Produktbeschreibung

When you hear 'ecclesia' do you immediately think 'church'; even though you have heard in lecture after lecture that ecclesia is Greek for 'called out ones' - that is, people, congregation, assembly, or community? Why do we see it translated as church in our English Bibles? How has this influenced our understanding of the verses where this mistranslation is used? Come explore the implications with us. You will hesitate to use the term church when you discover its true origins. You will see that it was forced in by an evil ruler so that he could control the people of God and limit them to a small sphere of life. Ecclesia Communities identifies and peels back false traditions. Some traditions are nefarious in origin, while others are well-intentioned. These traditions have piled up over time and cloud our way back to the truth of God's Word regarding: . Who we really are in Christ. . What our role is in our communities. . What is our full mission. This book is a start at clearing away distracting and misleading traditions. There is much more to do as we, Jesus' ecclesia, His hands, and feet, "make all things new". We have work to do!

Autorenporträt

Lou Poumakis is a retired electrical engineer. He practiced this profession until his retirement in 2002 but has been a serious student of God's Word since his conversion in 1974. He was ordained as an elder in the Christian Reformed Church and later as a minister in the Federation of Reformed Churches. Early on, he was attracted to the work of R. J. Rushdoony at Chalcedon Foundation where he was introduced to Christian Reconstruction. This doctrine truly reflects a Biblical Christian faith with a dynamic that contrasted favorably with the passive outlook that predominated what he had seen elsewhere. Faith On Earth? is primarily based on information garnered from this dynamic source. Before writing Faith On Earth?, he published numerous articles relating principles from God's Word to current events on his blog faithonearth.net. Lou resides in South Florida and has two children, seven grandchildren, and eleven great-grandchildren in Florida and New Hampshire. His wife Joan and grandson Owen have been with our King since 2018. Lou's son Greg collaborated on this work while still engaged in his profession in High Tech Finance, Sales, and Program Management roles. Greg came to the faith in 1970 and attended American Heritage Christian School, Pensacola Christian College, and Dordt College where he learned at the feat of great educators: Kathryn Dang (a major force in home schooling) and Dr Rev E. L. Hebden Taylor and like his father has studied the work of Dr. R. J. Rushdoony since the 1970s.
