The word Church comes from the Anglo-Saxon root word "circe," and stems from the Greek name of the goddess "Circe," the daughter of "Helios," the Roman Sun-god adopted from Greek mythology. Daughter of the Sun
Circe was an ancient Greek goddess who could hypnotize men, bring them into her house, and turn them into animals -- taking their minds away, so that they could support and feed her.
She was known as "Mother Circe," and her worship was brought to medieval Scotland, in whose language Circe became "Kirk." The Scottish word "Kirk" becomes "Church" in English. Where else have we seen the word "Kirk?" Ah yes, we have "Captain Kirk" taking mankind where it has never gone before ...with the U.S.S. Enterprise...
Well there's the spiritual ascended church in Christ. It doesn't cost a dime.<---that's the church where Jesus is the head of the body, every member follows the head, Jesus Christ.
Amen. I teach my children there is the Church the body and Church the club. Sometimes you find both in one place. Being in the club is not the same thing as being one with the body and one with Christ. One is transforming the other conforming. IMHO
Fanciful etymology, but not backed by scholarship. There are a host of northern European progenitors that include cirice (old Saxon kirika), old Norse kirkja, German kirche, all likely derived from the Greek kyriake, from kyrios (Lord). Circe derives from Greek kirke (bound with hoops). To know more is better, so long as it is real and not fanciful.
Or a third option… take both as possible, and use “congregation”, “ecclesia”, “keihilat”, or “of the Body of Christ” instead, as they’re more accurate words for conveying the meaning anyway.
Very interesting. Jordan Maxwell revealed all kinds of weirdness in religion.
Circe (church) is a Greek goddess who brings men into her house and takes their minds away.
This is the Original Uncropped Photo/Post...Clearly, she was saving herself for Batman.
Everyone should know who Mother Circe was:

We know that churches are money-making corporations / "enterprises." Is this why churches and money are both divided into "denominations?"-Jordan Maxwell (RIP) https://web.archive.org/web/20111215205611/http://www.jordanmaxwell.com/articles/religion/religion18.html

Just like history...a lie agreed upon.
Which makes your fancy no better.
