I will reiterate endlessly that "Lost Tribes" does not appear in the Bible, not because I am unaware of the 10 tribes, but because of the baggage that phrase carries as well as its irrelevance to this discussion.

You know what spin is don't you?

Whether you reject the "lost tribes" or not, the "lost sheep" belonged to them.

When you begin to play a semantics game you should make it clear it is semantics only.

I feel as if I had wasted much time because I took you seriously.

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
