CATHOLIC CHURCH IN THE BIBLE

THIS IS THE GREEK FORM OF ACTS 9:31:

ἡ μεν ουν εκκλησια καθ᾽ὁλης της ιουδαιας και γαλιλαιας και σαμαρειας ειχεν ειρηνην οικοδομουμενη και πορευομενη τω φοβω του κυριου, και τη παρακλησει του ἁγιου πνευματος επληθυνοντο.  Πράξεις τῶν Ἀποστόλων 9:31

The transliteration of this phrase εκκλησια καθ᾽ὁλης is "ekklesia kata holos" which is oftenly translated into "throughout the whole". And since the very Greek term "catholic" or "katholikos" was derived from the two words "kata" and "holos", we can certainly affirm that the term "catholic" is indeed Biblical. What surprises us is the way how google translate translates it.

GOGGLE TRANSLATE IT:


THIS IS THE DERIVATIVE OF THE WORD 
CATHOLIC, “KATA” AND “HOLES” WHICH MEANS “THROUGHOUT ALL AND ALSO MEANS “CATHOLIC/UNIVERSAL”.  EVEN IF YOU TAKE OUT THE PHRASE EKKLESIA KATHOLES, THIS IS THE RESULT:
