But Jewish Law and Tradition are not worth a bucket of warm "spit" when it comes to ascertaining historic truths. Most "tradition" is really "damnable tradition". By our traditions we make void the word of God!

We are not necessarily talking about historical truths; We are merely talking about the definition of a word. The word "gentile" is used in the Bible as a translation for goy. A goy is someone who is not a descendant of Jacob. Therefore, the lost tribes of Israel, if they could be found, would NOT be considered gentile, contrary to what you claimed.

I really think you make up a lot of things in your head.

No, but maybe you've spent too much time living near dead lakes and dead trees to think new thoughts not part of your culture. --ggg--.

I am only interested in historic truths. The 3-MINUTE HISTORY (at my Profile) is only 8 paragraphs long. Starting with the first paragraph, where do you find the first historic error?

The word "gentile" is used in the Bible as a translation for goy. A goy is someone who is not a descendant of Jacob.

Wasn't the New Testament written in Greek, as opposed to Hebrew for the Old Testament? If so, can you identify the word that was translated to "gentile" by James? I'd do it but I don't have access to a Strong's.

Is "goy" a Hebrew word, a Yiddish word, and if Yiddish, was the source Hebrew/Aramaic or some other root, like Germanic? Lots of different roots make up Yiddish.

I think the important part was to "go unto the Lost Sheep of The House of Israel", which of course must be the descendents of the House of Israel.
