This translation of yours is erroneous. The word in the original Greek is 'Hades' and not 'unseen world.' Also the word, 'Church' is not there in the original text. Rather it is the word, 'ekklesia' which definitely does NOT mean, 'Church.' The word 'Church' means a sun circle and is the common term for the Egyptian and Babylonian temple cults that merged with Mithraism in Rome. The Church is the cult of Mithras, Dagon, Isis, Horus, and Set. The 'ekklesia' that Jesus referred to had nothing to do with a Church. Ekklesia is a legislature within the government. Only a certain very few are called and chosen to serve in Christ's legislature--certainly not every Tom, Dick, and Harebrain that claims to feel 'called to the ministry.' Your screeds are dripping with eisegesis. You should not pretend to know Koine Greek. -- Nightbulb https://blog.nightbulb.net Flip the Night Switch.
