Practical application of Pentecostal theology in politics, economy and social issues
The etymology of church cannot be traced to the Greek word, ekklesia. Christians persist on using a unscriptural word to justify their religious tradition of associating people to a physical structure. We all know this… why do we allow it?…
Jeremiah 50:2 ASV
Declare ye among the nations and publish, and set up a standard; publish, and conceal not: say, Babylon is taken, Bel is put to shame, Merodach is dismayed; her images are put to shame, her idols are dismayed.
