I have been considering the difference between a "congregation" and a "church" (if any)? The hebrew words qahal or edah seems to be translated by the word ekklesia in the LXX, which is often translated by the english word congregation. I wonder if there is any difference. Perhaps congregation is used to describe the local church and "church" sometimes used to describe the universal church, but not always. Paul writes to the ekkesia but most bible translations used the word "church".
Any comments?
