Have you ever wondered why the term 'ecclesia' is often equated with 'church,' despite its true meaning as 'called out ones'—referring to people, congregation, assembly, or community? How has this translation influenced our interpretation of certain Bible verses? Join us on a thought-provoking journey as we delve into the implications of this mistranslation. As you uncover the genuine origins of the word 'church,' you'll realize how it was imposed by a malevolent ruler to exert control over God's people and restrict their sphere of influence. Ecclesia Communities seeks to unravel and shed light on these deceptive traditions, distinguishing between those with sinister roots and those borne out of good intentions. These traditions have piled up over time and cloud our way back to the truth of God's Word regarding: • Who we really are in Christ. • What our role is in our communities. • What is our full mission. This book is a start at clearing away distracting and misleading traditions. There is much more to do as we, Jesus' ecclesia, His hands, and feet, "make all things new". We have work to do!
