Quotes from Mar Eshai Shimun Part 1

(From the Introduction to the Book of Marganitha - "The Pearl" on the Truth of Christianity)

Quote:

"It is needless to say that the Christian faith is of Semitic origin, and that it was revealed by God to Semitic prophets, and in the land of the Semites - namely, the Middle East"

......

"All of the prophets and the Apostles were Semites, so was Melchizedeck - who was symbolic of Christ.....so was Christ himself, who in the flesh was the Son of Abraham and David; and all of these spoke and wrote in the Aramaic language."

......

"The late Pope Pius, in his 1943 Encyclical, warmly recommends a scientific study of the Bible, and gives a complete and positive direction for such a study.....says the report 'The original text and not a translation must be taken as the basis....it is of great importance to study the literature of the ancient east, because biblical writers did not always use the forms we use today...."

The same report says: 'This relegates many former differences to a secondary status, especially those which were based on Hellenic compromise, or on scholastic legalistic interpretation of the Scriptures.'

All these statements constitute a clear admission
that the Christian Church within the Byzantine Empire subjected the Holy Scriptures to the influence of pagan philosophies and the political expediences of the Empire, hence, the numerous Scriptural inconsistancies between the original Aramaic text of the Church of the East, known as the Peshitta and the Greek and Latin monophysite versions, and all the others derived therefrom."

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.
