7. SORRY, NO SUCH THING AS ASSYRIANISM

In reply to message #6
 
My friend,
1) What are your credentials, and where have you been educated?
2) What authors have defended this notion of Assyrianism?

3) <<<<There is no such thing as Assyrianism>>>
<<<There is such thing as an Assyrian Culture>>

Definition of Culture:
These patterns, traits, and products considered as the expression of a particular period, class, community, or population: Edwardian culture;
Japanese culture; the culture of poverty.

The Assyrian culture is one of many cultures in the world. The peoples below have cultures:

Mayans
Hittites
Hutu
Tutsi
Chaldeans
Magyars
Saxons
Cretians
Jews
Bulgars

All these people have 1) a certain geopolitical orientation 2) a certain tradition 3) a certain language/dialect 4) a certain belief system 5) a certain cannon of law 6) a certain musical and artistic heritage 7) a certain way to eat at the dinner table 8) a certain view of life after death 9) a certain view on justice, morality, statehood, equality, freedom 10) a certain list of significant heroes 11) a history of oppression and advancement 12) a certain set of social laws.

What is so special about culture that you have wasted time and space on Atour.com? What is this nonsense about hidden information in textbooks? What ideology? Do you even know what ideology means? Assyrians had characteristics, not an empirical belief system that signified its existence. We are one of many shifting peoples coming and going, coming from the earth and returning to it. Christ alone (not Buddha, Mohammed, Ba'hai, etc) lifts us from our temporal bodies and gives us spiritual life, that unites all those people listed into spiritual brotherhood and sisterhood. No singular ideology, -ism or practice comes close to the singular truth of Jesus Christ dying for the sins of the world. Absolutely nothing.

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.
