<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Asha 'look I'm a genuine Syrian True christian' matheeeew:
Syriac is the language spoken by Christ and the Apostles and its usage indicates the connection it had with St Thomas.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->Umm, the theologians that argue for a real jeebus and his apostles have insisted that Aramaic was the lingo of jeebus and his pals. Was jeebus' life set in Syria (part of the eastern end of the Roman empire then)? Or was it set in Galilee and the then non-existent Nazareth, and the like?
<b>EDIT:</b> Just did a search. Syriac (early or modern) is not the same as modern Syrian, but one of several languages classified as Aramaic. Still, ashaw is left with two problems: (1) first need proof for a real jeebus creepus and then (2) require proof that he spoke Syriac and not another language of the Aramaic group. Good luck with (1).
Early christian liturgy may be in Syriac for all we care, but no evidence of jeebus means no evidence of what tongue he uttered the stuff which the late Gospels' attribute to him.
Ashaw makes too many mistakes.
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->St Thomas was linked to King Gondophorus of Pakthia (a place in Pakistan)<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->'Pakthia'? Isn't that in Afghanistan today? Yupp, just confirmed with googling. Hard for Ashaw and fellow 'true' Syrian christos to understand, but Pakthia is not the TS of Pakistan, though Ashaw might think the names are too similar to be coincidence. (Does she know Pukestan only came into existence recently?)
I know that non-education is a christo trait and ignorance a cherished christo endeavour (christos wish to be like the non-existent unlearned apostle dunces), but in today's world where school is compulsory, people of the Indian subcontinent at least should be able to get a few simple things right.
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->St Thomas was linked to King Gondophorus of Pakthia <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->Yes, st thomas has been linked to everywhere. Doesn't make him or his 'fabulous' travels and travails true. Jeebus creepus has even been linked to Japan (I kid you not). Mwahahaha
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->this was considered a myth till the end of the 19th century, when coins bearing the name of Gondophorus were unearthed in Pakistan.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->Can't believe Ashaw, her geography is pathetic, her sense of factual history is non-existent, until I see proof, her claims to archaeological knowledge must be considered unreliable (probably kooked up by christo bishops to feed to the flock).
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->The visit of St Thomas to India is considered a fact in all ancient Christian centers.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->But of course it's considered a fact amongst christo congregations. Ecclesiastical tradition has been considered facts for a long time, even though when most of these traditions were invented in the 2nd to 5th centuries people knew they were not true. Christianism has a lot of fantasies to make up for: it sorely lacks facts. Hence in christoism, fantasy became fact through the process of faith. Faith can move mountains. Ashaw and the others should keep trying by faith and prayer to plead with gawd to make it all true. Only a miracle can.
