...you can take pride in all the flea bitten manuscripts you like..what has that got to do with Assyrians?

How much worse would symbols of paganism be if allowed in the church? (in fact at present, they are) Even if individuals arent worshiping them at the present, the historic fact that these symbols (ashur, shamash, lamasu, etc) were once part of the ancient assyrian cult should be enough for them to be forbidden in a Christian Church. It would be as if a Judaism allowed "golden calves" in thier temples.

...or you allowed such an ass in your's. .. You have enough pagan idols yourselves..get of your higher idols.

>Meshikhayootah has never been an ethnic faith. On the contrary, the apostles strived to open the faith to people of other nations so that ethnicity would take a back seat to faith. Allaha should come before country!

..the apostles were lying Jews...no Assyrisn willingly leapt to Jesus ..that's absurd...every time you sent modern Apostles anywhere without an army to back them and force conversion they got cooked and et...we've sen what mayhem and butchery your "Apostles" caused in The New World and Africa where they had the soldiers kill and burn and rape and then took the "poor" orphans to force into Jesus..we still see millions of Afro Americans pray to Jesus who KNOW their mothers were raped into Christ..that's how sick your faith is.

>As far as Hinduism is concerned, it is a perfect parallel to Assyrianism. Both are ancient non-christian religions. Hindu (India) is a country (so was assyria). In fact how do you say "India" in assyrian, is it not "hindustan"? Finally, Hindi is a language, so is Assyrian.

...and Assyrians have our own religion..it never went away...it's always been here...we're just serving notice on you all.

>As you know the Church of the East has many churches in India today. In fact there are more churches and members in India than anywhere else the Church of the East is ... combined. So wouldnt it be unacceptable if in Indian Church of the East parishes, we'd find images of "Vishnu" ?

...what has that to do with anything...you speak in tongues...your Christian faith is a Jew faith of Israel..anyone is welcome to it...there is also an Assyrian faith from Assyria...hope you don't mind.
