You biblical reference does nothing to corecct my point of view. I have never denied that salvation was of the Jews, i.e. Jesus. The twelve tribes collectively my be called Isreal but when seperated the House containing Joseph IS ALWAYS refered to as Israel. Examine the prophets, even after the removal of the House of Israel leaving behind the House of Juda, you find the prophet talking of Israel and then in the next scentence talking of Judah and speaking of them as seperate entities. They even refer to Ephraim and Manasseh after they had disappeared into the pages of history, but they never refer to them as distinct from Israel, and yes sometimes they do refer to all the tribes as Israel but only when E & M are included. The Israel of the prophets as removed from the house of Juda is still around unless the prophets were liars and God also.

Pardon, but you make no sense. It hardly seems worth it to try to explain facts to someone who is completely averse to them. So play it in your own mind the way you think it should be, and don't let the facts interfere. M'kay?
