Some "unscholarly" thoughts

Feb-11-2002 at 07:16 PM (UTC+3 Nineveh, Assyria)

Shlama all--

I spend so much time putting down "scholarly" reasons on this forum that I think an aspect gets lost at times. I want all of you to know what a gift it is to be able to talk with everyone and to get Paul's insights also.

peshitta.org is an oasis of Aramaic in a desert of Greek. At a minimum, all of us I believe can see the insights that are added by looking at the language that Mshikha and his disciples spoke thought, and taught in. It is here to preserve the rarest but most important language on the face of the earth.

Even if I did not believe in Aramaic primacy, the role of Peshitta for me as a Messianic Jew would be invaluable to me as a way of interpreting the teachings of Mshikha through the ancient prism of a Semitic framework. I also believe that only the Aramaic language can build abridge of understanding between all three monotheistic faiths. If you think about it, it's the one thing Jews, Christians and Muslims have in common in the roots of their history.

For those reasons, I am grateful that this forum--and all of you-- are here.

Just my two cents.

Andrew

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.
