It was the Jews who killed the Lord and Peter says it was the House of Israel (Acts.2:36), thus, those people who were from the Northern Kingdoms were called Jews.

[Acts 2:36] Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made the same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ. The next line in scripture says: verse 37 "Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?" So....these are the folks that Peter is referring to when he says "Whom ye have crucified".

Who are these folks? It's not ALL The House of Israel who crucified him. Peter is telling everyone to let ALL the Israelites know about this situation....and indeed that was their commission from The Lord: [Matthew 10:5-6] Go to the House of the Lost Sheep of Israel.

Peter is talking to: verse 5....And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven. These were the folks being addressed by Peter....they were gathered in Jerusalem for Shavuot. They were not the same folks Peter was referring to when he said ALL the House of Israel.....because they, the Jews, constituted only 1/12 of the House of Israel.

I win!

Scripture twisting at its finest.

It reminds me on the dispensationalist wranglings over kingdom of heaven vs. kingdom of God, and “trump” vs. “trumpet”, generation vs. race, Rosh is Russia, Meshech is Moscow and Tubal is Tobolsk.

Just as I thought, you are unable to read a clear English sentence.

Peter is not telling them those listening to witness to the house of Israel since those listening aren't even saved yet.

He is speaking to those of the house of Israel as the crucifiers of Christ since it is they who then ask what must they do.

36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made the same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.

37 Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?

Clearly, you lose-the house of Israel were known as Jews as well.

But your problem is clear from Scripture

2Tim. 3.

6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
