...or the House of Israel's (represented by the only remaining tribe - Judah, at the time of Christ...)

You persist in the same error. The tribe of Judah was NEVER part of the House of Israel. It was part of the House of Judah. All 12 Tribes were ISRAELITES, but only the 10 "Lost Tribes" were designated House of Israel.

Abraham, Isaac and Jacob were not Jews, but were Hebrews. Some Jews are Hebrews, but not all Hebrews are Jews.

Where then were these "Lost Tribes" at the time of Christs arrival? Enlightenment is only a click away, at my Profile.

Geez, talk about revisionist history...Name the twelve sons of Jacob/Israel without naming Judah.

Not true. The tribe of Judah might not have been lost, but it was part of the House of Israel and was scattered. I'd love to see the contortions you'll need to master in order to disregard David's many references to the House of Israel in Samuel, let alone the many references in Exodus, Leviticus, etc. Lastly, you'll have a hard time convincing people that Jews would worship from a book that clearly shows G_d's preference for the House of Israel over the "House of Judah" (sic).

Abraham, Isaac and Jacob were not Jews, but were Hebrews. Some Jews are Hebrews, but not all Hebrews are Jews.

Agreed.

No need - you have amply demonstrated your confusion.
