In order to understand God's Word, you must be Spirit filled. These passages go above your head; way above your understanding.

I think you are missing the point.
On top of that, you are missing the opportunity to get a more interesting view of Jesus than the conservative Christians want you to have.
If you read the story (also in Mark7:24-30), it sure does look like Jesus CHANGES HIS MIND. Now, if you hear a lot of Fundamentalists tell it, Jesus is perfect, a part of a divine Trinity. And perfect divine trinities shouldn't have to change their minds.
So this can imply one of two things. First, that Jesus isn't a part of a trinity. Instead, he's an illegitimate Jew who somehow, either through his own heart or by the grace of God, becomes touched by truth, and is transformed.
Second, that God himself is not perfect, but kind of human, capable at great moments of changing his mind, of being transformed (but not manipulated by) other forces including his own creations.
Now, you can stick with your "Is Jesus Racist" thoughts, or you can wait and convert to fundamentalism, like most skeptics do eventually. But I think you're ripping yourself off.

racist habit contained in the acceptable context of nicely natured comedy, is a staple of comedy for the merely precise 100 years. it truly is merely even as racist speech is clearly meant to be adversarial that it truly is incorrect. Richards isn't Jewish, he takes flak for his comments. If he were black what he suggested would not be precise both What makes racist comedy humorous is that it factors out the inherent sillyness of stereotypes. It does no longer condone them. If those comments are inspired with assistance from hate and not in any respect a favor to make human beings chuckle, it is the position the line is drawn.

No.
The Bible clearly illustrates that Jesus is the savior for all mankind.
The three (non-Jewish) Magi visiting the baby Jesus was one of the first signs that the mission of Christ would reach out to the entire world.
Later Jesus treated non-Jews like Romans and Samaritans with dignity and respect. In consequence, these Romans and Samaritans became some of the first Christians.
And Jesus' last words to the Apostles in the Gospel of Matthew, "Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age."
With love in Christ.

He was here for everyone.
He was here to remind the Jews their mission was to preach the Word to the Gentilies (US) According to Isiah 54.
Something the Jews weren't doing but the Christians latch onto but lack the education the Jews were doing but the Christians weren't doing.

Many of his miracles were performed for those outside Israel. And, no verse of the Bible can be correctly interpretted apart from the other verses--you can't contextualize.

First the Jew, then the Gentile. Now is that anyway to talk about someone who loved you so much to give up his life for you so God wouldn't have to slap your mouth?!

He also used a samaratian as a good example of a neighbor. I'd say you're trolling in the dark.

No he had a mandate from the Father to fulfill before anything else. Jesus was a man of integrity which you are not.
