>>The nations of gentiles are the Lost Sheep of the house of Israel.<<

No, they are not.

Acts 10:34 Then Peter began to speak: “I now realize how true it is that God does not show favoritism 35 but accepts from every nation the one who fears him and does what is right.

1 John 2:2 and He Himself is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world.

Acts 2:21 And it shall come to pass that everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.’

Romans 3:29 Or is God the God of Jews only? Is He not the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also,

Trying to make the word "Gentiles" mean only the lost sheep of the house of Israel is totally counter to scripture. All Israelites were called Jews. Paul called himself a Jew.

Acts 22:3 "I am a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but brought up in this city, educated under Gamaliel, strictly according to the law of our fathers, being zealous for God just as you all are today.

But was not of the tribe of Judah.

Philippians 3:5 circumcised the eighth day, of the nation of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; as to the Law, a Pharisee;

The Hebrew roots cult gets hung up on the translation of the Hebrew goyim and the Greek éthnē into Gentile but scripture makes it clear when speaking of nations not descended from Jacob/Israel. Paul clearly is talking about non descendants of Jacob/Israel here.

Galatians 2:8 for He who effectually worked for Peter in his apostleship to the circumcised effectually worked for me also to the Gentiles (ethnos), 9 and recognizing the grace that had been given to me, James and Cephas and John, who were reputed to be pillars, gave to me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, so that we might go to the Gentiles (ethnos) and they to the circumcised.

Satan would love to keep salvation from the nations that are not descendants of Jacob/Israel. The Hebrew roots cult and men like Michael Rood work diligently to promote that lie.

Nice strawman, but that is not faintly close to what I said.

A gentile is anyone that is “unclean,” meaning living out of covenant.

Only by those that are totally unread in the scriptures.

The “Lost Sheep of the House of Israel” were never called “Jews” by Yeshua, nor by any of his apostles.

Jews are those that are of the “House of Judah,” the “southern kingdom.” The term usually implied also living under the burden of the Pharisees, but not rigidly so. That included the portions of the tribes of Levi and Benjamin that has traditionally lived in the southern kingdom, thus Paul, a Benjaminite, was of the House of Judah.

Paul was sent to the House of Israel, the dispersed, gentile northern kingdom, often called Ephraim, and the other apostles to the House of Judah for the most part, but they welcomed all that came to Yeshua.

The “People for His Name” are the core of Yeshua’s assembly, which always has included those that sojourn with them. This was stated throughout Tanakh.

You constantly demonstrate your near total lack of understanding of the ancient scriptures.
