>> “Trying to make the word “Gentiles” mean only the lost sheep of the house of Israel is totally counter to scripture.” <<

Nice strawman, but that is not faintly close to what I said.
A gentile is anyone that is “unclean,” meaning living out of covenant.

>> “All Israelites were called Jews” <<
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.
>>Paul was sent to the House of Israel<<
Please show you support from scripture for that.
