....the Assyrian Ideology
is indeed another passage to
beleive in God.

This statement imposes a limit on Christianity.
Christianity is an 'ideology,' if you will, that deals primarily with the spiritual and not temporal body. Therefore, to say that the Assyrian ideology is another passage to believe in God is heresy. HERESY. No where in the bible does it mention that in order to believe in God you have to have a working Assyrian Ideology. Never does Christ mention the importance of nationalism or national-ideology.

What is the purpose of life, Albert?
Is it:
a) to serve Christ with all your heart and ability
b) to have a deep Assyrian ideology that is just as important as Christianity?

Please answer this question in your next post

You are imposing serious limitations on the word of God by ranking Assyrianism as much importance as you do. The only reason why I am spending this much time writing back to you is because you are spreading the notion that a spiritual salvation offered by Christ is corrupting our notions of nationalism. Such a thesis does not even merit discussion because the spiritual life, in Christianity, is much more important than the temporal one.

One more thing, you keep saying that we believed in God and we spread his word throughout the ancient lands. As far as I can tell, there was no real evangelical movement until the Pauline ministries began after Christ's death and ascension. Prior to christ, the ancient peoples left no record of monotheism that did not include the Jewish people. Even Assyrian missionaries began their world evangelical movements AFTER Christ's great commission. This is EVIDENCED by the fact that we have Assyrian CHRISTIAN (not prechristian) communities in India and China, not "all over the world" as you say.

Also, it doesn't matter if we were first or last in receiving GOd's word. It doesn't matter! At all! Because the whole POINT to receiving God's word is that we become CHRISTIANS. The whole point of God's covenant with Abraham was to fulfil the prophecies about Christ, that mankind would benefit from a NEW relationship with Christ.

We are nothing without Christ.
This means an Assyrianism with a pre-Christian belief in God is paralyzed until that belief is COMPLETED with a belief in Christ.
We have everything when we believe in Christ.
This means that if i don't follow the Assyrian ideology I will still see the Kingdom of Heaven and enjoy the spiritual relationship with the GOd of creation.

There is no room for exorbitant Assyrian nationalism in Christianity

.

As long as my fingers can help me type, I enjoy responding to your posts and will continue to do so.
God bless you Albert.

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
