New Living Translation
And if our hope in Christ is only for this life, we are more to be pitied than anyone in the world.
English Standard Version
If in Christ we have hope in this life only, we are of all people most to be pitied.
One of our "GREATEST" Enemy is "The Perfect ADVERSARY" and one of his greatest weapons, is called "DECEPTION" and he got that weapon as a "GIFT, " from "The LORD his GOD , who is "The ALMIGHTY GOD" The Maker of "ALL Creation"
Berean Study Bible
Am I now seeking the approval of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ.
And if our hope in Christ is only for this life, we are more to be pitied than anyone in the world.
English Standard Version
If in Christ we have hope in this life only, we are of all people most to be pitied.
So that is your "Justification" in proving me wrong. That GOD or JESUS The Anointed One "The WORD of GOD" never mention or called HIS followers or HIS people "the church" or "christians".
One of our "GREATEST" Enemy is "The Perfect ADVERSARY" and one of his greatest weapons, is called "DECEPTION" and he got that weapon as a "GIFT, " from "The LORD his GOD , who is "The ALMIGHTY GOD" The Maker of "ALL Creation"

so, who's agenda ?

" God, from all eternity, did, by the most wise and holy counsel of His own will, freely, and unchangeably ordain whatsoever comes to pass,"
I have also heard it is a derogatory name supposedly named by those who hate the gospel .That turned out to be lie, I would think it is a wile of the father of all lies. His goal to keep the division according to the outward flesh of a Jew and destroy the rigorousness of Zion the heavenly unseen city .
The father preaching the gospel in Isaiah below promised the righteousness of Christ is executed as salvation that the gentiles as well as the Jews together by the new named the father named the bride in Acts . . .Christian
Isaiah 62:1-2 For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth. And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory: and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the Lord shall name.
The word Christian in respect to the inspired foundation with no other meaning added represent the promise in Isaiah 62 of the beautiful city . The father renaming the bride of Christ the church previously caller her Israel (not all Israel is born again Israel as sons of God ). Some remain un converted as outward Jew according to the flesh Not born again Spirit of Christ .
The word used is a demonym . . a noun used to denote the natives or inhabitants of a particular country, state, city, etc. like Galatians residents of the city of Galatia named after it founder or any of the city as to groups of people .like the Nicolaitanes a sect
Christian with no other meaning added meaning;. . residents of the beautiful city prepared as the bride of Christ the church, named after Christ the husband
and founder .
A more befitting name as the bride of all nations .
Much of it according to my experience seems to have gotten lost. and confusion between the Jews and gentiles remains the same for some who do hope the flesh could profit for something . Even knowing we do not wrestle against flesh and blood.

But that Day When in The Twinkling of the eye "The SPIRIT of THE LIVING GOD" Touch My Soul! Wooooooo! And set my Soul ON FIRE! EveryBody knew! Many had never saw anything like it, in their life! Both Christians and non Christians THEY said they have never seen any thing like that in their Life! And I was not speaking in "TONGUES"! I was speaking in a "LANGUAGE" that everyone knew and It was about JESUS! And The Corporation owners say let him ALONE, and let him "Proclaim" "The Gospel ACCORDING To JESUS CHRIST" and I didn't even belong to any body's church! My daddy tried to stop me, But they told him to leave me alone! And let Me speak! And that day I told "hundreds if they didn't not Repent, that they was going to HELL! "Signs and Wonders".....And they was Listening, i could see it, in their eyes! And a many of them got saved and filled with the HOLY GHOST! and many said they wanted what I got, But not that much! some said. LOL! They watch me change before their eyes! Not in church, at my place of employment! yes they did! When i got home, i was not the same man!
And my wife as time went past. She told me you are not the same man i married. and it hurt her! I sold my "motorcycle", i stop taking her dancing, , i did not smoke weed any more i did not party any more, But i didn't stop her. I just told her i would prefer her to stay at home. I went back to college, I took care of the kids... Church people told her i was going to get my degree and get another wife and leave her. You talking about demonic attacks from church people, it almost drove her crazy. Jealousy is Cruel as the grave! My wife is a unregenerated person! And they kept feeding her stuff like that! Like she has become a person "BORN of GOD" So many lies told to her by the churches and church people! They are going to pay a cost, what they done to my family!
Most churches treat their members like all of them are "Born of GOD" "Born of His SPIRIT" and a lot of people do not like liars, and especially people who love to lie about the ways of GOD! Giving people a false since of "Security ". But when they find out about the lies that are being told by there own personal study! They do not want no part of the christian life! They like Jesus, but the christians are another thing. It is a known fact In "The JUDICIAL System" that christians are know to be liars! But they need your vote! Christians have a bad reputation. I been all over these United States , i know what people say about christians.
Only christians church going people give a good report about one another. But you are reliable voters So you are not going to be told the truth about what they think of you and how you are...! THEY OWN MY WIFE SO MUCH MONEY! PASTOR, PASTORS WIVES, DEACONS, AND MEMBERS OF THE MANY CHURCHES! I told her one day stop taking appointments form church going christians! These people are not poor, They go on cruises, vacations, Disney World, fly out of the country and brag to her where they been and they will not pay their "Bills". My wife have cried a many of nights form these christian"patients' who will not pay her, but live, Lavish lives. Known fact in the professional community!
The Truth sometimes hurt. And for me, i got more trust in a non christian or "Atheist" or a Muslim than a christian that says He believes in Jesus Christ or GOD!

PloughBoy, you stepped in it. Own it. (Or do you believe yourself to be unable to make mistakes?)
I'm a bit surprised that you would imply that Jesus never said these words: "εαν δε παρακουση αυτων ειπε τη εκκλησια εαν δε και της εκκλησιας παρακουση εστω σοι ωσπερ ο εθνικος και ο τελωνης" (or their Aramaic equivalent).
I think the following quote here is very deceptive:
... because there wasn't a word added to the translation. That's how the word WAS translated: εκκλησια - church.
Another deceptive quote is this:
... because your assertion is flat out wrong. These words ARE mentioned, even if they are from an English translation. Now if you think it's better to use the word Ekklesia (where the Greek word is left untranslated in an English translation, like the word Christ) then by all means say that. But you didn't. Obviously you have a gripe with what is called the "church" today, and in all honesty, that's your problem. But it's a bit ridiculous to say that these two words are not in the Bible; and this world sure doesn't need more ridiculousness.
As of this point ....
.... still waiting...

So you have come to your conclusion of the matter base on a modern day Lexicon pertaining to a "Manuscript" that was written over 1900 plus years ago before "lexicons" or any kind of Dictionary ever existed. And here comes a " Pagan King & A POPE" who rules The WORLD, and at their command, be the powers that be, Will take your "HEAD OFF" be you man, woman, or Child
If you do not translate or read the "BOOK" as we say! We determine what is written and added to definitions in "LEXICONS" concerning the "BIBLICAL Text"and words and the New translation in which I have "AUTHORIZE" "KING JAMES' Which is known as "The AUTHORIZE Version" "AV" That many refers to as "THE "KJV". And this power gives me all AUTHORITY over the Church and the people, and gives The Authority of The CHURCH over all People, meaning the people of GOD! and to resist this Power means resisting "The LORD GOD ALMIGHTY" and JESUS Christ HIS SON. Satan is The Perfect ADVERSARY" and We are called to "BE wise as Serpents and Harmless as DOVES"PS... Please do not mention the Corrupted "Vulgate"
If you cannot understand "The elementary of The Perfect ADVERSARY" and his PURPOSE, for many are still yet "children" and Have not yet, become "Sons".
And this truth does not come by head knowledge, It must be Reveled, Through The SON of The LIVING GOD by The WILL of "The EVERLASTING FATHER"
And This "Manifestation" can not come by the will of A man. Nor can it be Taught by one.
For i am not anyones teacher neither can i be, or teach anyone anything. About GOD or religion, But One thing I can do, I can point "The WAY"! "JESUS CHRIST"! Read the BOOK for yourself!

The word that is in The Original Copied Manuscript is "The Congregation" of GOD's people or the meaning "The Assembly" of GOD's People.
[ Plainly understood THE DAY IT was spoken and written]
"Jesus said" Upon this"Petra" ROCK I will build MY "Congregation" and The Gates of Hell will not prevail!"
And not 'upon this "Petros" [stone] i will build my "Church" [circe] and the Gates of Hell will not prevail"
Jesus is [The STONE], [The CORNERSTONE] [The SOLID ROCK], the builders have rejected.

Sorry PloughBoy.
You are wayyy in over your head here. (Admit it and Own it.) We HAVE both Lexicons (dictionaries) AND books on Greek grammar written in Greek from 1900 years ago. The Greek's were pretty smart back then, and a wealthy Roman would hire a Greek tutor to teach their children how to read and write. Just like today where we have English dictionaries and English books on English grammar written in English so that one can learn English, so it was 2,000 years ago ... in Greek. Haven't you even heard of the library in Alexandria Egypt? (Yes, they even had libraries 2,000 years ago.)
Do you really think all translators just make stuff up ??
Even you quote Bible verses, and so RELY upon translators and translations. Sometimes they get it wrong. That's why I decided to learn Greek 45 years ago. What are you doing? (Besides running around and falsely claiming that the word "church" was added to translations.) It wasn't. You made a mistake. Own it.
Like you are the person who's supposed to determine what the words in the Bible mean and which English words should be used? I even asked, and you can't tell me what εκκλησια means. (Still waiting.)
IT... what? You wrote IT must be revealed. WHAT ?? What is the "it" ??
Are you truly going to boast here that you are that only person to whom things have been revealed ??
And how ?? How is "it" revealed ?? Do you rely on the Bible at all ??
(So now I'm presented with posts from you that have both deception and pride. What should people do about that? What should YOU do about that?)
If you TRULY believed that you would shut up and stop posting. But you DON'T believe that. That's why you post.
Again, you stepped in it, twice now, so man up and own it. Your posts have shown that you don't have a clue about the history of language and translation, so Just be honest and post that you don't know how to read Greek, and that you yourself rely upon a translated Bible AND the definition of English words that you read in English translations. Can you be honest and do that? I hope you can.
Thanks,
Rhema
And who told you the nonsense that the Vulgate is "Corrupted" ?? More direct revelation from Jesus ?? (Hardly. And I don't think you l can read Latin either.)
At least I can read the Book for myself. YOU CAN'T. (You need translations. The translations that you've wrongly criticized and the translators you have dissed.)

The word church means the followers of christ, not a building or mandmade organised religion. https://www.gotquestions.org/what-is-the-church.html I myself have avoided organised religion since I started this journey in childhood. Something was wrong with them even back then.
