For 3 years now I have been warning the American public that it is time to leave the American Corporate Christian Churches, since in general, these Christian Churches followed the ways of Satan and submitted to the Satanic COVID measures, including having their children sacrificed to the Vaccine Cult by injecting them with bioweapons.

Synagogue of Satan: Why It’s Time to Leave the Corporate Christian Church
I have documented how Corporate Christianity has reached this point in history, by not following the teaching of the Scriptures, which includes both the Old Testament, as well as the New Testament.
The English word “church,” for example, is not the proper translation of the original text of the New Testament for the Greek word ekklesia, which means an “assembly” or “congregation.” Ekklesia is almost synonymous with another common Greek word used in the Bible, sunagōgē, which is not even translated into English in most places it is used in the Bible, but just used as a “transliteration” by adopting the Greek word into the alphabet of the English language as “synagogue.”
But ekklesia and sunagōgē have basically identical meanings: “assembly” or “congregation.”
(The Spanish language also uses the method of “transliteration” for the Greek word “ekklesia”, using “iglesia,” instead of translating it, for example.)
In the English language translations of the Bible, “church” usually is understood today as “Christian Churches” while “Synagogue” is usually understood as “Jewish Synagogues”.
But in the original Greek language of the New Testament, they can be used interchangeably, and when the passage does not make sense to modern English readers because of these prejudiced views based on modern culture, they usually end up translating the Greek word more appropriately.
One of these places is in James 2:2 which reads in most English translations: “For if a man wearing a gold ring and fine clothing comes into your assembly, and a poor man in shabby clothing also comes in…” (James 2:2)
Since “synagogue” is generally understood in modern culture as places of worship for Jews who have not accepted Jesus Christ as the Messiah, it was not appropriate in this passage in James, since he is obviously writing to those who were believers in Jesus Christ, and they instead translated the word properly as “assembly.”
In a similar way, “ekklesia“, which is usually translated as “church” and understood in modern culture as a meeting place for “Christians”, in places where the same Greek word is used for meetings that were not religious meetings, the English translators could not use the word “church.”
