I agree with Albert. Christianity is ultimately incompatible with Assyrianism, as is any ism which does not place Jesus Christ central to its conceptualisation of existence. With regards to this ism, the incompatibility arises when national values conflict with Christian values Should I pray for my enemy, or do exploit him and dispose of him when I have no further use of him? The gods our ancient peoples worshiped had no problem with the second option which is inconsistent with both the character of Jesus and the criteria He places on His followers.

Nationalism needs to be self-seeking and even racist in order to look after its interest in the world arena. On a grander scale, no matter how politically correct it presents itself, a nationality has to be pragmatic and even ruthless when protecting its foothold on this earth. Christianity views this world as temporal and seeks the heavenly kingdom of God which transcends political and racial boundaries.

Are you an Assyrian Christian? Which of these two identities is central to your being? If there is a conflict of identities, it is because one is of God and the other of man, and ultimately you will hate one master and serve the other.

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.
