Slade, Thanks for the perspective about clean/unclean. How do you think that translates to today? Are we to cast the bread of the word out to anyone/everyone? Or was that just for Jesus to discriminate? Izzy


Was Yeshua calling the woman a dog?  No. Please note she was no longer a member of the unbelieving community (even though she was non-Jewish) because her faith elevated her from the stature of a Gentile. Yeshua was speaking specifically of the unbelieving members of humanity with His less-than-enduring term. His message (i.e., bread) is not meant for them, for they will trample it underfoot -- much like pearls. Instead, the message is for the believing community of humanity.  

 

Your friend (hopefully)...
