If the so called 10 lost tribes went away, then how come YOU we can FIND all twelve of their symbols on the walls of virtually every synagogue in the world? Have you been to a synagogue, other than to light a fuse?
CAN YOU TELL ME WHICH OF THE "10" tribes those insignias represent, asshole?
Northern Kingdom was Israel. Southern Kingdom was Judea. That was later on... though your deep historical perspective seems to put it sll together ... long about the time dinosaurs and man lived together.
House Joseph sounds like a tailor Shop in Jaffa... but comprised Ephriam and Menassah and wasn't an official tribe. Not mentioned in the Bible as I recall. and nothing we discussed in history class.
Religion versus people versus nation versus race? DEPENDS ON WHO ARE ADOLF.. Only the christian church dares to define Jews like that. Oh yeah, and the Nazis.
I am a Jew. I attended religious school from pre-k through high school and raised three adult Jewish children. WHAT IS YOUR FUCKING POINT? My ancestors were kicked out of Spain and Eastern Europe by religious fucks like you. My family came to America and had their synagogues bombed by religious fucks like you. Many of those who couldn't get out of Russia then perished in the Holocaust. I guess were "True Jews" enough for the Romanoffs, Hitler and Stalin. My family is spread throughout the world.
A True Jew -- from the south -- deals with annoying Bible thumpers like you every day. You want me to teach you the Torah while you stand on one foot? Hop to hoss!
You're totally full of shit and unworthy of further discussion.
But I know you're a fucking loony who watches way too much jesus TV.
Go away.

A little bible lesson for Yssup the infidel
The distinction is made in scripture.
1st Chronicles 5, 1-2
Now the sons of Ruben the first born of Israel,
(for he was the first born) but forasmuch as he
defiled his fathers bed, his birthright was given
unto the SONS OF JOSEPH the son of Israel and
the genealogy is not to be reckoned after the birthright.
For Judah prevailed above his breathren, and of him came
the chief ruler, BUT THE BIRTHRIGHT WAS JOSEPH'S
Now go and study about the birthright promises
Yssup The Infidel, sense you know nothing about it.
Other scripture where the distinction is made
All of the book of Hosea.
Ezekiel 37, 16-22
Isiah 11
Genesis 49
Let me ask you why do you think it is now called the JEWISH RELIGION
when a real ethnic Jew has to be able to trace his ancestry back
to the tribe of Judah. Because the other tribes as a whole have been lost
to history.
The Northern Kingdom was carried away into bondage and disappeared
into history (the 10 lost tribes) leaving the Southern Kingdom (The Jews)
But the promise of scripture is that God knows who they are and will
reunite them again with Judah sometime in the future.
Go blame the old testament scriptures if you're unhappy about
the whole thing.
