Where are the Lost Tribes of Israel?

Ever since the gospel message was first taken to the Gentiles, there have been those who have claimed that Gentile Christians should submit to the entire Law of Moses.  The Apostle Paul had to deal with such claims among the Galatians in his day, and the same flawed philosophy has plagued every generation of Christians from that day to this.

One of the more recent forms of this philosophy has taken the name of the Hebrew Roots movement.  One of the foundational tenet of this philosophy is the claim that everyone who becomes a Christian actually does so because he is a descendant of one of the lost ten tribes of Israel, and his salvation is a fulfillment of God's promise to reunite all of the tribes.  Thus, according to the Hebrew Roots movement, everyone who is a Christian is also an Israelite and, therefore, should submit to the Law of Moses. 

I have had the opportunity to debate several followers of the Hebrew Roots movement, and this debate is the result of one of my most interesting, and entertaining, encounters.  My opponent in this debate is Mr. Ted Weiland who maintains a very active online presence criticizing the American Constitution as a pagan law.  His writings can be found on his website: bibleversusconstitution.org.  Ted began this particular debate by challenging me to read his book The Mystery of the Gentiles and offering to pay me $100 if I could prove him wrong.  Of course, he never did send me the promised $100, but the debate itself was still worth the effort.
