What is in a Language?

The driving force of this ideology is the doctrine of the separation of church and state. Since the church is fractured into many denominations and is dependent on the state exemption from taxation, the state has all the power. Thus religious organizations in America have literally capitalized on this exemption and grown wealthy, to the point that they have become the camel that cannot pass through the eye of the needle.

In the Middle East, the followers of the Messiah have survived among predominantly Islamic populations. A key to this survival is that the Scriptures of the Eastern churches are in the language Eashoa spoke, the Ancient Aramaic. This language shares a common root with Hebrew, Arabic, Farsi and Hindi.

In the English language, the Scriptures have been translated and interpreted as the Bible given to mankind by God and the name of the Messiah has also been changed to Jesus Christ, following a European tradition based on the doctrine that the Greek is the original language of the New Testament and that the Greek Septuagint is the authentic Old Testament.

This emphasis on the Greek language for the interpretation of the Scriptures has also resulted in the incorporation of the Greek literature and philosophy into the Western cultures. Thus the humanistic philosophies of Socrates, Plato and Aristotle have had a profound influence over the Western mind. A dichotomy has developed between the religious leaders and the intellectual elite.

Today, a chasm divides Eastern churches and Western Christianity. Not only the terminology is different, but the interpretation of their faiths are incompatible.

The Western churches have alienated the Eastern churches by calling the latter heretical, through the denial of their Scriptures as being authentic, insisting that the Greek translations are "the original."

Western Christianity has also alienated the Jews. In Israel there is a law against the preaching of Christianity to the Jews.

Christian missionaries have been spreading various Christian denominational religions in all the continents of the world, based on the Greek and Latin traditions. These missionary efforts have alienated not only the Eastern churches, but they are enraging the Muslim fanatics in the East.

The message of Eashoa the Messiah brings peace to the world. Western Christianity should learn from the Eastern churches how to live at peace with Islam and other religions of the world.

How we are to communicate with people is what language is about. The language that Eashoa spoke is called the Ancient Aramaic. It is the language from which I am translating the Scriptures. An accurate interpretation of the Scriptures will lead to peace.
