True Faith

Today, we do not find the Faith in the Lord Eashoa's Name among the Westerners, except for a handful of men and women scattered all over the world, who have nothing to do with organized religion, those who look back at the origin of the Scriptures and recognize that the Creator of the Universe was in constant communication with humanity from the very beginning, and that the teachings of Eashoa the Messiah are a fulfillment of everything recorded from the dawn of history.

The proof of this is all the wars, calamities and confusion over which religion is right.

The Original Scriptures have been abandoned by the Western Churches and there is no one here to claim them, except for the few who recognize them to be the only authentic remnant of the Apostolic Faith of the original followers of the Messiah Eashoa.

The Ancient Church of the East began in the Holy Lands, but was driven out by the Romans in the 1st Century of Christianity. It was established in Mesopotamia six centuries before the advent of Islam. (Remnants of this Church are still surviving in today's Iraq, Iran, Syria, Turkey and Lebanon; most have fled to Western countries.) On the other hand, there were only a small number of converts among the Greeks and the Romans at the time of the Apostles. The Romans killed thousands of the early Christians. The genocide against the followers of Jesus continued for four hundred years. Ironically, after the Muslims conquered Mesopotamia and the Holy Lands, they allowed the followers of the Messiah to maintain their Faith much more than the Roman Church did after Emperor Constantine converted to Christianity. The Roman Church saw Eastern Christianity as an alien form of Christianity, because the Easterners still maintained the Apostolic Faith and the Jewish traditions, including the Ancient Aramaic Scriptures. But today, after all the genocidal waves of conquerors and exploiters, the Ashurai nation is on the verge of extinction.

Also, it should be noted that the Ancient Aramaic language is older than the Hebrew language. The Hebrew language is a derivative of the Ancient Aramaic anyway, just as are the Koine Greek and all the Eastern languages that share in the tradition of the Scriptures. Today, Protestants, who were themselves Catholic and followed the Roman Church traditions until the 16th Century, think that their form of Christianity is based on the original Faith in Jesus the Messiah; but this is not the case. The Protestant religion, which followed the Reformation, is based on the same fallacy that the Old Testament Scriptures were recorded in Hebrew and the New Testament Scriptures were recorded in Greek. Furthermore, the Protestants reject the legitimacy of the Ancient Church of the East and all other Eastern Churches, including the Orthodox Churches, based on their bias against the Jewish traditions and the Early Christian traditions, which they have branded 'ritualistic," as if they themselves are free of rituals. Because of their self-righteous attitudes, the Protestants are much more at fault for causing the strife between different religions today.

Eastern Christianity maintained the Scriptures in the original language, even though the scripts of the various dialects of the Aramaic language are different in form. The alphabet is the same twenty-two letters, however. The entire alphabet is made up of consonants, and the vowels are marked with small dots and strokes.
