There are mentions of the ten tribes in the NT. Look at the articles I posted.

"Now tell us, just WHAT IS your agenda?""

British Israelism is a cultic doctrine tied in with neo-Nazism, Armstrongism, hate-for_Israelism and ignorant-white-boy-supremacism.

On top of that, I hate hate hate "Replacement Theology" which says that the church has replaced Israel. It is a cultic spawn from the pit of hell.

I do hope I've made myself clear.

I am not the one you originally asked the question "What is your agenda?", but I think that you may believe that anyone who believes that there are lost tribes believes in British Israelism. I do not believe in British Israelism but I do believe as the Bible clearly states that the Israelites from the Northern Kingdom were dispersed throughout all of the world. All the world includes the British Isles and by extension the USA etc.

British Israelism takes facts in the Bible and twists them to service their national and/or racist pride. All of the organizations you listed above also have the common denominator that they all would say that they are founded on Christianity, which obviously they are not. This does not mean that because they twist what being a Christian means that we thereby must give up being Christians because Christianity must be evil. The same thing can be said about some of the doctrines that they use that are correct but they drastically twist to fit in with their own schemes.

I hate the theology of Israel Replacement. I love the Jews and believe that they are God's chosen people. The Church has not replaced the Jews, but rather at the end of time Christ will convert the remnant of the Jews who are left after many of them as well as much of the whole world's population is destroyed during the tribulation period, also known as the time of Jacobs troubles. The Israelites will have preeminence in the world as citizens of Israel. All the promises made to Abraham and the fathers about their descendants being given the land of Israel will be fulfilled.

Most of the people of the "lost tribes" have dissipated into the world's population falling essentially into the category of gentile, most all of them not even knowing that they are actually descendants of Abraham. At the same time, for various reasons, a relatively few of the people from the ten tribes did remained in Judah, the Southern Kingdom, with the Jews.

The Southern Kingdom, known as the House of David, consists largely of the tribes of Judah, Benjamin and their Levites. The Northern Kingdom, known as the House of Israel, consisted, before it was carried off by Assyria almost a hundred and forty years before Judah was carried away by Babylon, of the other tribes and their Levites. All that being said, I do believe that most of the members of the "ten lost tribes" are still out there dispersed throughout the whole world and have lost their identities as Israelites, but still are descendants of Abraham.

At the end of time The Father, who knows all things, who knows who are the true Israelites, will gather them from the four corners of the earth and many will become aware of the fact that they are actually Israelites for the first time. The Jews, who The LORD allowed to keep the knowledge of their true identity as His chosen people, are now also being gathered to Israel.

Some of the same tenants that those who believe in British Israelism believe are true and are in The Bible, but they have taken them into their false belief system to try to satisfy their need to feel better than others. Jews are the chosen people of God. Understanding that ten of the tribes largely have been temporarily lost and will be regathered at the end of time doesn't mean that The Church has replaced Israel. Nor does it mean that the British, i.e. white race, has preeminence's over all others and that the Jews are inferior. It does means that you or/and I could be a daughter or son of Abraham and not realize it. Knowing this should cause a greater love of Jews, not a hatred and also help us to understand that The LORD is keeping His promise to Abraham and the fathers concerning their seed and the land of Israel.

Realize that Satan is best at taking truth and turning it into a lie. He usually starts out with truth but simply ends up twisting it until it fits his evil schemes. This way he gets lies out and also discredits truth.
