So the 10 tribes weren't lost. Judah consisted of members of all 12 tribes.

Also James in the NT opens his epistle with a greeting to the 12 tribes of Israel. So even in the time right after Jesus, the 12 tribes were identified.

There is nonsuch thing as Lost Tribes of Israel.

I think we are not on the same page here.

Even though the tribes may have lived in the same area they still maintained what tribe they were of. If you talk to a Jew today they will mostly likely tell what tribe they are from.

I know I had a doctor who told me he was from the tribe of Benjamin. So they don't all go by the tribe of Judah, although you are correct in saying that is how they got the term "Jew".

I don't know that I agree with the white-supremacist comment. If I remember correctly Hitler killed 6 million Jews and the pictures I saw were of white people.

Really, the black and white pictures were of white folk?

IF they were not white then why did they have to wear a band on their sleeves to indicate they were Jews and not Germans?

They would have a dvd and/or cd of the lecture. He has traced Russia, he mentions it a lot, and I'm sure a lecture on the subject is among his media list. I'd just call them maybe, have them send you a printed list-I don't remember it linked to the site, now that you mention it.

Arnold Murray has recently pointed out a migration over the Caucasus; he is quite knowledgeable on this subject, but you better have the pause button ready if you're trying to follow, lol. I have a media list of his, will post the relevant disc tomorrow.

Seriously Houston, you can't look at a black and white picture and tell the white people from black people?

Jews are not black.
