Disciple or Follower?
Greek "mathetai"; means "student", "follower". It has no special religious connotation or significance, other than that to follow Jesus is both a significant and important choice.

Are Demons and Angels Superstition?
The word translated as 'demon' in most English bibles refers to invisible (to us) evil beings that are in opposition to God.

ARE MODERN CHURCHES REALLY BIBLICAL?
In Acts 20:17 The word translated as "apostle" in English, "apostolos", means one who is sent away or "sent one". Thus, it is correct to refer to Paul as "Paul the sent one", rather than as "the apostle Paul", as is the bad habit of modern Bibles. Several people besides the twelve original...- Richard Aberdeen
