My Brother Ryan,
I read your post late last night after we spoke.
I know some basic Hebrew...............Brit Chadasha'=New Covenant, for example.
'Chaver'= friend. Chaverim= friends.
So, know that I have a basic *transliterated Hebrew* vocabulary of maybe 25 to 35 words.......and maybe a few more, if I can read a sentence, and slowly pick out various words.
Now, on to your post.
I'm afraid that I have a VERY short answer for such a well written and long and scholarly post.
Back in 1999, I first came across the "Two House" teachings through a book by Batya Wooten, which I no longer remember the name of.
Brother, the 'Two House' teaching is very similar (in my opinion) to "British Israelism".
And it's just as much of a weave of various belief structures to get to WHO IS ISRAEL.
It's just one more fake Gentile teaching, trying to make Gentiles into Jews.
And like Herbert W. Armstrong's "British Israelism", whoever invented this teaching should (also) be thrown out of their respective Congregation.
Lots of twists and turns trying to make GENTILES into JEWS in the (so-called) "Two House" teachings.
I'm very sorry, but I DON'T buy it!
That DOESN'T mean that I don't still love you like my Brother in Messiah, which you ARE.
We can just lovingly agree to disagree.............OK?
Your Bro, Albion
