Pual got a kicked in his A.. and went to non Jews whom were called dogs by Jesus. Jesus only sent to Jews peoples not to British, American people whim he thought dirty dogs. Interesting.

@solynawaz Uh... ok, lol.

John 12:32 Jesus said, But when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw ALL men to myself." John 10:16 Jesus said, I have other sheep that are not of this fold, I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd." Jesus here is referring to his sheep outside of Israel.

@KevinJ1live The gospel of John was written much later than the synoptic gospels, as you should know, and its theology is more in line with Paul, so it would not be surprising if a mission to the Gentiles is in it. I'm concerned with the earliest accounts of Jesus, which show less mythologizing and agenda-driven inventions. Any such verses in Mark? Good luck...

[KevinJ1live]

The lesson to be learned in Matthew 15:23-28 is one of humbleness, the lady humbled herself before the Lord she was not proud and did not boast. It is better to possess such a humble spirit than it is to be proud and arrogant.

[TaylorX04]

@KevinJ1live So why did Jesus bring up the fact of her being a Gentile and even call her a dog? You're the one leaving out details for your own convenience, not I.

[Cowinspace]

It's not hard for those of us capable of reading to look up the passages he mentions. Having actually read the passages he brings up I see no cherry pickiing, but then my rationality and reason are not clouded by fear of a magical sky fairy.

[B4mytyme]

@itchhhh another excuse. brainwashed and blind.

[drdalet]

"Oh well, I guess having a message of universal salvation AND of equality would be too much of a miracle" LOL I love this series!!

[mehja1]

You can congratulate Christianity on knowing how to run a successfull franchise:

Available for all, adopting rites/ holidays of heathens cultures and ready to reinterpret their teachings when they threaten to loose the (paying) crowd.

@KevinJ1live If god/Jesus knows what is in your heart and mind then he had no reason to make that woman beg and degrade herself. He would have already known she was willing/would do that. He had no reason to mistreat her, only help, instead he makes her crawl in the dirt.

Contradiction and Jesus/God being an asshole in the same verses. Nice.

[TaylorX04]

@KevinJ1live Yes, read the rest of the passages in different books, penned by different authors with different agendas. Lol!

[TaylorX04]

@KevinJ1live What do you think this passage means? All I see is Jesus saying that Jews worship the true god, while Samaritans worship without having that truth. This doesn't affect my argument in the video at all.
