...... I have outlined in a few posts the threats India faces to her culture by Islam and Christianity.........
i should like to take this opportunity to inform the indian members of this forum of the inaccuracy contained in ill-researched post quoted above:-
the christian faith in it's early and original form is NOT a foreign religion to India. The church did NOT come to india only when the brits arrived - as some poorly informed persons may try to portray on this forum .....neither did it come with the usa-americans
The earliest christians arrived in india in the year approx AD 40 soon after the D&R of our beloved and the Christian faith was well-know in south india way, way before any part of north europe was christianised ...it came via the diaspora of the christian brothers and sisters from Syria -Lebanon and they brought their bible in the original Syriac Language ...and that bible is attested as an original manuscript worthy of being designated as "textus receptus" !! no less !
Those originally Syrian Christian brothers and sisters have been a part of the Kerela people for CENTURIES and are no less indian than any other citizen of the republic , ethnically , culturally and in any aspect of indian-ness
the Syrian Orthodox church which has always been firmly based in Kerela is recognised by all leading authorities as one of the very earliest church movements ....
it is true that there are other FORMS of the christian faith coming in these days and perhaps, some may be insensitive to the culture of our people and I WOULD SUPPORT THE REBUKE OF THOSE - IN INSTANCES WHERE SUCH IS MERITED
but the syrian orthodox church is no foreigner - it is an indigenous institution and has lived side by side with the indian people of other beliefs for centuries
i repeat the video reference given in my post in another thread on the subject:-
and the video is
www.youtube.com/watch?v=SK0QLn9vp-c]
it the video you can see the quality of the people giving testimony and the quality of the evidence itself
do your own research if you would like to know better- on the syrian orthodox church ...it may not be the only one indigenous to India ...even the armenian orthodox church has an early indian indigenous chapter that has been in india for CENTURIES way, way before the british arrived
there are one or two on this forum who want to portray the christian faith as a foreign intrusion dividing the people of our precious nation - please do not listen to them - it is an un-informed half-baked lacking knowlegde - iinaccuracy ! - with the objective of - divide and rule !
