The Neverending Story
An ongoing debate on Scripture, Tradition, History and Interpretation.
| Statesmen may plan and speculate for liberty, but it is religion and morality alone which can establish the principles upon which freedom can securely stand. The only foundation of a free constitution is pure virtue. - John Adams |

However, neither Mary or Jesus would be on cards listing enemies. I presume you are proposing a deck of heroes.
I only suggest that Hearts is the proper suit for Jesus and Mary. I note the heart appearing quite frequently in RCC artwork.

What baggage? That Peter possible didn't make it to rome? Ya, that would be some pretty big baggage to swallow.
I think the baggage is the denial by ventana that Jesus commissioned the Apostles to minister to the "lost tribes" no matter that the "lost sheep" are synonomous with "lost tribe".

LOL. No, the phrase crops up in all sorts of weird psuedo scriptural fringe Christian groups (you know, Sabbath keeper types and the like :-)) Garner Ted Armstrong's father claimed the English were one of the Lost Tribes, others have given the title to Japanese, Icelandians (sp?) The Ute Indians in Utah and others.
Sadly, my sense is that the whole "Lost Tribes" concept is almost purely a cultish corruption of scripture that has crept back into mainstream Christianity because people just didn't know any better. That it crept back into Churches that "knew their Scripture" (NCs) rather than into the folks who "didn't" (Catholics) is pure poetic justice in my view.
If the phrase occured a single time in scripture, I would feel much different.

Mat 10:5 These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into [any] city of the Samaritans enter ye not: But go rather to the
lost sheep of the house of Israel. Mat 15:24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
I need to hear you say it Reggie, I need to hear you say that Jesus came not but unto the "Lost Tribes" of Israel.
This is not Semantics. You and Havoc have equated the "Lost Tribes" with the 10 tribes also identifiable as the "House of Israel" as opposed to the universal use of the term. To focus Jesus' ministry on them only is to deny his ministry to the "House of Judah" meaning most all the Jews then living in the area.
So go ahead, say it.
Or stop wasting my time

I thought the original discussion was over whether or not Peter was sent to the lost tribes of Israel, not Jesus?
When did the subject change?

"I note the heart appearing quite frequently in RCC artwork." You mean it doesn't rate high in Protestant artwork? How...unbiblical. -)

***You mean it doesn't rate high in Protestant artwork?***
I'm no authority on Protestant artwork (or Catholic for that matter). It is the portrait of Jesus in the four Gospels and on the pages of the Bible that has held my interest.
