Those of the ten tribes that were taken away into ***yrian captivity invented temples and priesthood just like Joseph Smith did in his perversion of the scripture.. Jesus made that clear to the woman at the well telling her that the Samaritans were not the people whereby salvation comes.
John 4:22
You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews.
Jesus made it clear that they were NOT correct in saying they had rights to anything of God.. The Kings of Israel, ALL of THEM were idols worshipers. They appointed their own priests, built their own temples to these false God. And you call that a feud over priesthood and worship? Nope that is like saying that Egypt and Judah were feuding over those matters.. It's not correct.. It is a man made invention.. Maybe a Julie made invention.. I believe that is more probable. IHS jim
