Aramaic Primacy in the East

Usually when someone mentions a Gentile, I think of someone like myself, a Roman, or a Greek. Paul is the Apostle to the Gentiles, including Semitic Gentiles! The Amme that Paul went to included the Aramaye (Assyrians), Yonaye (Greeks), Romaye (Romans), and many more. Speaking of Aramaye (somewhat off topic), do you think that this word could be better translated as "Assyrians" instead of "Arameans", considering that the Assyrians prefer to be called by the former name?

Yes, indeed Abraham was a Semitic Gentile as well as his father, Terah, who was an idol-maker in Ur and in Harran. Then some Semitic Gentiles became Semitic non-Gentiles. Lots of us original Semitic Gentiles around today.

As to the name, Assyrians aren't Aramean by ethnicity, only by adopted language. Assyrians and Arameans are related, both being Semitic Gentiles. But their history and ethnic makeup is quite distinct.

To complicate matters: there are Aramaic-speaking Assyrian Jews. There are Arabic-speaking Assyrian Muslims. There are Aramaic-speaking Assyrian Muslims. There are Kurdish-speaking Assyrian Catholics. There are English-speaking Assyrian Atheists.

Assyrian = our ethnicity, Aramaic = our language (most of us who are Christian).
