Do you take jesus at his word?
He said himself that "I was sent only to the lost sheep of the House of Israel" Matt 15:24
That means the jews and ONLY the jews( in spite of what that fraud Paul later said.).
It appears that the gentile christians are worshipping a "god" that rejects them and even considers them dogs.
Hey, check it out for yourself. Compare this verse to that bs your local pastor is spewing.

Perfect point. I have said for years, the god of the bible wanted noone but his chosen people. But it all matters for naught. Its all fiction.

Jesus said:, I agree though his Life was the beginning for the changes experience by the Old testament, Yes he was send by the Father, to guide the Jew's into a new religion (Christianity), so, once more HIM(the Lord Jesus), don't lie and HIM don't make mistakes. The same attempt done by Moses, was done by Jesus, to keep the Jew's been the elected by God to inhered the Earth. Jesus Crucifixion, and death in the Cross, was the direct cause of the Jewish conditions and desires to deny HIM, as to be the Only begotten Son of God. So, they exchange HIM, for an assassin, (Barabbas) Now this is to my knowledge, what have create the conditions that Jewish are no more the Elected by God to inhered anything of this World, although the possibilities for then to become into Christianity and especially Catholicism, is steal wide open. Theirs is the Choice.

The problem is Jesus' own words are not recorded anywhere that I know if. Everything in the bible that Jesus said was written down by somebody else long after Jesus was dead. So if you think about a conversation you had two years ago with a great friend, think about how accurately you would be able to write it down. Just a thought.

Yeshua was sent to the lost sheep of the house of Israel, but they rejected Him. That is why He told the Pharisees, the top Jewish religious leaders of the day: "The harlots and publicans, (tax collectors) go into the Kingdom ahead of you." Yeshua died for all of our sins, and not only Paul, who was a member of the Sanhedrin, the Jewish ruling body, explained about Yeshua redeeming gentiles but also Simon Peter. Peter was told "That which I have made clean call you not unclean," speaking of a righteous gentile, Cornelius. So instead of attempting to sow seeds of discord among followers of Yeshua, show His real Spirit by acts and words of love and forgiveness.

I take God at His word ... The First of the 10 Commandments and follow as best I can to the following 9. I may not be the best sheep but I'm not lost. Until God pays humanity another personal appearence on the Mountain as says to, ... I'm not following Jesus anywhere.

The meaning you claim for this passage is simply wrong.
Jesus was sent only to the Jews, but once they rejected him and killed him, he proceeded to send his apostles out to preach the Gospel to the whole world.
You need to read a little more of the new testament and get a little basic background in theology so you don't continue to arrive at such ridiculous and idiotic conclusions.

I take Jesus at his word. In this particular case, he was trying to get the women (the one his said this to) to show her faith. She did and it glorified God.
Jesus was sent to the lost sheep of Israel; He gathered them up and set them straight. Then sent them into the world. However, as in this story, God did/does have mercy on the Gentles.

It was salvation for the jews first then the gentiles.
Why dont you read:
(Matthew 28:19)
"Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:"
(Revelation 7:9)
"After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;"

Yes but you have to remember to take things in context. Jesus said that after the shepherd of the House of Israel got drunk, passed out and let all of his sheep wander off. Jesus was sent to go collect them, and some neighbouring shepherds thought that he was trying to swipe their sheep so he said that.

That's right..the Gentiles were concidered unclean, but..Jesus said that the Gentiles were graphted in..and it is also in John 3:16..For God so loved THE WORLD that He gave His only begotten Son....
To answer your question..YES..I believe every word that Jesus said. And God doesn't reject me..He loves me...

what about when Jesus says to baptize in the name of the father son and holy spirit and make disciples of ALL the nations? You're taking the verse out of context, you must apply it to what Jesus is saying before and after to get the real meaning>
