More evidence for the theory that the lost tribes carried off by the Assyrians went North.

Many pastors now teach that there is no need to look for "lost tribes" - the jews encompass the entire surviving remnant of all twelve tribes due to small numbers from the northern tribes moving south into Judah over time.
Yes, they essentially believe the northern ten tribes were taken away and then totally poofed out of existence as identifiable peoples without leaving any traces (just like the ashes from the holobunga).
I wonder what pilpul they'd spin if you countered with the fact that Abraham was promised many nations and not just one or two? Or why White pagans were so quick to convert, while brown pagans only ever converted in small numbers? Almost as if our ancestors were the lost sheep Christ spoke of.

Oh ho, do you not know that the innumerable descendants promised to Abraham were not literal blood descendants but ["spiritual seed"](https://www.gotquestions.org/seed-of-Abraham.html)? God promised Abraham's seed would become many nations - but pastors instead preach that many nations became Abraham's seed.
They also seem to selectively forget that the promise was passed very explicitly to Isaac and then Jacob, with Ishmael and Esau being rejected. If descent from Abraham alone was sufficient, the arabs and Edomites would also be God's Chosen People™ alongside the jews.
It is hard to argue against this because everything is reframed as "spiritual". When one of the New Testament writers accidentally does a racism, this is overlooked or downplayed as only being for that time or not a full understanding or whatever - see Paul writing about his empathy for his literal blood kinsmen instead of caring about all of the Judaean masses in general.
The unparallelled eagerness of the White race to accept Christ is not easily explained. Our people converted so wholeheartedly we called our lands Christendom, and we never looked back to the other gods as we had in the past. The pagans and wiccans of today are more LARP than genuine faith in real beings.
You don't see a wave of fervent non-white evangelists sweeping across the brown lands to bring the good news to all their brethren near and far. The non-whites need a constantly replenished supply of missionaries to keep the teaching consistent and stop them going back to false gods or making some weird polytheistic amalgamation.
Ah, so they hyperfocus on that one bit about God being able to graft on new branches, while ignoring the rest of that part where He can also prune off unfruitfull branches.
