Bible Study The REAL Katholikos Church

[JM]

Katholikos means, general or universal. Aristotle used it as thus, "catholic rule," meaning general. Polybius wrote, "catholic pronouncement," meaning universally.

Ignatius wrote, "Wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the catholic church."

What are the marks of the church as found in the Bible?

• Worship, 1 Cor. 14:24-25. The spiritual nature of worship, John 4:24.
  
  Priestly service, Rom. 1:9, 12:1.
  
  Reverence or fear of God, 1 Tim. 2:10, 5:4. II Pet. 1:3, 3:11.
  
  Instruction and teaching of the people, 2 Tim. 3:16-17, 4:6-16.
  
  Fellowship, Acts 2:42, 4:24-31, 12:5, Phil. 1:3-4, Rom. 15:26, II Cor. 9:13.
  
  Ministry, Acts 8:4, 11:19-20, 16:31, 17:12.
  
  Organization, Acts 14:23, Titus 1:5
  
  Ordinaces, Acts 2:14, 1 Cor. 11:23-24.

This is what I think, what do you think?

God bless,
