We talked about the House of Israel in sunday school today. Not much about that topic has ever made much sense to me. Take for example the following simplified version of a dialogue found in most any Israel discussion:
Teacher: Who are the House of Israel?
Class: We are!
Teacher: Right! And what's a Gentile?
Class: Somebody who's not of the House of Israel!
Teacher: Right! And who are the Gentiles?
Class: We are!
Teacher: Right!
That discussion went about the same way in Sweden as it did in America. I'm curious how it would go in other areas of the world. In the meantime, my patriarchal blessing, indeed the very nature of patriarchal blessings tells me that I'm of Israel. The Book of Mormon tells me I'm a Gentile.
What the heck.

We talk about this a lot in my Book of Mormon class. Do I get it? No. I think its one of those mysteries no one will understand until we die. Yay!
Da heck is right...I don't get it either.
The word verification for me to post this comment is "outio." For some reason, that makes me chuckle. Perhaps it will be my new word for the week...outio!
Jar, you happen to be extremely closely related to someone who can answer this question for you in a really easy to understand way. As the sign posted in the drug store in "It's a Wonderful Life" says, "Ask Dad - He knows!"
