Ah... ah.... bull.... larkey!

The Jewish historian Josephus (100 A.D.) said the title of 'Jew' began with the SMALL remnant of the 3 tribe "house of Judah" that returned to Jerusalem to rebuild the city and walls. The MAJORITY of Israelites, the ten northern tribes of Israel, had already been scattered out of the holy land about 120 years prior... to the 3 tribe "house of Judah" going captive to Babylon.

Thus, YOUR BRAGGING like you know what you're talking about has backfired on you. Because you obviously reveal YOUR LACK OF OLD TESTAMENT BIBLE STUDY.

1 Kings 11 begins the subject of God having split old Israel into TWO separate kingdoms in Solomon's day.

"kingdom of Judah" = JEWS; 3 tribes ONLY - Judah, Benjamin, and eventually Levi.

"kingdom of Israel" = NON-JEWS; 10 tribes of Israel, the MAJORITY of Israelites - Ephraim, Manasseh, Gad, Dan, Naphtali, Zebulun, Simeon, Reuben, Issachar, Asher.


And oh how today's JEWS love... to claim that they ONLY represent the chosen seed of Israel, when actually they are one of most MIXED group of peoples on the planet, having mixed with the Canaanite foreigners of Bible history!

The MAJORITY of Israelites of the 'seed' today are hidden by God, when He scattered them among the Gentiles, and removed knowledge of His feasts, new moons, and sabbaths. They became as Gentiles, living among Gentiles. The Jews only... remained in the holy land and kept their heritage as a 'part' of old Israel.
From Moses on up, Gods chosen religion were Israelites, called Jewish. Yes prostelytes were allowed into Gods chosen religion in the OT.

God... called Jesus GOD
To not consider Jesus Christ to be God means you cannot be saved... meaning you have no offering for your sin

John 1:1
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

Hebrews 1:8

But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.


Here's on you apparently have never seen....

2 Corinthians 5:19
To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
God didnt call Jesus capitol G God ever. mistranslating did.

Wrong, the title of 'Jew', like the JEWISH historian Josephus (100 A.D.) said in his Antiquities of The Jews, came from the sole tribe of JUDAH, and was used ONLY by those of the southern "kingdom of Judah" at Jerusalem-Judea. Those were made up of only 3 tribes of old Israel, the tribes of Judah, Benjamin, and Levi.

The majority... of the tribes of old Israel made up the Northern "kingdom of Israel" which God chose Jeroboam of the tribe of Ephraim as king over, and they did not call themselves by the title of Jew.

No matter what they are called-they were apostocised and cut off of being Gods chosen. To this day remain apostocised.
The KJV Bible uses the word "Jew" in translation with the Book of Esther (a post-Babylon-captivity Book), when the actual word in the Hebrew text is 'Yehuwdah' which means Judah, the tribe of Judah (OT:3063).

Per the Jewish historian Josephus (100 A.D.) in his Antiquities of The Jews, that title of 'Jew' is what those of the 70 years Babylon captivity by Nebuchadnezzar called theirselves, to include the foreigners that lived among them in Judea.

Because the majority of Christian seminaries don't teach Old Testament Bible history, learning it is up to the pastor to do and teach their congregations. You won't find that many Churches today that bother with Old Testament history. So it's up to each Christian to learn it for themselves in their own Bible study.

The majority of the tribes of Israel (ten tribes) were scattered first out of the holy land, never to return. They became LOST, and thus the phrase 'ten lost tribes of Israel'. The Jews of the southern kingdom were also later taken captive to Babylon, and only a small remnant of them returned to Judea-Jerusalem, along with strangers that went captive with them. Only those Jews from Babylon were left in the holy land, and the strangers living among them also took that title of 'Jew' (as per Josephus). The majority of the Jews that went captive to Babylon stayed, because God had taken care of them there. But then those too would be scattered through the countries like the ten lost tribes were.

The difference is that the Jews of the 3-tribe "house of Judah" would keep their 'heritage' as part of old Israel. And that wherever they went. Thus today in the holy land, Jews ONLY of the 3-tribe "house of Judah" along with foreigners that became Jews throughout history, are those that makeup the nation of Israel in the holy land to this day. The MAJORITY of the Israelites of the ten tribes are still scattered and lost today, but not to God, because He promised in final to gather them, and put them back with the "house of Judah", and make them one nation again (Ezekiel 37).

But because so many preachers today don't study their Old Testament history, or don't bother to mention it to their congregations, the majority of Christian brethren are totally ignorant of those historical events which are recorded in God's Word. So they make the mistake of calling only... the 3-tribe "house of Judah" as the only Israelites that exist today, which of course is false, otherwise God's promise below would make God a liar...

Amos 9:8-9
8 Behold, the eyes of the Lord GOD are upon the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from off the face of the earth; saving that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob, saith the LORD.

9
For, lo, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all nations, like as corn is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least grain fall upon the earth.
KJV

That "house of Israel" after God split old Israel into two kingdoms per 1 Kings 11, applies ONLY to the northern ten tribes of Israel, and not about the Jews.

Under God there is one religion from the OT that had God, today it is called Jewish--but today they do not have God.

Spiritual Israel( religion) is now Gods chosen, not literal Israel( religion)
