Hi Mercy.

First, welcome to the forum.

The term "Nestorian" is offensive, please refrain from using it. It would be like someone calling a Muslim a "Mohammedan". Both terms imply a negative meaning, ie, that we are followers of an individual rather than God.

I will answer your questions in another post when I have a little more time this evening.

God bless.

Hi again Mercy,

Peshitta Is The Right Scripture for Nestorian's ???

The Peshitta is the version of the New Testament in Aramaic that the Church of the East uses.

Do Nestorians Believe In Crucification ???

The Church of the East believes in the Crucifixion, Death, Burial and Resurrection of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.

Do Nestorian's Take Mother Mary As God's Mother ???

No, the Church of the East uses the title "Mother of Christ" for Mary.

Do Nestorian's Take Prophet Esa(Peace Be Upon Him) as God ???

I don't know of a prophet named Esa, but if you're referring to Yeshua (Eshoa) the Messiah, yes indeed we believe He is God and Man in one Person.

Do Nestorian's Take Prophet Esa(Peace Be Upon Him) as SON of God ???

We proclaim the Incarnation of God, known as Messiah and who took our humanity from Mary, as the Son of God.

Do Nestorian's Believe Prophet Esa(Peace Be Upon Him) was Crucified for Our Sins ??

Of course.

Do Nestorian's Practice Circumcision like The Children Of Ishmael and Children Of Isaac ???

They can if their parents choose to do so from a medical necessity, or personal preference. But not as a matter of religious practice like Jews or Muslims, no.

Hope that helps. This is the extent to which I will explain this on the forum, as this is not the proper venue for theological discussions. There are many websites out there that are dedicated to Christian/Muslim dialogue and debate. We do not like to waste time and energy here rehashing centuries of debate on the topic, when there's a million other websites doing that right now.

Thanks for your understanding.
