Note: Another point I forgot to make - this women got some crumbs and we who are God's Covenant people through Christ are not even getting that these days. Anytime you've got to depend on food additives etc. you're not walking in Covenant blessings. In fact you're no better off than the world out there. judyt Chris wrote: > "Truth, Adonay, yet bitches eat of the crumbs > which fall from their masters' table." > Was that an "ad hominem" from The Saviour?

Apparently I missed this one but you've done it again. I'd throw out whatever translation you got this out of. The woman is just acknowledging the fact that she is outside the Covenant God has with Israel. Why do you want to make it something other than what it is? Jesus was not into insulting or degrading. He spoke the truth in love as he expects us to do. Fact is she was not included in the Covenant but he healed her daughter anyway because of the respect and faith with which she approached him. judyt ---------- "Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer every man."
