Atheist Bible Study 1: Genesis

Drich

Let's start with the 'church' the church is a modern term but the KOINE' greek word from which it was derived is not too new to be used. the word being ἐκκλησία ekklēsia which simly translates into the modern word 'church'.

Let's not.
As you were educated on, a few pages back, your Koine Greek bullshit is irrelevant. No academic center makes that (two bit) distinction. Everyone knows what Greek is being discussed, (except you, apparently .... as you obviously have no formal education).

plus do you see how your rebuttals are lacking in any source material or actual fact? it's like we must simply take your word on things. as if you screen name carried any water. You are nobody understand you words carry no weight outside of what you can support and even then only so far as your source material will allow. meaning to not think you can topple primary source material with a tertiary commentary.

Oh really ? Kind of like this crap : do we see any source material ?
I GAVE you source material for the Jews regarding the "sons of God" ... you're nothing but a liar. Lying for Jebus. How quaint.

the Jews used the same word to describe their assemblies which is all this word means. an assembly of like minded believers coming together for the express purpose of worship or a religious meeting. Again the same word used for a jewish religious gathering so to say there was no 'modern church' is technically correct but people did gather for the purpose of worship and or religious meetings. The sermon on the mount, the olivet discourse where examples of Christ lead church services. Acts 20 there was a church service being held by paul in a small group on the second floor and "Seated in a window was a young man named Eutychus, who was sinking into a deep sleep as Paul talked on and on. and fell out." which is an example of Paul just a few years after Christ making this prediction is teaching in a 'church' or gathering on the very thing you said could not have even existed.

That said no 'church had to be built' the church describes a gathering of two or more coming together Christ is with them.. like right now according to Christ's own definition everytime we come together and talk about him or God your retarded butt has been collecting church hour points. not that they will do you any good, but you in this discussion are apart of church right now.

Don't be ridiculous. Jesus said PETER was the rock upon which the church was to be built, and at the time NOTHING about two or three. Your exegesis is nothing but total horseshit. Is Peter supposed to be at every meeting ? He was not in charge of the Jerusalem Church. Obviously some Roman fool wrote that in to authenticate Rome's authority. And the fool named Drich bought the garbage.

Now run along outside and play. The adults here don't need Third Graders interrupting.
You must get tired of being made a fool of, every day.

There was no "church" until much later.
At the end of the 1st Century, the High Priest was complaining about the members of the "Way" sect ... Christians, and required the expulsion curses be read.

"According to the Babylonian Talmud Tractate Berakhot 28b–29a, Shmuel ha-Katan was responsible for the writing of the Birkat haMinim:

"Rabban Gamaliel said to the sages: Is there no one who knows how to compose a benediction against the minim? Samuel Ha-Qatan stood up and composed it."[4]

The blessing (curse) exists in various forms. Two medieval Cairo Genizah copies include references to both minim and Notzrim ("Nazarenes", i.e. "Christians").

"For the apostates let there be no hope. And let the arrogant government be speedily uprooted in our days. Let the noẓerim and the minim be destroyed in a moment. And let them be blotted out of the Book of Life and not be inscribed together with the righteous. Blessed art thou, O Lord, who humblest the arrogant" (Schechter)."

BTW, I have some bad news for you. Someone falling out a window is not evidence there was a "church". Doh.
