Look at the original meanings of the words. Google it. The KJV translators would have been aware of it. Why would they do that?
No, you just throw shade in ignorance. Either do your homework, or hold your tongue.
I didn't quote the whole original post because most of it was irrelevant to my point, and I have no obligation to post irrelevant data. You throw shade at the NIV without even being certain of what the NIV says. So, instead of "I believe it is NIV", how about you do your own checking of facts.
If you're going to attempt to correct my punctuation, at least ensure yours is correct. The ellipsis has only three periods.
Please forgive me to say this that you may misunderstood the English word church and its historical principles. You have it correct that "ecclesia" is a Latin word not a Greek word which is "ekklesia" though the Latin has the equivalent to the Greek . The Kjv translators had it correct because the English word " church" is used to translate the Latin "ecclesia " equivalent to its Greek counterpart.
If you are honest, open-minded, not swayed by tradition, and take the time to actually study the topic, you will have to conclude that the KJV translators took one original manuscript word (I know there were only copies) and replaced it with a word that didn't appear in the original manuscripts.
Umm, lets take for granted your honesty, you didn't even deal with the Greek which is the same as the Latin word. You are just trying to impress me the Old High German word which we know the Kjb translators didn't ever used. You have it wrong my friend.
This is indeed a product of poor researched. The Shorter OED With historical principle explains that the Latin ecclesia is used to translale the English word Church which is equivalent to the Greek ekklesia.
Do your homework. I'm not trying to impress anybody. I'm just stating a fact. Believe what you want. What's it to me?
Alright, I would have to understand you. You need to check you facts first. Thank you
You are falsely accusing the King James translators of fraud, when you probably have no clue about their integrity, nor the number of manuscripts, printed texts, and translations they had on hand.
And how would you know? But if indeed they added one word, then the modern versions added thousands. So for the sake of one word -- presumably-- you wish to deride a translation?
To get very elementary, translation is not replacement. It is called translation for a reason. "Church" is the English equivalent of "ekklesia" (which you failed to properly spell even though you called it "the original word"). In the Greek it is ἐκκλησίᾳ (ekklēsia).
