1. Ephesians 1:4 — καθὼς ἐξελέξατο ἡμᾶς (kathōs exelexato hēmas) — “just as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world.”
2. Ephesians 1:5 — προορίσας ἡμᾶς (proorisas hēmas) — “having predestined us for adoption.”

I use the term, “Church”, as interchangeable with “Christendom”. That is, the New Testament Greek: “he-Ekklektos”, or “she Bride-called-out”.

This work is a “sifter” of sorts using what I call “The 5 Noble Truths”. Some people might wince when the word “truth” is used, however, I use the mother meaning of the word “truth” found couched in classical Greek, Hittite, Sanskrit, and the early reconstructed Proto-Indo-European language.
