primary reason he was burned at the stake by the "church." We believe that kehilah is the most authentic word to use because it disconnects us mentally and emotionally from the modern nicolaitian or Laodicean church, which has truly become a circus."      ROOD
