Overview

Please join me in this adventure in discovery through research. This book is formatted using the style of a research paper. The reason for making this change comes from my research on the use of specific words in the New Testament. The curiosity had to do with the King James Version of the New Testament and a question. The question: Why does the visible stereotypical church not align with the church as revealed in the New Testament? I wondered if the language of the King James Version played a role in how the visible stereotypical church developed. I Googled the term, church, to see what the Greek word was for church. This is what I found. The word Church is neither Hebrew nor Greek. In point of fact, when these languages were translated into English Bibles, the word Church was already in existence. The greek word used in the renewed covenant for Church is Ekklesia which basically means Called Out ones .I wondered: How would the New Testament read if I would substitute Called Out Ones for the word church? To find the answer I located all the verses with the word church beginning in Acts going through Jude and made the change, substituting Called Out Ones for the word church. This research generated further curiosity resulting in this question: Using the King James Version what words were used to identify or address those who are saved? I proceeded to locate all the verses using these words and record the verses and tabulate their distribution on tables. Therefore, the research paper expanded into gathering data, creating tables, reporting data, and analyzing the data. In the usual research paper format, this research resulted in tables and appendices which present the data. The book will report the data, provide analysis and discussion on the data, and will even explain what a research paper is and how it is formatted. The research reveals the early believers were a loving caring community. See if you agree.
