The "lost sheep" Jesus was talking about were the Jews around the land of the former kingdom of Israel.
Anyone who ‘cleaves to the LORD and holds fast to His Covenant becomes a ‘naturalised Israelite’. As the Son said, he ‘was sent only to the lost sheep of the House of Israel’.
Only because there is only one God (there are no other, optional gods to choose from), not because the Old Testament is factually accurate.
The LORD God of the Old Testament and God the Father of the New Testament are one and the same
OK, then, what was that all about in the parable of Jesus of the man who comes to the wedding feast without the proper attire and getting thrown out?
God knows all about you, so you can’t hide facts or ‘dress yourself up’ for the occasion.

So how do I talk to God then? Is there like a phone number or an email address?
Will he talk back? One way conversations are pretty lame really.

assuming that you are Christian, by your post, what makes your religion right and others wrong? This is a serious question considering I'm atheist. Not trying to be a troll or anything, but, why is YOUR religion right and to be followed?

The title is misleading, I was hoping you were on to something. . To the person who posted the john Lennon Imagine video, I always thought he was a big hypocrite. Imagine no possessions ? Lennon had billions in possessions when he died. Thanks for clearing up Jesus's name, I think everyone has a different name for Jesus's original name, Im just glad I can go to sleep tonight and not worry that YWHY has my back. I just don't understand why, and mainly christians , cannot contain their beliefs. Forcing things on other people is bad enough but its the constant assuming that everyone believes is what irritates me in conversation. I realize that christians think that just because the business is good and more christian franchise churches pop us every day , that their religion is the only religion because they built more franchise churches than any of the other religions. Religion is an epidemic that feeds on hate.

They were "lost" because they did not have a proper shepherd.Only because there is only one God (there are no other, optional gods to choose from), not because the Old Testament is factually accurate.

The "Lost sheep of Israel" that Jesus said he was sent to in the Gospel of Matthew, comes from Jeremiah 50:6
