#1. Dennis McGinlay as a Lad in Tartan
Yair- Your post regarding the Tartan and your determination to continue
exploring and reporting on it are well taken. I think Dennis McGinlys comments
illustrate the point. Every person has two major aspects of their lives that
they are constantly aware of, what they look like and how they dress on a daily
basis.Ones interest is caught and held by this universal human aspect of life.
You may reach a nation by war and or economic conquest but you reach the man on
an individual basis.
Who am I ? Where did I come from? Why do I dress the way I do? These capture
the interest and imagination on a deep psychological and emotional level. I
remember reading Herbert W. Armstrongs book on the United States and Britain in
prophecy with the most intense interest and the result was to take a much wider
view of world events and history.
Dennis makes my point well.
Why else would he include the comment on what he wore as a boy ?
Cheers Owen

2. James W.: Ten Tribes Lost Awareness
Your online information fascinates me. I have always maintained that the
"10 Lost Tribes of Israel" did not get lost. They mostly lost their awareness of
being God's Chosen People.
At a young age, 6th grade history class, I became curious when I learned about
the expulsion of Jews from Russia in 1872. My great-grandfather came from
there...in 1872?

#2. Answers to Historical Criticism of Brit-Am: Cimmerians and Scythians
I thought that Gomer was father of all Celts. Wasnt he given the
area now called Normandy and wasnt it his line that settled the Celtic
nations? Ireland, Scotland, England? And because of this woudnt it be possible
for the Tartan to have followed with him?

Brit-Am Reply:
Gomer in the Bible is a son of Japhet son of Noah (Genesis 10). Gomer had three
sons, Ashkenaz, Togarmah, Riphah.
Traditionally Gomer gave rise to the Celtic Peoples and part of the Germanic
nations.
Ashkenaz to the Germans and part of the Scythians.
Togarmah to part of the Germans and Turkish peoples.
Riphah to part of the Celtic and Slavic nations.
Hosea chapters one and two speaks of the Lost Ten Tribes forming a union with
Gomer.
See what we have written there:

4. David
Bedwell:
Lost Ten Tribes = Gentile?
Shalom, Yair:
Do the writings of the rabbis, either in the Midrash, or the Mishna/Gemara
ever call/label/refer to the Lost Ten Tribes as "Gentiles?" If so, will you
provide sources for this? I know the halacha is that Jews cannot marry
Ephraimites (in the larger sense), but I haven't seen the mitzvot on that.
I'm assuming it has something to do with my primary question.
Todah,
David

Brit-Am Reply:
In the Talmud (Yebamot 17 a/b) it says that the Lost Ten Tribes
should be related to legally as Gentiles for all intents and purposes.
References to other sources discussing this matter are to be found in the
commentaries attached to this source.
The same ruling may be extended (under certain circumstances) to encompass
anyone of Jewish descent whose ancestors changed their religion more than two or
three generations ago.
In other words the ruling is based on religious considerations only and may
apply to Jews from Judah as much as anyone else.
This does not mean they are Gentiles only that as far as their religious
obligations and liabilities are concerned they have the same status as Gentiles.
This ruling is in line with statements in the Prophets.
The Ten Tribes of Israel were to be considered for a while "Not My People"
[Hosea 1:9].
The northern tribes were exiled because of their sins (Jeremiah
3:6-7 cf. 2-Kings chapters 17 and 18).
The exiled tribes were divorced by God (Jeremiah 3:8).
In the past we said that Israelites from the Ten Tribes are not
obligated at present to Keep the Law.
Strictly speaking this is correct BUT
New considerations have however shown us that they (or they who feel so called
at least) should endeavor to keep the Commandments.
It may be that an easier pathway in accordance with Rabbinical understanding but
without the additional safeguards that apply to Jews
should be made available.
We are preparing an article on this subject.
