History of the CoE
#4
The article on AINA is quoted from <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.cnewa.org">http://www.cnewa.org</a><!-- m -->, which is the Catholic Near Eastern Welfare Association, so the article was written by a Roman Catholic. Now I do try to avoid jumping to conclusions and accusing different churches of bias, but if you really want to know the truth about a particular church's history and teachings, it's best to read that church's own writings in their own words. After all one would have a distorted view of the RCC if one would confine their research solely to Protestant writings. Since the majority of Assyrians are actually Chaldean Catholics, it's not surprising that AINA quotes a Catholic source.

Meshikhaya brings up a very good point of how language has played a significant role in dividing the Church. But we must remember that our Holy books were written in 2 languages, so we in fact have 2 "holy" languages - Aramaic as well as Hebrew. I believe that the primary reason why there have been so many misunderstandings and schisms is because no major Apostolic assembly has ever based their doctrines on BOTH languages EXCLUSIVELY. Even the Nicene Creed was formed with Greek terminology in Greek which is NOT a Biblical language! Oh how different Church history would've been, and how different the Church would be today if the Fathers had just based their teachings on the original languages LIKE THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO. It's no wonder the heathens mock us and don't take us seriously, it's only us idiots who put flawed translations on par with the original, which is something the heathens don't tolerate.
Shalom, Shlama, Salaam & Yiasou.
