[crossoverproductions]

Dear Hafidz3

The Bible which is historically and prophetically accurate...has stated that every knee shall bow and every tongue will confess that Yeshua is L-rd....do you want religion or relationship...you need a Messiah ...and He is the Jewish Yeshua...to have an assured place in G-d's kingdom for now and the hereafter....People can defend all they like..but the One true G-d of Abraham Isaac and Jacob is sovereign..

[hafiidz3]

ISLAM WILL NOT BE WIPE OUT ! THERE ARE STILL PEOPLE DEFENDING THE FAITH !

[THEKINGS001]

@hafiidz3 Not for long!!

when i say real muslims , i dont mean these so called moderate western muslims that have comfortable lives in the west , i mean the true muslims that totally believe the koran literaly to the letter , they are the ones with the power , they are the ones that have control, they will follow islam to the letter with no exceptions no remorse ,no doubt , they are the ones we should be fearing , we should be taking them seriously not moderates ,they have no say only fluff for gullible westerners

[bestinfadel]

when i say real muslims , i dont mean these so called moderate western muslims that have comfortable lives in the west , i mean the true muslims that totally believe the koran literaly to the letter , they are the ones with the power , they are the ones that have control, they will follow islam to the letter with no exceptions no remorse ,no doubt , they are the ones we should be fearing , we should be taking them seriously not moderates ,they have no say only fluff for gullible westerners

[bestinfadel]

the truth is when the usa finally leaves iraq completely the real bloodshed will start , we will see violence like never before between muslims , they will absolutely show there true colors to the world with utter violence , they will literally make iraq into a giant grave , iraqi christian i say too you get your people out while you still can , it hasnt even begun yet ,the killing will start with the christians first like always is the case , let them destroy themselves

[bestinfadel]

christians have always been persecuted by muslims when they have the power ,there is no freedom for them in a muslim country , always living in fear ,these iraqi christians are better of leaving

[bestinfadel]

islam is ugly, evil , disgusting , unjust , racist , it destroys everything around it , it is not worthy to be called a religon more like a cult of the devil,mohammad is a filthy ,dirty slob, he has fooled these people into becoming muslims , and his insane cult is still destroying to this very day , what a shame the middle east could of been a great place in the world now nothing more than a shit hole

[bestinfadel]

i think islam is the most evil ideology that has ever been created by man , it cannot continue , it will eventually destroy everything around it , these assyrians are being wiped out in iraq , they will be totally gone within a few years , where are the moderate muslims , why arent they speaking out , because there is no such thing as a moderate muslim , you cant be moderate and muslim at the same time , its impossible !! you either believe or you pretend to believe

[MrHawklan]

Christians are the elect of God. The Bible never used the word 'Christians' in there but it uses the word 'ELECT' many times. Christians are the elect. The ones whose hearts are made flesh. We don't deserve to enter heaven but through Christ we are able to to. The SINLESS, SPOTLESS lamb of God. He is our intercessor.

However in Islam if your son commits Jihad and dies as a terrorist he automaticallys become a 'intercessor for 32 members of hes immediate family. See how totally warped this is?

[MrHawklan]

As usual we will see Muslims taking Bible verses out of context to justify their point they conveniently forget the whole passage. They will continue to believe in a cult that came 600 yrs after the original judea christian faith which they conveniently claim was lost.

If God was supreme...how would he be so incompetent to allow he's gospel go missing for so many centuries.

Islam is for fools. Noone in his right mind will ever put he's salvation on an uneducated 'kingpin' of Mecca.

[hannahr77]

So now tell me if Abraham spoke aramaic how did the hebrew language come about, JESUS spoke hebrew if not then why does the israelis speak hebrew today in Israel, the Old Testament is written in Hebrew so now tell me how did we translated into english if JESUS and the Jews spoke aramaic get a clue, in Arabia the Jews also spoke hebrew now tell me why if the ppl is suppose ot speak aramaic

[tFighterPilot]

@hannahr77 Abraham probably didn't speak Aramaic. He probably spoke some Eastern Semitic language (an extinct branch). Jesus spoke Aramaic because that was the language spoken in Judea since the 4th-5th century BC.

[hannahr77]

@tFighterPilot

so now tell me which language do the ppl in Israel speak today is it aramaic or some eastern semitic extinct branch language, and what language did Paul speak and the Jews living in S. Arabia at the time of muhammad, where did Paul go after his conversion? And why he did do so?

[tFighterPilot]

@hannahr77 Hebrew, of course. Though the centuries years of speaking Aramaic have made their impact on modern Hebrew. The Jews in Arabia spoke either Aramaic or Arabic, probably something in between. Go to Wikipedia, everything is there.

[hannahr77]

@tFighterPilot

no my friend 80% of the hebrew spoken in Israel today is from the Tanak, and now answer me tis if no 1 spoke Hebrew for 1000's of years then why are the ppl in today israel speaking it? The Jews in S. Arabia spoke Hebrew they also read Hebrew and therefore had to write it, it's recorded in the hadith which I take over wikipedia, the uncle of muhammads first wife could read and write Hebrew how could this be if no 1 knew Hebrew

[dalyag11]

I am soo thankfull of being a christian where i was taught to love my enemies. thats all I got to say, btw Jesus was killed for our sins , he healed the blind and gave forgivness to the sinners.. No one has this power put God and the son of God Jesus. Bless you all

[cummbar]

I am Assyrian Christian In America and im Proud of speaking Jesus Language to this day. I Love Jesus Christ

[bloodcheif]

Long live Arameans(suryoyo) Long live Aramaic!

[munchenm6]

THANK YOU!!! for this video. Steve thank for speak about me and my fathers befor me I am Cheldean american Jackline

[wakbangbang]

2days news, 5 troops died 2day by their own comrade, - who must have been fed up with these murderous criminals and saw them for who they really are. This is not the first instance, nor the last. This is a frequent occurence whenever muslims are fought. God punishes the enemy with their own hand while the muslims attain victory wether alive or dead, as they are satisfied with either result.

[pooinurshoe7]

That's sick! The soldier did it because he was mentally stressed after going back to Iraq 3 times for extended tours. He just snapped.

Do you think the soldiers want to be away from their families because of this "worthy cause?" NO.

So I'm pretty sure most of what you said, you just pulled out of your butt.

Oh yeah, and what's up with the suicide bombers killing more Iraqis than those "blood-thirsty" Americans?

[wakbangbang]

Some taliban and foreign troops have been defending their homeland and their extended family homelands for up to 30+ years & over 3+ wars, yet still an incident like that wud be unthinkable amongst our brothers. and as for wether or not the soldiers want 2 be there its up 2 u if u want 2 go and kill innocent ppl, id rather starve 2 death than make killin innocents a dayjob. Dont u think the nazis under hitler cud find the same excuse. As 4 the suicide bombings alqaeda does not do this.tyhate it

[wakbangbang]

copy & paste this on ur search bar: Exclusive-Do Iraqi Mujaheden Target Civilians.. Its not us who kill innocent iraqis. America does it to get the civilian population to hate us. Its a modern day deceptive, snaky war tactic the unbelievers love to use against us. They also love to blow up Shia places of worship to bring about sectarian conflicts. They interrogate a civilian at a checkpoint and ask him where he is going, then if its in their interest they plant a bomb... Divide and conquer!

[ProfChald]

Bull shit, my parents said they were free to pray when ever they wanted, they went to Church and Saddam respected Christianity. The problem is Bush should have protected the christians prior to the invasion. Bush should be paying for every christian to live safe and have them Guarded. So Sad, as if Bush had no Idea Christians lived in Iraq

[bigant1106]

LONG LIVE CHALDEANS

[ront1015]

long live the assyrians

[473specop]

And if islam does rule the world abdulbade it will also ruin the world! Evil is all you're good at.

[abdulbade]

islam will rule the world

[Caleb000007]

How on earth can a bunch of uneducated peasants rule the world?

Thats a silly statement you should think before you speak.

Muhumed was in error and the quran's claims will never come to pass.

Why does Ibn kathir tell us muhumed slept with a 9 year old?

[wakbangbang]

they already have ruled the world and they will in the future. Bush promised us defeat and Allah promised us victory, We will see in time whos words is true!

[Caleb000007]

When did they rule the world? I cant' recall when they were in England, Germany, what about USA and south America. The English commonwealth is still probably bigger then any Islamic empire that ever was!! Anyway its been a thousand years since any Islamic empire was considered great. Islam will be wiped out most probably.

[pooinurshoe7]

What about the Ottoman Empire? The empire ended in 1918. That's a little less than a thousand years.

Islam will never rule the world, but there are extremists who are willing to do everything they can to wreak as much havoc and cause as many deaths as possible to try to achieve such a thing.

[Caleb000007]

Bro the ottoman empire was far from great! Most of the muslims inside it hated the ottoman empire it was full of division and chaos.

[hostaden]

@Caleb000007 " will be wiped..." keep dreaming my friend

[hannahr77]

@hostaden

yes islam will be wiped out, and that's a fact my dear lost friend 

[MrHawklan]

@hannahr77 Christ will be doing the wiping out.

[hannahr77]

@MrHawklan

yes and all praise to the LAMB OF GOD, the HOLY SON OF GOD

[KING3283BOOM]

@Caleb000007 wow how wrong can a person be. know your facts before you start making random assumptions and stating random facts. you need a history lesson, because otherwise, i dont know about Islam, but you for one will be "wiped out".

and "when did they rule the world"? where in the world did u hear that the world was always centered around US, UK and Germany? im sorry but history didnt start in the 1900's... or even the 1800's.

[snowlyakanrj]

Muslims Are No Doubt The Evilist People In This World Yet They Say That: Islam Is A Peaceful Religion Of Tolerance. :-|

[CelticFan1988]

and they call uss rasist islam is evil this vid just show s that they hate all othere people that is not of there faith

[Fuckegyptianmuslim]

fuck islam

[YadhiraZ]

Bring the Aramaic-speaking Christians to the USA and stop importing those who have prejudices towards other faiths. We need to protect these people from persecution.

[Assyria4eva]

autonomy in our ancestral lands in Nineveh plains is the only solution for our survival

[azrekT]

lol

[Assyria4eva]

whats so funny?

[ditte3]

Amazing.Thank you for osting.i'll pray for those christians.

[MementoExpose]

Christianity in Iraq cannot die, something must be done

[cactusjack111]

No bigger terorists than all this sionist inspired,dick "head" cheney manipulated contellation of yankee assassins.

Muslims don't invade others and kill their children,they just settle for pro-active resistance.

Have a little stroll in the books of history,it is littered with pure evil 100%...made in:

Judeo-christian unholy coalition.

[riberdy17]

according to who? you! half the muslims in iraq were christians forced to convert to islam so you go take a long walk through history genius you are right about zionist. jesus came with no army and invaded no land followers beleive in his message of peace mohomed gained power through war and chaos and promises virgins and glory so wich is more peaceful

[MrHonestDick]

Religion is a refusal to accept reality.

[crossoverproductions]

This is a forum for open discussion of actual thoughts and ideologies, not profanity...if you can't express an idea without attacking a person or using profanity we will block you.

[edStueart]

Doesn't the US Army issue dress (Class A) uniforms to enlisted men anymore?

Sergeant, you are going on TV, get properly dressed for it!

Marines know not to where utilities to church, ceremonies and television appearances!

:->

[edStueart]

...and some Marines mistype "where" when they mean "wear"...

[Kakleas]

Yikes! American, non-Arabic nor Aramaic speaking people, trying to talk about our Christian brethren in the near East. While I can respect American Protestants, I get uncomfortable when American Protestantism gets to interpret the lives of near Eastern Christians who've been Christian for millenia. Sounds a bit arrogant to me.

[beachman007]

how many more people do you have to kill to make Iraq a better country? I was not a big fun of Saddam @ all but in his time there were no terrorist as saddam hanged them when he found any. but since you Americans went there you created terrorism and killing innocent people by thousands. That's not what Jesus Christ preached. try to follow him properly

[Cascade713]

True--there were not many terrorists - only one. That was saddam. Hekilled several hundred "thousand"Kurds. That stopped when GI s took him out. Kurds love America and Bush.

[beachman007]

as i said i am glad saddam's gone but don't forget that Bush has not done you a favour in the long run.

peace

[riberdy17]

kurds love israel

[kantharalak]

Is that chuck norris on the shofar?

[AlexandraLara]

By the way Bardot doesnt hate Assyrians. My cousin is Assyrian and did an interview with her. She was fascinated that he spoke an ancient language of Jesus. I just cant stand her because she calls herself a french patriot but married a German???

[AlexandraLara]

Im Assyrian not Muslim nor Arab. Im also French, Russian, so ummmm get your head out your ass sweetheart. Im Christian and speak Aramaic. Im not "those" people, and no i dont hate her cause she hates Arabs which Im not one. I hate her for the fact that shes just dumb.

[AlexandraLara]

What a moron the guy who interviews him. People want to learn romance languages french, and spanish?? No people choose they languages because they are easy to learn.

[AlexandraLara]

Yeah yeah father. Im Assyrian Iraqi, and since the invasion Assyrians have been killed by Kurdish people who are trying to hijack our identity. Yeah the very same Kurds you support help the Assyrians. I rather live with my Arab brothers thanks.

[AlexandraLara]

I am Assyrian Iraqi and all I want is peace and to be around and enjoy both my Assyrian language, and my Arab, and Israeli brothers cultures as well.

[riberdy17]

you fucking dumb ass assyrians took jews into slavery for 60 years and now we are dying because of them and thier zionist movement and you think they are friends of are who do you think is putting the kurds up to hijaking our identity they preach hate against us maybe you should open your eyes go read the protocols of zion then come talk about how israel is your buddy stupid

fuck no wonder our people are suffering because we have brainiacs like you spreading ignorance

[oldsteinar]

Good luck and God bless all men of good will.  Gramps

[XXninebXX]

muslim is the worst religion

muslim represents evil

and cruel religion

why the hell would they want to erase the iraqi natives

fucking assholes

[beachman007]

hello to all,

I would like to ask this to Christ and the Jews.

why would you believe in the bible which is full of contradictions?

No offend to any one.

Many thanks

[HSJournal]

I'm not a Bible scholar, but the "contradictions" you talk about are when people take things out of context. You see examples all the time on television. A newsperson will take a few seconds out of a three minute comment and give it a particular slant. Also, Bible prophesies are very accurate.

[beachman007]

Dear Hs; how would you explain this WAR OR PEACE? Exo 15:3 THEN ROM 15:33

Who is the father of Joseph? Mat 1:16 then 3;23.

HOW MANY HORSEMAN? K11 4:26 OR CH2 9:25 and I can shwo you many more. I don't think that context has got any thing to do with all these.

[HSJournal]

Let me take this in segments: 1) God is perfect in all his attributes; but, his holiness and righteousness demand judgements for violations. In the Old Testament sin equaled death; but God's love covered us so he gave his son (in the New Testament) to have peace through grace.

[HSJournal]

2) Not sure what you were getting at when you made reference to Mat 1:16 then 3:23. There is no Mat 3:23 (Matthew ends with 3:17).

[HSJournal]

2) Continued: You are possibly referring to Luke 3:23, where there are two variations of the name of Joseph's father. There are several explanations. Names have variations. There are "nick names". My own name has three different versions. My close family call me by one name, business associations another, etc.

[HSJournal]

2) More: As I mentioned, I am not a Bible scholar; but, my name has a Hebrew spelling, Greek Spelling, and Aramaic spelling (and also English). There is not contradiction, even though there are four spellings they all refer to me.

[beachman007]

in 2 kings says Ahaziah was 22 when it began to Reign. and then in 2 Chronicales says Ahaziah was 42 when it began to Reign.

was is 22 or 42? also 2Samuels 6:23 and 21:8, how many sons?

I am confused broter.

[insaner169]

matt and luke are two different genealogies, one through mary, the other through joseph, joseph's was cursed (jehoachim/jeconiah) so therefore could not be Jesus' actual genealogy. and if you read luke 3:23, youll notice that it doesnt say that joseph's dad was heli, "son of" is a term of descendence, hence "Jesus the son of David" (or Heli) doesnt mean His dad was david.. due to a proviso found in the book of numbers, genealogy can be traced through the mother in certain cases (as was Jesus')

[insaner169]

God of peace vs God being a warrior.. can He be both? if He is God over everything.. wouldnt that be the case? also, in times of war, how do you bring peace?

and not sure what you mean by K11 4:26

[beachman007]

Peace be with you brother. First of all I would like to make clear that we Muslims believe in the bible but the original one which has been vanished. but still in this bible we can still see some God's words but mostly humans world. any way back to the condradiction. In 2 kings says..........

[insaner169]

which original one? cuz the one we use today we have found fragments of that are dated from the year 67AD.. right around when the first witnesses were still there. so when were they corrupted? considering this claim im guessing you dont know much about your own quran then.. of which there were several different conflicting copies which the caliphs all fought for supremacy of.. the one which you have today just being the survivor of that struggle

[HSJournal]

2) Just a little to add to point two: Some people try and make contradictions over the two family lists for Jesus found in the Bible; but, one list is the family of Joseph and one list is the family of Mary.

[HSJournal]

3) Would address your third question; however, I'm not sure what you are implying with " K11 4:26 OR CH2 9:25". Are these Biblical references?

[HSJournal]

Finally, when you ask Jesus into your life the Holy Spirit helps you understand the Bible. The more I study the bible the more amazed I am. Good luck on your search!!

[AlexandraLara]

Ummmm read the Quran sweetie thats the contradiction. Ahem....peace.

[brigittebardot56]

bardot is forever she is a real nice person

[riberdy17]

why would you belive in a man who fucks nine year olds kills and promise you virgins for your life if islam is peace why did mohomed walk with a sword and jesus walk unarmed either mohomed had no faith that god was his assurety to full life or he was a war lord not prophet and he conquered people were as people submit to the word of christ because they believe in his message of peace no matter what you say about the bible can you deny that christs only purpose was to bring peace you can not

[beachman007]

RIBERDY- obviously not you have a clue about Islam but you know not much about the bible- let me open your brian abit- Muslims believe in Jesus but the bible says a different history as it shows Jesus as a violent man read below

NUM 31:17 Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him HOSEA 13:16 ISEAH 13:15

LUKE 19:27-But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me

[ChristianLove7]

If you want to meet other christians for dating or friendship, check my profile.

God bless Ron Paul, He is the only true conservative Christian that will put a stop to this madness. Google Ron Paul for president. God Bless our brave soldiers!

[crossoverproductions]

please keep the cursing and language under control...this is a platform for DISCUSSION not profanity.

[HSJournal]

Amen!!

[mysanitysgone]

this pagan on pagan violence needs to stop, this is bullshit!

[hageorge1966]

The difference is Muslims are killing Muslims and the Christians are in the middle.

Muslims Stop Fucking each other first

[IG4GC]

When Iraqi christians are suffering, the whole world gets their aid packages ready for them, but when they hear of iraqi muslims who really are suffering and getting killed, the world (christian world) turn up their Ipods..

[violator557]

Thats cause christians just sit there and go to church in peace , iraqi muslims go to church....packed with explosives oh and they also walk in mosques...packed with explosives , killing either own kind for small differneces in their religion , pretty barbaric if you ask me.

[AlexandraLara]

Really? Interesting since Iraqi Christians just happened to have people living outside Iraq. Why because Muslims hated them. So yes I sent to my family. Other whys we were ignored as well. So shoosh! Nobody gave a shit about Iraqis in general.

[justinelhillow]

No muslims dont hate christians... crazy ones do, just like crazy christians hate muslims.

[IG4GC]

Christianity like this represents a racist evil religion, that forces young children to have sex with their older cousins. hint: Warren Jeffs

[abc123jan]

Christian hypocrites, was it not Iraqi Christian Soldiers you killed during the wars? Was it not German Christians you killed during WW2? Was it not Christian Americans you killed during the civil war?

Christian murder their own spiritual brothers, Christiandom is flawed.

[XXninebXX]

lol muslims are worser than christians

they kill there own people in same country

they bomb other people

and im a christian of iraq

[TheBodyguard7777]

That is a stereotype that is zero merit. If you bothered to research Mormonism in the Light of the Word of God you would not hurl that idiotic comment on here.

[haszK]

You are completely wrong!

[HSJournal]

People love to make sweeping generalizations. I am a Messianic Jew and one of my best friends is Muslim. We have worked together for 20 years and have no problems with each other. We respect each other's religions.

[AlexandraLara]

Yes they do HS they think if Jews see Muslims in the streets they want to choke one another. I go to a Jewish bakery just to eat some of the goodies and I end up talking with some REAL fundimental Jews and oh my God when they talk they are soooooooo nice!!! Not the idea anyone would get. my good friends are Jewish and Im Assyrian.

[nyonan]

JesusBringsDeath, as to what you said I have to disagree, God came to save his People by grace! Jesus brought forth light of Life not Death, He is the Way and the Truth and the Life!

[nyonan]

I am a full Gospel servant of God, the catholic is a false church of god by the operation of demonic spirit and I am Assyrian my self and no lie and once was a former Catholic and now a Deacon! Hey, not to mention that God hate religion, is about salvation and relationship with Jesus, not religion! Receive the fire of God, then you'll understand! Satan is the father of all lies, including man made traditional churches!

[ChaoticSounds]

war-loving violent cold-hearted capitalist american pigs ARE bad, as an american, i won't take offense to that because i'm not one of those you described, i'm the peace-loving forgiving, open-minded american pig ^_^, i just hope you don't assume all americans are bad.. because that would be closed-minded and pig-headed of you

[Sanharib]

Thank you for this Video crossover-team. I'm an Assyrian too. I hope Assyrian christians and jews will get a strong relationship. Freedom and fully independence for Assyria & Israel!

[AssyrianXTC]

I hope and pray to God the west isn't trying to get the Assyrians slaughtered again as they did back in WW1 and WW2. Maybe this time they will achieve the extinction of Assyrians from Middle East?

I can see another genocide happening now to the Assyrian nation, as Assyrians had the greatest loss from this war with Iraq, which I blame the west. How long will this Anti-Assyrian go on for? God will come to earth and judge you for your actions.

[TanJuan]

last line the should be Iraqis dont's think of christians as "infidels". Most christians Iraqis will tell you they lived with muslims as one family with no problems. I don't understand these *distorions* of facts in all forms of media. In fact muslims refer to christians and jews as believer because they pray to the same god of Abraham. : God in english = Hashem in hebrew = Allah in arabic = same thing!.

[mzait]

its not the same -there are 44 conflicts between muslims and non muslims around the world. They appear to live together in peace while theri clerics teach them the koran-" fight the infedel until he submits"kill teh jew etc-but they also have a passage saying Issah (JEsus) is mesiah" as clear as day

[TanJuan]

I's love to debate this pastor, some of his statements are incorrect. I lived in the region for many years.:1) christians were NOT 2nd class citisens, everybody was a 2nd class including muslims and arabs *except* Bathists.2) some "insurgents" target everybody including mosques and muslim civialns.3) Iraqis don't think of Christians as "indidels", just political excuse by some idiots

[SultanBorat]

Catholic church didn't exist until the fourth century, Before that there was a loose confederation of churches and a myriad rabble of sects that later were deemed heretics. Constantine convinced all the major church heads to get on board and start establishing some firm structure define key common doctrines Basically it was a big merger or Amalgamation of sorts . Jesus founded the religion not any specific "church" .

[SultanBorat]

Thomas means "twin" in aramiac , I am curious though as to why he was called this. Apparently his name was Judas so perhaps it was to distinguish him from the other two Judas especially Iscariot. Is there any traditions that say Thomas enjoyed teaching with riddles? Ive heard somewhere about this

[SultanBorat]

Christianity original prime hubs were Egypt,Turkey,Syria,Palestine. What we call the west was a pagan dominated region and if not for the eastern Christians the western world would have never have became Christendoms , Theodosius came to rescue the western churchmen from the persecution of paganist western rulers of the time who had hatred for the Christian religion .

[JohnnyJilu]

As an Assyrian I would like to say thank you and God Bless you.

[regalparks]

Some researchers say that the original new testament was most likely written in Aramaic, not Greek

[DanVilAl]

The different books of the new testament were written in difeerent places at different dates, and from the language characteristics, this cannot be true. probably one or two gospels had an aramaic form, at most, but it's dubious.

[IfourI]

where is your proof or should we just take your word for it anyways these facts have been proven time and time again so go spread your propoganda spmewhere else enough is enough

[davidaud777]

The people that knew Jesus spoke Aramaic. That was the language of the holy land at that time...not greek. So it's just a matter of common sense. When it comes to the gospels, there is no such thing as absolute proof because nobody has the original copies of the gospels

[davidaud777]

Wrong, when it comes to the gospels, nobody knows for sure. There are no original copies. It would make sense that the originals were in Aramaic because that was the language of Jesus and his followers.

[DanVilAl]

But not a big literary language like greek was at the time in the Easter Mediterranean. Matthew may come from a semitic source, but it was finally redacted in Antioch in Greek. Luke is certainly Greek, its words, its style, and the church tradition says so atributing it to St. Luke, an helenistic physician. Of course the oral tradition about Christ was first in aramaic and then put in written form in the Greek gospels. The Peshitta has some traits that show that is a translation from Greek.

[mzait]

May Christianity never be erased from the Mid East, because if it is, Europe and the west is next.Muslims are not a good neighbour to have.

[ww2fan39]

But i want one.

[mzait]

Arm these poor Christians to defend themsleves. Look at the Lebanese Christian Militia.If it wasnt for them, there wouldnt be a single cross in the whole country.Arm them! Tanks,Small arms and grenade launchers.Train them, they can then defend themselves.

[JesusBringsDeath]

Jesus Christ wills Bush's armies to slaughter the Muslims. Bush is a man of God, and he surrounds himself with spiritual people like Cheney, Rumsfeld, Pat Robertson, and Ted Haggard. Drop bombs on Muslims and force them to accept The Bible. Christianity spreads across the Middle East leaving a trail of death and destruction in honor of Jesus Christ, Lord of Death. Jesus blesses the Christian soldier who kills for Him. To love Jesus is to kill for Jesus. Bless you.

Thanks for taking the time to share your beliefs.

Thank G-d we live in a Judeo-Christian country that allows people to share their dissent. You are witty with your website and youtube name...we pray that you will one day use this to serve the G-d of Abraham Isaac and Jacob...

Jesus brings....you are an idiot.you should have your nuts dipped in honey and thrown to the lesbians

[mzait]

we dont need to confuse Bushes economic war with Jesus. There is a vast difference in philiosophies. Christians dont need to bomb Muslims or anyone else into hearing the Word of Chrsit. In africa alone there are 6 mil muslim converts per year,16,000 baptisms a day, not counting new ground in CHina,Turkey,Egypt etc depsite muslim brutality and intimidation.

thank god some of are people still have some respect thanx from stepping and appoligizing on behalf of our small and narrow minded friend

[AgiosGiorgios]

we assyrians and catholics and syriacs have a true catholic/orthodox faith founded by saint thomas the apostle! you evangelists, protestants, and whatever other piece of crap churches, were founded by idiotic Americans in the past 200 or less years, so your faith is of a fake religion. dont you dare try to convert us!

[crossoverproductions]

I'm sorry you feel this way...however..I don't think that

St. Thomas would have this attitude . The only conversion needed is of the heart...Have you read the New Testament lately?

[SultanBorat]

That is a great deal of ignorance of history. Mormons,JWs,Unis and what have you are American churches. Baptists ,Lutherans other protestants have originated from Europe and only emerged in 14th century due to a era of corruption in the catholic church and protested un pious activities that had crept into the church and by doing so forced the church to clean itself up. Christ doesn't belong to any church but in the heart and scripture.

[AgiosGiorgios]

Why don't you guys convert back to the very church Christ himself founded? Become Catholic or Eastern Orthodox!

[SultanBorat]

Christ himself founded? LOL

[AgiosGiorgios]

did i studder? did i sound like i was joking? idiots!

[zedrein18]

Whats so funny about that? Jesus Christ is the founder of CHRISTianity.

[Freedom4Assyria]

Christ be with you all.

Isaiah 19:23-25

In that day shall there be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria, and the Egyptians shall serve with the Assyrians.

In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, even a blessing in the midst of the land.

Who the lord of hosts shall bless, saying Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel mine inheritance.

[crossoverproductions]

amen.

[classiquebonita]

God bless you. I am Coptic Orthodox. The worship of Christ in Egypt is prophesised in the Bible; '...there will be an altar to the Lord in the land of Egypt and a stone pillar dedicated to him at the Egyptian border.' Isaiah 19:19

[samuel1776]

Rev.Steve Missick is a hero. I wish there were more people like you in this world. When this video starts circulating amongst the Assyrian population, we will all prey for you. I can't believe that us, the Assyrians went from a great Empire to this. Thank you Crossover and Rev. Steve Missick.

[prduckling]

Don't worry, it's never too late, look at the work and miracles of Jesus Christ now, this Christian Persecution is all happening as a Wake-Up Call to the World, that We Shall rise (with God's will) and take over what was OURS!!!!!

God Bless The Aramaic People and God Bless America.....

[jvlle06]

This is Amazing! Be Praise God Almighty!!!

[napster835]

thanks great video! iam an assyrian and i thank you for showing this video

[philonz]

i am an arab myself, but beleive that we as acountry and as a human race owe alot to our assyrian brethren, they have given so much to the arab civilisation and the western one too. lets make the world aware of these most ancient and rich cultured people.

[IfourI]

wow I wish every arab was like u but do you think any one else wants that no because they trying to erase us from history and are trying to distort our existence

[philonz]

the assyrians are the indigenous people of iraq and deserve privellages within their homland of iraq. this extermination and ill treatment of assryians that has happened and is happening since the rise of islam is evil, wrong, immoral and must stop.

[Peacefede]

The Assyrian , chaldeans ,and the syriac orthodex are the indigenous proplr of Iraq.

[IfourI]

well said

[Royak]

Sad Saddom for all his evil at least he keep the Jihadis from killing Christians. I was their at the begining of the insurgence, it was so sad to see what would obvesious lay in the future for Iraqi Christians after the Muslims no longer had to worry about Saddom punishments. Pray for them.

[crossoverproductions]

We need to pray and be politically active to fight this WWIII that we're in..western civilization vs. Radical Islamo-Fascism. Thanks for being a subscriber of our videos..I hope that they will bless you.

shalom.
