					<description>Hiya Free to Fellowship,

I really liked your summary and how systems many times lead to mistaking the creator for the creature.

I appreciate your passion for Christ, as well.  he has indeed brought us back.

I just wanted to mention one other thing, as a bit of a correction.  You are correct in that the word ekklesia, in its etymology, means called out ones.  Ek - a drawing outward, usually bears supernatural meaning and Kaleoo (the verbal root) meaning summon or call.  But at the time of the New Testament authors, the word was not used this way in Jewish greek writings.  Though it obviously bears this implication, in the septuagint it is used of the congregation of Israel, using it in a way similar to synagogue.

I just wanted to mention this to you so, perhaps in conversations you can refer to the etymology and not it's meaning in NT context.</description>
