Still Paul was Jewish, no ifs, ands, or buts. True the tribes did split, but there is still that Jewish heritage which cannot be doubted, of Paul’s Jewish heritage.

God REVEALED the PLAN of SALVATION of the world by sending Jesus into the world, first to the House of Israel and then from there go to the further ends of the earth.

No, Jesus revealed His Plan of Salvation to the House of Judah as the House of Israel was divorced and out of Covenant since 721BC. The House of Israel was taken away by the Assyrians and scattered throughout the world. The Prodigal son parable is all about the House of Judah staying at home with the Father and the House of Israel going out into the world but returning to the Father. We Believers are the returning House of Israel RENEWING the COVENANT, coming back into the COVENANT to be restored to our Heavenly Father because of the Atonement made for our sins by Yahshua on the Cross.

I doubt that it makes any difference but Paul was a Jew in belief only, he was from the tribe of Benjamin.

The tribes of Judah were called Jews but that does not make all of them Jews.
