Akhi J Sorisho:
There are descenants of the Assyrian peoples but none is a pure Assyrian since in 606 their Empire fell to the Babylonians which felll to the Persians and to the Greeks, and back into the hands of the Persians under the Sarsaniad Empire which lasted to 650A.D. when the whole Empire fell to Islam and the invading Arab forces. Since that time all the peoles were intermarried and mixed. The religion of the Area known as Beith Naharin(Mesopotamia) believed in Polythesim from the people of Sumeria that its the land of Shinar in Genesis after the flood and was changed to Babel,meaning the Gate of El(God). the Babylonians borrowed the Sumerian script of Cuniform(Wedge shaped letters), and changed their language from Sumerian to Akkadian under Sargon the Great in 2400B.C. The Peshitta does not even metion Ashur(Assyria) to much later as an Empire in 732BC. they lasted to the fal of Nineveh in 616B.C. If they are the same people find, but I studying Biblical Archaelogy have no proof of this. Their religion was polythestic not monothestic like the Sumerians before them only the names of their gods and godesses were changed. This is like the Greeks and Romans in their mythology. Even the Quaran mentions two Angels Haurut and Maurut names of two Babylonian or Assyrian dieties in Archaelogy Maurut is identified with Marduk a Babylonian diety. Even Israel went astray on Alaha and worshipt these foreign gods. Even if people had remainded true to Alaha they still would need Maran Eashoa or they would all be condemed. As you know mankind can never be acceptable and righteous before Alaha , since Alaha is pewrfect and we are not. When we speak of a person being righteous we only mean by comparision to another person, but compared to Alaha there is not one righteous no not one. So Alaha becomes incarnate as a man lives among men and He alone being perfect in righteousness dies for the sins of humanity. Now it is only a matter of our repentance and confession of Maran Eashoa and what He has done for us that makes us justified before Alaha, other wise we remain already condemed. Yes, I am fully aware that in Islam like the Parsi before them believe that good and evil deeds are weighed on a scale of divine justice upon one's death and if one has a surplus of good one goes into Paradise if not one goes into eternal torment or Hell. this is usported by the Quran which sees no need of a sacrifical atonement known as vacarias Atonment of one man dying for all of humanity. But as a Christian I know they are mistaken. You see a price for sin which is deathe must be paid otherwise Alaha is unjust and can not be perfect. Only Alaha Himself as the incarnate Word could pay this debt, since he alone is qualified none else. Amen,Alamin. Shlama W'Berkhata, Sam

Assyrian \ã-'sir-é-an\ adj or n (1998)   1:  descendants of the ancient empire of Ashur   2:  the Assyrians, although representing but one single nation as the direct heirs of the ancient Assyrian Empire, are now doctrinally divided, inter sese, into five principle ecclesiastically designated religious sects with their corresponding hierarchies and distinct church governments, namely, Church of the East, Chaldean, Maronite, Syriac Orthodox and Syriac Catholic.  These formal divisions had their origin in the 5th century of the Christian Era.  No one can coherently understand the Assyrians as a whole until he can distinguish that which is religion or church from that which is nation -- a matter which is particularly difficult for the people from the western world to understand; for in the East, by force of circumstances beyond their control, religion has been made, from time immemorial, virtually into a criterion of nationality.   3:  the Assyrians have been referred to as Aramaean, Aramaye, Ashuraya, Ashureen, Ashuri, Ashuroyo, Assyrio-Chaldean, Aturaya, Chaldean, Chaldo, ChaldoAssyrian, ChaldoAssyrio, Jacobite, Kaldany, Kaldu, Kasdu, Malabar, Maronite, Maronaya, Nestorian, Nestornaye, Oromoye, Suraya, Syriac, Syrian, Syriani, Suryoye, Suryoyo and Telkeffee. — Assyrianism verb

Aramaic \ar-é-'máik\ n (1998)   1:  a Semitic language which became the lingua franca of the Middle East during the ancient Assyrian empire.   2:  has been referred to as Neo-Aramaic, Neo-Syriac, Classical Syriac, Syriac, Suryoyo, Swadaya and Turoyo.
