Why did Jesus initially say that all non-Jews (Gentiles) were the "Jews' dogs"?

Question

"A Canaanite woman from that vicinity came to him, crying out, 'Lord, Son of David, have mercy on me! My daughter is suffering terribly from demon-possession. Jesus did not answer a word. So his disciples came to him and urged him, 'Send her away, for she keeps crying out after us.' He [Jesus] answered, 'I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel.' The woman came and knelt before him. 'Lord, help me!' she said. He [Jesus] replied 'It is not right to take the children's [Jews] bread [blessings and miracles reserved for them] and toss it to their dogs [the Gentiles].' 'Yes, Lord' she said, 'but even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters' table.' Then Jesus answered, 'Woman, you have great faith! Your request is granted.' And her daughter was healed from that very hour. (From the NIV Bible, Matthew 15:22-28)"
It's funny how Jesus supposedly in the book of man-made alterations and corruption, the New Testament, instantaneously ABROGATED his views and decision about the non-Jewish woman and people in general being equivalent to dogs when compared to the Jews. It is important to note that the woman, in this corrupted book, from the very start showed that she is a "believer" (what ever that meant back then). So it wasn't a matter of a "disbeliever" or pagan seeking Jesus' help.
The woman's wisdom defeated Jesus, the so-called "Creator of the Universe"! Jesus, within a second, changed his ra ci st and tra sh-m ou thed views against her from being a "dog" to a human being who deserves to be helped.
don't forget that the woman initially showed that she was a believer! Jesus rejected her only because she was a Gentile!

Answer 1

He gave her the answer the disciples wanted Him to give, in order to prove something to them. Mainly that salvation would not be to the Jews only, and what faith in action really looked like.

He knew their hearts, but He also knew hers. He knew that no slight or insult would keep her from her mission. She had a child to save and she believed He could save her.

Her faith was found stronger than any in Jerusalem, and the disciples learned a lesson of faith and righteous judgment. (How embarrassed were they when they realized they had shunned someone whose faith was in some respects greater than their own?)

I believe there are some parallels between this woman and Jesus. Mostly in that the woman had a sick child she was willing to suffer slight and injury for. Jesus also came to save the sick (spiritually) and was willing to suffer slight and injury in order to save us. He didn't put upon this woman anywhere near what He took upon Himself to save us. I believe - despite the initial rebuke for the disciples' benefit - that Jesus had great compassion for her. He understood her mission and her single-mindedness in getting it accomplished.

Answer 2

He tested her faith.

What you do not understand, is that the Jews were the only ones worshipping God. They are his chosen people and he made a covenant with them. They are the only ones at that time that did God's will. The Gentiles were not, they were mostly pagans and maybe like you aetheists. However, the woman was full of grace and humility and this is why she received healing because she accepted Christ even though he was a Jew. He did not come for the Jews only, he came for the Gentiles, because through Jesus salvation came to the Gentiles.

Read more of the bible and do not cut and paste from previously written sections from the internet and then rant about what you are obviously ignorant about.

I pray that God will bless you and keep you, he still loves you, even though you do not know him. I will pray that you will get to know him before it is too late.

Answer 3

The Jews were God's chosen people, but they rejected him and then he opened himself up to the non Jews as well. It is said that every man (including Gentile) will have the chance to accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior. This leads to the idea that the people who have already died (before Jesus) will get a chance like the people that had the chance in their regular lives. This may be similar to tribes and civilizations around the world that have not heard His teachings.

Answer 4

You are very far from the context of the subject. I suggest you read "The Urantia Book" if you want to find, keep and use your faith if you are a true Christian. Albeit, the New Testament will always be attacked, the "Urantia Book" explains what Jesus actually did or didn't do in regards to all questions left unanswered in the New Testament.

Answer 5

As for the word, "oh my god," I trust Cognostic (This Commandment surprisingly refers to taking an oath to tell the reality in what replaced into as quickly as a courtroom of regulation. to apply the Lord's call in ineffective is to swear to tell the reality and then lie. It has no longer something what so ever to do with stupid on a regular basis expressions that ensue to contain the be conscious God.), Divorah, and Aravah. those solutions all characterize the Jewish view of employing God's call in ineffective. As for employing the call, Jesus, I at times say "jesus christ!" whilst unpleasantly stunned.... yet then, that has no longer something to do with employing God's call in ineffective via fact Jews do no longer view Jesus as a god. .

Answer 6

I actually have an answer for you and it isn't a smart mouthed one either.
It's not a Bible verse quote either.
But since you have obviously decided that the Bible is foolishness and that Jesus Christ was nothing, I will leave you to your delusional rantings.
May God have Mercy on you.
