..the religious sources you cited are...religious...and we reject them. Abgar is a myth...never happened. In the first place there was no such thing as Christianity until at least 70 years after Christ was killed...for you. In all that time you HAD to be a Jew to be a Christian...it was Paul who changed all that and opened it up to gentiles...so if anything, your Abgar converted Assyrians to Judaism, not Christianity.

..what you call "evidence" is hearsay...from sources that are taken seriously any longer...there are far more recent historians you can use as source material than those. I'll be happy to provide some of those.

...however much you prove the survival of Assyrians for a time after their empire collapsed...they eventually forgot about themselves...your claim that Christianity "saved" Assyrians is way off. But that's too long a discussion to have now. I believe you are one more who will merely plunk down what you were told as a child and found so appealling and gratifying because it boosted your sense of self-worth..and that as soon as you are challenged, will get yourself "insulted" or, like Minimalguy, come to think any further adult conversation is a "waste of time"...that's how he defends himself from the charge that he has nothing left to say once he shoots his wad and puts down what he learned as a young kid. I'll wait to see which route you take before saying more.
