All this quoting of the scriptures doesn't alter the fact that Paul and Barnabas were qwars.

I'll leave y'all CHRISTIANS with this message please take the time to read. Make that conscious decision to follow Jesus.

The Woman at the Well

4 1-3 Jesus realized that the Pharisees were keeping count of the baptisms that he and John performed (although his disciples, not Jesus, did the actual baptizing). They had posted the score that Jesus was ahead, turning him and John into rivals in the eyes of the people. So Jesus left the Judean countryside and went back to Galilee.

4-6 To get there, he had to pass through Samaria. He came into Sychar, a Samaritan village that bordered the field Jacob had given his son Joseph. Jacob's well was still there. Jesus, worn out by the trip, sat down at the well. It was noon.

7-8 A woman, a Samaritan, came to draw water. Jesus said, "Would you give me a drink of water?" (His disciples had gone to the village to buy food for lunch.)

9 The Samaritan woman, taken aback, asked, "How come you, a Jew, are asking me, a Samaritan woman, for a drink?" (Jews in those days wouldn't be caught dead talking to Samaritans.)

10 Jesus answered, "If you knew the generosity of God and who I am, you would be asking me for a drink, and I would give you fresh, living water."

11-12 The woman said, "Sir, you don't even have a bucket to draw with, and this well is deep. So how are you going to get this 'living water'? Are you a better man than our ancestor Jacob, who dug this well and drank from it, he and his sons and livestock, and passed it down to us?"

13-14 Jesus said, "Everyone who drinks this water will get thirsty again and again. Anyone who drinks the water I give will never thirst-not ever. The water I give will be an artesian spring within, gushing fountains of endless life."

15 The woman said, "Sir, give me this water so I won't ever get thirsty, won't ever have to come back to this well again!"

16 He said, "Go call your husband and then come back."

17-18 "I have no husband," she said.

"That's nicely put: 'I have no husband.' You've had five husbands, and the man you're living with now isn't even your husband. You spoke the truth there, sure enough."

19-20 "Oh, so you're a prophet! Well, tell me this: Our ancestors worshiped God at this mountain, but you Jews insist that Jerusalem is the only place for worship, right?"

21-23 "Believe me, woman, the time is coming when you Samaritans will worship the Father neither here at this mountain nor there in Jerusalem. You worship guessing in the dark; we Jews worship in the clear light of day. God's way of salvation is made available through the Jews. But the time is coming-it has, in fact, come-when what you're called will not matter and where you go to worship will not matter.

23-24 "It's who you are and the way you live that count before God. Your worship must engage your spirit in the pursuit of truth. That's the kind of people the Father is out looking for: those who are simply and honestly themselves before him in their worship. God is sheer being itself-Spirit. Those who worship him must do it out of their very being, their spirits, their true selves, in adoration."

25 The woman said, "I don't know about that. I do know that the Messiah is coming. When he arrives, we'll get the whole story."

26 "I am he," said Jesus. "You don't have to wait any longer or look any further."

The church isn't the building either, Mikey. The Chirch is the body of believers. You know the ones that are Christians, that believe that Jesus is the son of God?! The one that died on the cross for the sins of all mankind. The only flesh that has walked the earth sinless! The only perfect flesh! Being covered by His blood after salvation is received only covers our sins. It doesn't make us sinless. Christian aren't perfect and neither are you! I will pray that God enlightens the truth to you before you cause destruction of others.
&&&&&&

Why would you want to fall into temptation when you were forgiven for your sins. Is your Urges uncontrollable that you can't Stop??? Don't you think Jesus can keep you SAVED after he wash away all your sins. Start calling on Jesus when in temptation Jesus by his name makes demons run..

Hebrews 10:26-31
King James Version
26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,

27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.

28 He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:

29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?

30 For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.

31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

Baptist Church Methodist Church. you Christians are members to the church.

What is the root meaning of ekklesia?
to call out
Latin ecclesia, from Greek ekklesia, where the word is a compound of two segments: "ek", a preposition meaning "out of", and a verb, "kaleo", signifying "to call" - together, literally, "to call out". That usage soon disappeared and was replaced with "assembly, congregation, council", or "convocation".

False teacher, the word church appears 79 times in the King James Authorized Version of the Bible

The word Church does not appear at all
------

Your post makes absolutely no sense

ekklesia mean in Hebrew?
assembly
From word studies, both in Hebrew and in Greek, we conclude that ekklÄ"sia has the general meaning of assembly. The specific meaning, however, depends on its context. In the New Testament, this term can refer to a legislative assembly, a religious community, or a causal gathering of people

The word "church" does not appear in the Old Testament but it appears about 120 times in the gospels and the New Testament. The original word translated "church" from original manuscripts is "ekklesia." This word is the Greek word kaleo (to call), with the prefix ek (out). In English the word is translated from the original "called out ones" to "church

The basic meaning of the Greek ekklÄ"sia is assembly or gathering.

I'm out to get people to re-examine what they think they know is truth. You lie again

Wrong transliteration it was translated to church for the Catholic Christian Religion.

Are you not the Temple of God?

What better place to start deception than with Peter. If you Christian would just stay on what Jesus taught and accept it you would not be able to be part of Christianity

Matthew 16-18

King James Bible
And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of **** shall not prevail
against it.

"Jewish Christians from the sect of the Pharisees" reminds me of a description of the Forksters.

You can't repeat that lie often enough to believe it yourself much less convince others to believe it. Go back to the playbook and chain up some young blacks and starve the older ones.

Hallelujah, what about that! I guess that is what Jesus meant when he said in your red letter edition

Mat 16:18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of **** shall not prevail against it.

The word assembly is the Biblical word . You need more studies. If y'all Christian looked for Truth instead of a way to sin you wouldn't be Christian..

In the New Testament this word ( Church ) occurs more than hundred times but only at three places translated correctly.

Acts 19: 32 "The assembly was confused, and most of them did not know why they had come together."
Acts 19: 39 "but if you have any other inquiry to make, it shall be determined in the lawful assembly."
Acts 19:41 "And when he had said these things, he dismissed the assembly."

In the above three references the Greek word 'ekklesia' is correctly translated as 'assembly'. In verse 32 and 41 reference is to a disorganized gathering of people. In verse 39 'assembly' refers to a specially called out lawful gathering.

Translator's error
However, in the remaining occurrences of the same word ('ekklesia'), KJV translators chose to use 'church'. Even, while referring to Israel in the Old Testament they used the word 'church' for 'ekklesia

The word assembly was replaced by Church,. Find Truth always, put the teaching of Jesus FIRST alway in your life.

Jewish Christians from the sect of the Pharisees had travelled to Antioch to tell the largely Gentile church they need to be circumcised and devoted to the Mosaic law.

Acts 15
King James Version
15 And certain men which came down from Judaea taught the brethren, and said, Except ye be circumcised after the manner of Moses, ye cannot be saved.

2 When therefore Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and disputation with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas, and certain other of them, should go up to Jerusalem unto the apostles and elders about this question.

3 And being brought on their way by the church, they passed through Phenice and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the Gentiles: and they caused great joy unto all the brethren.

4 And when they were come to Jerusalem, they were received of the church, and of the apostles and elders, and they declared all things that God had done with them.

5 But there rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees which believed, saying, That it was needful to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses.
