Or is this just something Jesus himself did, refering to non-Christians as swine and as dogs.
Why would God do that, dehumanize his non-followers. Why do the followers of Jesus do this.

The man and holy witch Jesus Christ referred to nonbeleivers (the wealthy who turned alters and temples into fine palaces with the tributes meant for god as well as those who would defile these same places with hoaring and gambling) as swine, animals. True beleivers of the faith knew better. To be perfectly understood. An atheist is an animal as is anyone who beleives God owes them something. Anyone with faith from christians to muslim to pagans they all have faith in a higher power whatever they may call it. If those people were called animals Jesus Christ would weep. If the pope were called an animal, The pope in his castle with his fine robes and riches, Christ would not weep.

Actually, to the above answer. It was proved the Jesus was actually a real person. And, Jesus spoke in parables most of the time so that people could understand the message. They were not educated as we are today. And I do think that Christians who dehumanize like that are making Jesus disappointed. He came to love, not insult.

The bible has many verses about this phenomenon. you're not any further soul a lot less my buddy. you're significantly better effective than a bottle of ketchup. Jesus loves you and spilled His effective blood on the opt for my sins and your sins. He took the beatings and the humiliation so as that one and anybody may have the danger to stay ceaselessly in heaven with Him, IF we settle for Him and stick with Him. and prefer it or no longer, trust it or no longer - i comprehend from years of bible study and looking out that Jesus is the way. the merely thanks to eternal existence in heaven with God. it truly is the area that journeys human beings up, reason with a view to have that salvation, someone desires to admit that they choose a savior. Matthew 7:7 Says ask and that is going to likely receive to you, seek for and also you shall locate knock and that is going to likely be opened to you." 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord isn't sluggish about His promise as some count number slowness yet is affected man or woman in course of you no longer wishing for any to perish yet for all to go back to repentance. *"the completed note study Dictionary" - Zodhiates

The same reason you do. We all fall short from the glory of God.
Luckily we do not get what we deserve,we get much better. We want to be with Him and we accept Him as our Lord and Savior.

He probably does weep, that's why I don't judge anybody. Only God can do that.
