how many times is church used in the holy bible?

Answer 1

Approximately 127 times in New Testament never in the Old Testament. it was translated from the Greek word Ekklesia , Meaning the Called out of god Collectively All the Called out or the called out Assembled. Church came from a Old Turkish & German Word . The so called Churches or the Actual assemblies were in Asia that is Turkey now.

Answer 2

In the Greek New Testament the word commonly used for "church" is ekklesia, which occurs one hundred fourteen times in seventeen of the twenty-seven books.

In the earlier books of the Old Testament an assembly or gathering of Israel is described by the Hebrew words 'edhah and qahal. At first these two words had little or no religious connotation; in fact, qahal in Num. 22: 4 means "this horde [of people]." In later, post-Exilic writings qahal, which came to be used much more frequently than 'edhah, acquired a distinctly religious connotation. It refers to an assembly of Israelites
gathered to hear God's law and to worship him (II Chr. 20: 5; Ezra 10: 12; Neh. 5: 13; 8: 2). Furthermore, the expression "the qahal of Jehovah" came to signify, not merely a gathering of Israelites upon some particular occasion, but the people of Israel as God's people distinct from everyone else, whether assembled or unassembled-in short, the chosen of Jehovah for his service.

When the Hebrew Old Testament was translated into Greek (during the third and second centuries B.C.), both 'edhah and qahal were rendered by the Greek words synagoge and ekklesia.
