Are these guys the same Herbert Armstrong cult idiots? Cause, half the stuff in here is bogus white-supremacists mixed in with antisemitism in the disguise of Christianity. Reminds me of the old stuff my grandma warned me about. Armstrong was a wack-job kool-aid drinking fraud. As is about anyone who starts with the “Lost tribes of Israel are The UK and America”. I quit reading after THAT nonsense.

Since I am not....or ever have been a member of any "Armstrong" organization I feel somewhat obligated to respond to your statement.

From what I understand Herbert Armstrong did not invent any "Lost Tribes Theory". This concept has been around for many years and I believe there is some truth to it. I also understand that some organizations have taken this idea to themselves and indeed do present a racist point of view with their outlook. I feel that if one looks at scripture with an open mind there are some legitimate questions raised about the possibilities of a lost to history, "House of Israel".

It seems that your major dispute in this area is with Armstrong and some identity groups so we should be able to have a polite conversation regarding the location of the Ten Tribes since I represent neither of these factions.

If you are game..... I would like to start out by asking you, Where do you think the Israelites are today....21st Century?

"British Israelism" has been co-opted and corrupted by white supremacists and anti-semites. But you clearly haven't read any of the information here because none of it is anti-semitic or racist. Can you present evidence of where you see such things?

For information about United Church of God, the publisher of this piece, see post 21

. Let me know if you have any questions...
