..if I´m not mistaken, the word ASSYRIAN was only added to Church of The East...or Nestorian Church...recently...in the last century or so...or maybe in the 1800s. That coincides with when the Europeans dug up Assyrian remains.

Is there any evidence at all that prior to that, anyone over there called himself a direct descendant of the Assyrians...or wanted to?

It´s become fashionable to say Ashur is just an older form of Jesus...it´s a silly discussion...like St Augustine´s that there are five steps that PROVE the existance of god, the first one being that you HAVE to accept that there is a god. After that...who needs the other four...or like Intelligent Design, which isn´t...it says that SOMETHING made everything...next you can argue about whom YOU think it is...which is exactly what´s going on now anyway...so who needs it?

The idea that the ancient Assyrians switched to Jesus is increasingly seen as a gross insult...not even the Jews who KNEW Jesus went running after his ¨message¨...how then did ALL Assyrians and ALL Aztecs do so?

I´d say this forum is the place that has first raised these issues in a consistent and hard to argue with manner...we were called idiots at first...we were told we´d rot in hell. But the logic is inescapable...western Christianity was spread by the sword...eastern Christianity was spread by Jews who converted early and were thrown out of Jerusalem by the Romans...their numbers never increased because they had not the military power to force conversions..and the pagan world, like most Jews, found nothing of interest in the message of Jesus.

Now we are being told increasingly that there was no need for Assyrians to shift to Jesus...they were working their way to him anyway..led by Ashur.

You have to remember you´re dealing with people who bellieve they´re going to live on a cloud forever..so you have to make allowances..this effort to rewrite Jesus as the new and IMPROVED Ashur is revisionism at its best or worst...what else CAN these neoHebrews do but tell us Ashur IS Jesus!

It´s the final insult..as if to validate the existence of Ashur...we must turn him into a Jew. Sorry...but nice try.
