In the first century, the Greek word ekklesia was used in a political context, referring to a group of people who were called out of the general population to serve as a civil body or executive arm. The word is a compound which literally means "to call out". In ancient Greece, the ekklesia was a group of selected individuals who would assemble regularly to deliberate and decide on matters of civil policy. The Church was intended to be a place of action, where the faithful would meet and decide what would be done the following week. God is secure and requires no praise, so let's stop going to Church for that, instead we could have an open transparent online Ekklesia that functions as a direct democracy that actually does some good for our community. 396
Does the Bible talk about corporations, and what is the word Ekklesia? A legal entity that is separate from its owners, with its own rights and liabilities, just like you, but different. Socrates believed that an un-examined mind was not worth living, then the same must apply to an un-examined society. I ask that you examine the behavior of your society, then understand what a corporation is, and how they dominate our economy. Then answer these questions: If corporations were democratic open and directly managed online by investors, would that not eliminate the crooks and tyrants behind our corporations? Would we not then be done with, secrecy, corruption and the vast majority of social problems. I believe that we were once enslaved by Tyrants, and today our master has become the corporation. Seek the truth, collaborate with others and build a better society for you and our children. 375
