THESE ARE NOT SYRIANS, SHIT SKINNED HINDUS JEALOUS OF ARAB CHRISTIAN AND ISLAMIC CULTURE 

[JJMATHIAS23]

@WinkyMaeve We are not jealous of anything you faggot. First of all, we are Orthodox you dumbass. Secondly, Syrian Christian does not mean ethnic people from Syria, it's the language, liturgy, and rituals that were founded in Antioch. What shit country are you from? You shouldn't even talk coming from a terrorist country. The last time I checked our community has 25% of the population that carry the Cohen haplogroup genetic marker unlike the fake Jews coming from Russia living in Israel.

[JJMATHIAS23]

@WinkyMaeve We are called Nasranis, which were used to refer to Jewish Christians in different parts of the world. If you didn't know that Orthodoxy comes from the disciples and the majority of people they converted were Jews. Orthodox Christianity will always be of Jewish origin.

[JJMATHIAS23]

@WinkyMaeve If you were smart, which I highly doubt, then you would have done some research before making some stupid comments. If you haven't noticed, India has over a billion people, so there are people from different parts of the world living there and no one is ever persecuted. I have a feeling you are some filthy Muslim. Your religion is a copy of Judaism and Christianity. Yeah some fucking pedophile named Mohammad copied Jewish and Christian texts.

[JJMATHIAS23]

@WinkyMaeve If you haven't noticed, Islam is the youngest religion. Why the fuck do you think that Islam is not that old? Mohammad was a fucking illiterate retard, so there was no way he could memorize any shit from God. You're from a terrorist country, you shouldn't even be commenting on any videos. I didn't even know they have computers in terrorist countries. What fucking cave do you live in asshole? You fucking Arabs have African blood, take a genetic test and it will clearly show it.

[JJMATHIAS23]

@WinkyMaeve Are you from Iran? It's no surprise that you people bring skin color into this because that's all you people talk about. Your people should worry less about skin color and more about being productive in this world. Iran tries to claim some made up Aryan term invented by some British person. If you make hateful comments about Orthodox people, then we will have a problem.

[WinkyMaeve]

@JJMATHIAS23 lol, the term Aryan refers to Indo-European Racial and linguistic heritage, Armenians, Persians, Italians, Greek, Germans, Irish, etc....

it was not "made up" by anyone, it was a way to denote a certain wider ethnic group in the time of King Cyrus.

You fake ass Arabs.

[JJMATHIAS23]

@WinkyMaeve It's funny how you make fun of Hindu people and call yourself Aryan. The English word Aryan is derived from the Sanskrit word ārya meaning noble, it was used initially as a national name to designate the worshippers of the Hindu deities and especially Indra according to Brahmanical principles (performance of sacrifice, Yajna). Iranians want to be white so bad, but no European will accept them, they see you guys as terrorists 90% of the time. Newsflash you are not white.

[JJMATHIAS23]

@WinkyMaeve Since when are Arabs considered Christians? Maybe they converted, but the majority of Arabs are Muslim. If you call an Assyrian an Arab, then you will certainly regret it. Most Christians in the Middle East are not related to the Arab tribe. Why do you think Assyrians, Syriacs, and Jews keep a separate identity compared to the rest of the Middle East?

[JJMATHIAS23]

@WinkyMaeve Syrian Orthodox Christians have been using Syriac (dialect of Aramaic) long before the start of Christianity. Aramaic was the language of the Middle East and everyone spoke it including the Jews. All Syriacs and Assyrians are related, not just including langauge and religion, but we all use the same surnames but sometimes it's spelled differently.

[JJMATHIAS23]

@WinkyMaeve I took a few Christianity courses and I know that when the Assyrian empire attacked the Jews in about 740 B.C., they took some of them as slaves to their land. There ended up being a lot of half Jewish and half Assyrian people. Every country that the Jews went to escape persecution from, they lived as Jews. The first Christians were and will always be Jews in any part of the world and the rest are all converts.

[JJMATHIAS23]

@WinkyMaeve That's why all Orthdox people have Jewish ethnic origins. I'm proud of my heritage, but we should all be proud to be human beings since we are all related.

[WinkyMaeve]

@JJMATHIAS23 can you please tell me why dark skinned Indian Hindus are calling themselves Syrian?

does Syrian mean something different to you guys??

[JJMATHIAS23]

@WinkyMaeve They are not Hindus for the last time. We have got a lot of people of different skin tones just like the rest of India. Our ancestors are Jews, Arameans, Assyrians, and local Hindus. We have many ethnic looking people some dark and some light and people can also have different features. We don't have any recent ancestry, more like between 3000-1,200 years ago. But we still use Syriac in church and Malayalam at home.

[JJMATHIAS23]

@WinkyMaeve Besides, South India is one of the hottest places in the world. It's near the equator, but we pretty much stand out in South India being more light skinned. You see one dark guy and you quickly assume that the whole community looks like him. I'm not dark or fair but I can pass for Middle Eastern due to my features, but my father looks 100% Middle Eastern if you see him for the first time. You're showing that you are an ignorant racist, it's no surprise because you are Iranian.

[JJMATHIAS23]

@WinkyMaeve Kerala has had trade relations with many nations for thousands of years, including Romans, Egyptians, Phoenicians, Greeks, Arabs, Jews, etc.Let me tell you again that Syrian Orthodox Christian does not ethnically mean people of Syria. It comes from the language, liturgy, and rituals of Edessa and Antioch, where there were one of the first Christians in the world.

[JJMATHIAS23]

@WinkyMaeve Antioch was where the disciples of Jesus Christ were first called Christians, it even says it in the Bible. Syriac is the language spoken, which is a dialect of Aramaic. All Christians that use Syriac are called Syrian Christians. I'm thinking you are a Muslim who lacks a lot of knowledge about Christianity. I hope that I have enlightened you with some information.

[WinkyMaeve]

@JJMATHIAS23 ah okay...it is not an ethnic thing but a linguistic thing, okay.

[Vagabund92]

So they don´t have the same Christian textes(bible) we have?

Whats the different`?

[MultiNick456]

@Vagabund92 The difference is St.Thomas came to India in AD 52 and converted us 7 brahmins (high caste hindus) into christians. Then the gospel spread and followers are now known as orthodox or jacobites. Its an ancient christian community. We follow bible! Our ritualsand ceremonies are almost like greek orthodox churches

[XXXMuSiCMAnIaXXXI]

@MultiNick456 ...there is no need to say brahmin separately...I'm myself a syrian orthodox christian....and I have found this as a bad habit of syrian christians..

[MultiNick456]

@XXXMuSiCMAnIaXXXI

I dont want to impose any caste system here.. sorry if i t meant lyk that.. I just want to give a glimpse abt the history of Indian orthodox church.. and of course they were brahmins. no one can deny the fact.

[JJMATHIAS23]

@MultiNick456 There were barely any brahmins during the time when St. Thomas came. The majority of the people were Buddhist. Most brahmins came in the seventh century to Kerala, so how were they brahmin? The majority of people St. Thomas converted were Jews and with some locals. It's even documented that he was greeted by two rabbis. Why would St. Thomas come to see a bunch of Indians? All the disciples went to all the locations where there were Jews. Is that a coincidence? I think not.

[JJMATHIAS23]

@MultiNick456 Orthodox comes from the disciples, whose mission was to spread the word of Jesus Christ among the house of Israel first and then the gentiles. What the heck kind of brahmin spoke Aramaic or understood Hebrew? You should do some research instead of saying some theory.

[JJMATHIAS23]

@MultiNick456 Sure Syrian Christian men did marry upper caste Hindu women because there were an abundance of them. Syrian Christians were high in the caste system because of the intermarriages and socialization among the people. I would say Syrian Christians are a mix of Jews, Arameans, Persians, and locals. Check out nasrani.net, they have great articles, reliable evidence, and details about Syrian Christians. You can even post questions on the website and experts will answer it.

[XXXMuSiCMAnIaXXXI]

@Vagabund92 ..well there were different texts and a special syriac bible {the true bible}..but these texts were burnt down by portugese for converting them to latin catholic thus creating a permanant drift between communities.

[palmland]

Sir.

Where could I read this digitised documents?

[samptkodiyattu]

St. Thomas In the first place doubted The Resurrection Of Christ like other disciples. However when He Saw The Risen Christ and Touched Jesus Body and the wounds,he realise his mistake,and repented,beleived throughly and completely whereby he(thomas)confessed" My God and my Lord". This was real and his faith was strong. He witnessed Christ in Persia Out of Roman Empire and Travelled to India and did whatever Jesus commanded them to do..The Patron saint of India and Indian Christians St.Thomas!

[mukeshicyboy]

.word doubting thomas should be removed now bcoz it is proved that he was here in india.
