LAST EDITED ON Apr-22-2001 AT 09:59 PM (CT) Dear David7 I have no confusions in my ideas.You might be for the first time reading that Assyrians had known mighty God before christianity exists.and also not after Jonah's preaching!! So you could'nt accept such idea for only one reason which is your strong believes in christianity. you, yourself believe that Assyrians they (repented?) at the preaching of Jonah!! Don't you think that Assyrians (repented?)for the mighty God and not for idol gods??!! wasn't Jonah preaching for the name of mighty God?? That story was documented as been happened at 850 B.C !!!!!! Before christianity existence. Yes, Assyrians had known mighty God before Jesus, and take these extra evidences: 1- if you believe in christianity then you believe in Adam & Eve story. Do you know that this story was documented by Ancient Assyrians for thousands of years before christianity and became part of the holy bible. That story was actually part of the ancient religion of the ancient Assyrians.Important discoveries regarding this subject were made by the late Fred Tamimi the Assyrian Assyriologist in 70's of last millennium. Assyrians had taught ancient nations like china civilization and Maya civilization(india)about Adam & Eve story and that was discovered in their archeological antiquities. 2- "Ba'aota Ninwayeh" that fast proclaimed for mighty God not for idols!!That proved Assyrians had known mighty God before christianity. 3- read Ishaia 19:25 wherethere God blessing Assyrians saying "Blessed Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands..." We should realize that God blesses goes only to those whom they beleived in him, but not to those who worships idols??!! That was meant that Assyrians had known God before christianity too. 4- read exodus 27:2(the old testament)where God advise Moses to add 4 horns on four corners of the temple.." And thou shall make the horns of it upon the four corners...", Do you know that the palace of the Assyrian king Ashur-Banipal had horns upon his four corners too!!(see Babylon, for Joan Otis 1987). So, if putting horns on buildings was an holy featur inspired by God,don't you think that Ancient Assyrians before Moses for thousands years had known that of God inspiration!!!?? and that was again had took place before christianity for a very long time!! I can mention to you more and more,but I'll stop at those above 4 historical/biblical mentioned facts. David: God blessing you as an Assyrian no more no less and you will be identified in heaven as an Assyrian!! God knows you and he blesses you as he blessed your forefathers whom their name as Assyrians was mentioned in the holy bible more than 150 times!!!! Being God believers as we are the first nation on this Earth recognised by God for thousands of years and before christianity, actually this is the power that we have in our faith. Today we believe in God through christianity, but yesterday (thousands years ago)we believed in God through Assyrianism, nothing changed, he is the same God,we are the same people, but one thing changed since we became christians in faith,we lost our national faith and our land!!...Think about it, and discover why we have different churches fighting over what we had known without those churches!! Our faith was Assyrianism and had been changed to christianity title with some modifications that deeply injured our national faith and made us to forget our nation and our land and trying to build a country for us there above in the sky!!!!!!!! God bless you
