Wow, I sure missed that direction in the Word. Rather the Word says exactly the opposite.

Since the Bible doesn't clearly say anything one way or the other about European Caucasians being the descendents of the Ten Lost Tribes, you have to look elsewhere to support that argument. That's where the concept of consensus comes in: to establish the credibility of your extra-Biblical sources.

The sources you've thus far provided are entry level Christian Identity claptrap. They are not reputable. That you are twisting in the face of that leads to the conclusion that you don't have any other sources than those favored by hate sites.

If you do, I'm more than willing to look at them. You will need something more than book titles.

You have spent so much time attempting to disprove, discredit, change the subject, rather than proving anything about where those "ten tribes" went.

No, I have no claims about the Ten Tribes one way or the other. The subject is your claim; you have failed to support it. I'm willing to look at information from reputable sources that would support your theory. As of now, you don't have any.

When you make a claim, as you did early on this thread at #6, it's your responsibility to support that claim, not come up with excuses why you haven't. I have zero responsibility to produce a counterclaim. The burden of proof is yours, as you are the claimant. That's an elementary aspect of the rules of argumentation.

[Just mythoughts]

Ezekiel 22:25 There is a conspiracy of her prophets in the midst thereof, like a roaring lion ravening the prey; they have devoured souls; they have taken the treasure and precious things; they have made her many widows in the midst thereof.

26 Her priests have violated My law, and have profaned Mine holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and profane, neither have the shewed no difference between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from My sabbaths, and I am profaned among them.

27 Her princes in the midst thereof are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, and to destroy souls, to get dishonest gain.

28 And her prophets have daubed them with untempered morter, seeing vanity, and divining lies unto them, saying, 'Thus saith the Lord GOD,' when the LORD hath not spoken.

Ezekiel 37:15 The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,

16 "Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions:

17 And join them one to another into one stick; and the shall become one in thine hand.

18 And when the children of they People shall speak unto the saying, 'Wilt thou not shew us what thou meanest by these?'

19 Say unto the, 'Thus saith the Lord GOD; 'Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his fellows, and will put them with him, even with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in Mine hand.''

Hosea 1:1 The word of the LORD that came unto Hosea, the son of Beeri, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judag, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel.

2 The beginning of the word of the LORD by Hosea. And the LORD said to Hosea, Go, take unto the a wife of whoredoms and children of whoredoms:

3 So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim; which conceived, and bar him a son.

4 And the LORD said unto him, "Call his name Jezreel;

for yet a little while, and I will avenge the blood of Jezreel upon the house of Jehu, and will cause to cease the kingdom of the house of Israel.

5 and it shall come to pass at that day, that I will break the bow of Israel in the valley of Jezreel."

6. And she conceived again, and bare a daughter. And God said unto him, "Call her name Lo-ruhamah: means not compassionated. "not beloved" in Romans 9:25 and "not having obtained mercy" in IPeter 2:10.

for I will no more have mercy upon the house of Israel; but I will utterly take them away.

7 But I will have mercy upon the house of Judah, and will save them by the LORD their God, and will not save them by bow, nor by sword, nor by battle, by horses, nor by horsemen."

8 Now when she had weaned Lo-ruhamah, she conceived, and bar a son.

9 Then said God, "Call his name Lo-ammi: for ye are not My People, and I will not be your God.

10 Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not My People,' there it shall be said unto them, "Ye are the sons of the living GOD'.

I post a bit of what was Written for those who might be interested in what this discussion is about.

The best you can come up with is what is not. So very, very, much more written to that House of Israel, but some have the agenda of stopping discussion, whatever method necessary.

People are no different today than during Hosea time, still have the same motivation to seek consensus by man and not understanding from our Heavenly Father.

Somehow you think you set a snare for me, and the best you can do is to go hunt for a "concensus" for what your agenda is. Who are you really carrying water for?

When I find the scripture that gives direction that I gain understanding from the consensus of man then I will give your claims a second thought.

Furthermore, because a group "Christian Identity" or any other hate group takes it upon themselves to make claims that cannot be proven within the Word then both fit in the same walled box.

You most certainly have made claims - "the Bible doesn't clearly say anthing one way or the other about European Caucasians ......."

My #6 post did not claim that these books were my sources that is a conclusion you so readily jumped upon.

You demand sources, I gave a list of books, and stated clearly that if there was a disagreement with what these books said with the Written Word the Word was correct.

Man and man's so called consensus, peer-review according to our Heavenly Father steals souls.
