Description
Since our words convey our ideas, it is very important to select words carefully. The Holy Spirit selected the precise words in our Bible, "not in words which man's wisdom teaches but which the Spirit teaches", 1 Cor. 2:10 through 13. Wrong words result in false ideas (doctrine).
The Holy Spirit never used the word "church" or any word which could correctly be translated "church". The Holy Spirit used the Greek word "ekklesia". A correct English translation would be assembly, congregation, the called out, my people, my flock or other words meaning the people of God.
In an effort to convey the correct idea, the first English translations did not use "church",
William Tyndale, 1492 to 1536, used "congregation" which incurred the anger of the Catholics and the Church of England.
Miles Coverdale, "The Great Bible" 1539, also used congregation.
Alexander Campbell, "The Living Oracles" 1826, used "congregation" and
Young's Analytical Concordance To The Bible and others used "assembly".
Why is the Greek not correctly translated in the King James Version (KJV)? For the same reason they gave us "Easter" and "baptism", because a correct translation would contradict their organizations and practices. At the time of the KJV translation, the Church of England and the Catholic Church had developed into institutional organizations which had man‑made rulers and had interposed their institutions as a mediator between man and God. The KJV was authorized by King James in 1604. One purpose for this translation was to combat prior translations which had correctly translated the Greek "ekklesia" into congregation or assembly.
