Wow...! I have to say that I am QUITE amazed by what both of you wrote. If either of you read my post, I beg you to consider what I have to say: When God, YHWH, the God of Israel and the God of the Old testament, became flesh, he did so in Jesus Christ. Christ is God Incarnate, the very word of God expressed in the humanity of Christ. But why did Christ come to earth? Why would God incarnate himself when the Assyrians or Jews already knew God, as you say? Well, Christ came because his coming was prophesized in the Old Testament. "The virgin shall conceive...and he shall be called Emmanuel." This prophetic statement in Isaiah reminds the people of Israel that their Messiah was to come. Christ is our Messiah; he saved the world by redeeming our sins. The relationship with God was NOT intact prior to Christ; God decided that he loved the world so much that he gave his only begotten son that whosovever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life. This was the NEW relationship between God and MAN, something MAN could not earn because he was so sinful. Man's sins had to be paid, and God decided that He himself would redeem the sins of mankind, and no longer require his believers to atone for their misdeeds by offering animal sacrifices. When Christ came, it was God's highest form of love expressed to mankind like no other time in history. We do not deserve to live, as we deserve the excruciating cross of Christ; a perfect God didn't deserve that death!!! Please, I beg that you reconsider your statements regarding Christianity going against Assryainism. Christianity is NOT linked to race or ethnicitiy or nationalism because it is a faith of your SOUL and SPIRIT, not about a cultural nametag you were born with. Christianity is open to the whole world, even if you are from Botswana, Bosnia, Yemen, Thailand, Peru, El Salvador, Russia, Luxembourg, New Zealand......it doesn't matter if you are Haitian or Assyrian or Greek or Black or Spanish or Korean...that is one ofthe beauties of GOd's word, that it is available to ANYONE who believes in him. If you believe this much....how then is your Assyrianism anywhere near as important as your salvation?? Will being Assyrian restore your relationship with God? I dont think so! Being assyrian is nice, it is a heritage and culture, but it is not to be supreme in our lives. Being radical about our nationalism only breeds hatred, wars, racism because we would then believe that we are better than other people. But we are not, we are all the same. Please reconsider who Christ is and why He came before you write about the shutdown of Assyrianism, which, by the way, there is no such thing as Assyrianism. Julia Sorisho
