Quote from the Milk and Honey publication: by Stephen Hulshizer
"The English word "church" does not give us the real meaning of the Greek word used in writing the New Testament. Church would best be translated as "assembly." The Church, or Assembly, is an "assembly" or "gathering" who have been "called out" of this world. It is a gathering of "called-out-ones" who have been separated to God from the world by the Holy Spirit through the Gospel of Jesus Christ. (1 Thess. 1:5)
