God Defines His Church

Romans 16:1 King James Version KJV I commend unto you Phebe our sister, which is a servant of the church which is at Cenchrea:

English “church” emboldened in Romans 16:1 was translated from Greek feminine noun 1577 ekklesia which is a Greek word that is important to understand. Greek feminine noun 1577 ekklesia is from a compound of Greek preposition 1537 ek denoting origin from whence a process proceeded from, pursuant to the will of the originator. In the case of Lutheranism Martin Luther was the origin.  John Wesley was the origin of the Methodist Religion and the list of flesh human beings goes on and on. The second compound of Greek feminine noun 1577 ekklesia is Greek verb 2564 kaleo subjectively meaning to call and objectively meaning to be called. When I use the English words subjectively and objectively referring to Greek words, subjectively refers to the grammatical subject performing the verb’s action and objectively refers to grammatical objects receiving the action performed. We must ask ourselves why is there 1 God but 4,351 different world religions? The answer is that God is the origin of one church because God performed the action of Greek verb 2564 kaleo subjectively meaning to call and objectively meaning to be called regarding only the “church of the firstborn” which God will further define in Romans 16:4.
