The Syrian Orthodox church is an ancient church native to Syria with the Syrian Orthodox people being largely Syrian, however there are a few Iraqis who are a part of that church.

There are other types of Christians in Syria such as Catholics, protestants, and Greek orthodox churches, but there is no one Syrian church.

The term "Syrian Church" can refer to various churches with Syrian roots, including the Syrian Orthodox Church. The Syrian Orthodox Church is a specific Christian denomination that follows the West Syrian liturgical tradition and is a member of the Oriental Orthodox family of churches. While the Syrian Church may encompass a broader category, the Syrian Orthodox Church is a distinct denomination within that group.

How many books did Matthew write?

-----------------------The disciple Matthew did not write any books.The book now known as Matthew's Gospel was originally anonymous and was only attributed to the disciple whose name it now bears later in the second century, when the Church Fathers were attempting to establish who probably wrote each of the New Testament gospels. Scholars say that Matthew could not have been written by an eyewitness to the mission of Jesus, not least because it can be shown that the author copied approximately 600 verses from Mark's Gospel and copied substantial sayings material from the hypothetical 'Q' document. For convenience, the unknown author continues to be known as Matthew, but this is not the Matthew portrayed in the gospel.

What are 3 differences and similarities of Christianity in the east and west of byzantine?

There was no such thing as east and west of Byzantine. The Byzantine Empire was not divided into east and west. Its official religion was Orthodox Christianity, which is sometimes also called Eastern Orthodox to distinguish it from the Oriental Orthodox Churches. The latter is an umbrella term for a number of Churches which hare separate from the mainstream Orthodox Churches found among the Egyptians, the Syrians and the Armenians (the Coptic Church, the Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church, the Syriac Orthodox Church, and the Armenian Apostolic Church).


Is there any groups that have split from the orthodox church?

Yes, there are groups that split from the Eastern Orthodox Church. The so called "Nestorians," now known as the Church of the East, or the Assyrian Church of the East; the so-called "Monophysites," now known as the Armenian Apostolic Church, the Syrian Orthodox Church, The Malankara Church, the Ethiopian Tewahedo Church, the Coptic Church, and the Eritrean Orthodox Church; the Roman Catholic Church. All of these "splits" resulted in new organizations that have never reconciled completely with the Orthodox Churches. Also, splits more "within" the Orthodox Church that have been reconciled in some cases, and not in other cases (some small groups believe they they alone carry on the Orthodox Church, and that the current Orthodox Churches are no longer Orthodox) Old Rite or Old Believers, Old Calendarists (several different organizations), Catacomb Church in Russia (which is virtually extinct; new varieties seem to come into existence frequently). Nationalist driven splits-the Ukrainian Orthodox Church is the only large grop that insists on being on its own, while its Mother Church, the Russian Orthodox Church, does not sanction the unilateral declaration of "independence," as that is not how is has been traditionally done within the Church.
