  1. EagleEye,

    I wrote a research paper for one of my Theology courses in regards the apostolic foundation of the Church of the East, and I devoted almost 6 pages to the four main founders: Sts. Thomas and Addai are the well known founders, and Sts. Aggai and Mari are not as well known, but also important for us the in the Catholic Church of Mesopotamia and the East. I can always send you the paper whenever you like, and if you wanted to discuss more about Thomas, Addai, Aggai, and Mari, I wouldn't mind if you make a thread in the off topic section. Here is some basic info. on the lesser known disciples:

    Aggai succeeded Addai in governing the Church in Edessa, and was eventually martyred by the unbelieving son of the noble king Abgar Ukama, during the time when the son became a king himself after his father died.

    Mari is credited with Addai as the founders of the Assyrian-Chaldean worship service, often known in scholarship as the liturgy or anaphora of Addai and Mari. Mari is the missionary to Babylonia, which at the time, was part of the Parthian or Persian Empire. He was sent by Addai eastward to Nisibis, then descended to Arbela (Erbil), and further south until he reached Seleucia on the river Tigris and Ctesiphon in Babylonia. He established in this area the first church.

    It's awesome that you've received a doctorate in Theology, that's pretty cool. Take care,

    netinfo...I would be delighted and honored to read your paper and will indeed start a post in the off topic section...in this short post you have already given more info about Addai than my "colleagues" have found...I am working on a new book that I will also share with you....My first book was published by Servant Press (Catholic Publisher)....it went into about 16 languages and still is being read...thanks again for your honesty and openess...be blessed

  2. Listen Netinfo, you are not the only one that is not from the US, in fact this land is a melting pot of many nationalities from different parts of the earth. If a person is American Indian then look what happened to their land and thats another subject. If you are not then you can say your ancestors are from another country, so what I'm saying is you fit in with the majority of us. I couldn't speak a word of English when I started grade school in Texas. The part I like is you had the courage to tell us about it. Coming on the chats/forum with different names does not mean anything, except you are human and just wanting to fit in. Sometimes people will treat you like you are invisible if they think you are not as they are, looking for fame and fortune. But notice how much attention you are getting now if you think I'm jerking your chain! lol

    Seriously I and most of us as you see, really appreciate you come on here and sharing this post with us. I think you are fantastic and if you get bashed for telling the truth, well, I wonder how many stones they were able to throw on their perfect road through life! lol Thanks again and best wishes to you!

    Truth is MOST of us really don't know our true heritage anyway....I learned at my father's funeral that he was a full-blooded Cherokee....but we were always told growing up...."we're Heinz....57 varieties".....the Bible says He made from ONE BLOOD ALL the nations on the face of the earth...." so Netinfo...GOOD FOR YOU...I for one appreciated all you shared...:wave:

  3. I, therefore, am a Chaldean. The Chaldeans are well known in Biblical times, Abraham, for example, was a Chaldean from the city of Ur (Gen. 11:31). The Chaldeans are Catholic Christians, having converted to Christianity during the first century when St. Thomas the Apostle, and two of his disciples named Sts. Addai and Mari, converted our Mesopotamia, the older name for Iraq, and which we refer to in Aramaic as
