Does Jesus consider the Non-Jews to be a lower class equated to Dogs ?

Answer 1

No. His primary mission was to call the Jews to repentance. Israelites did consider non-Jews as dogs.

Answer 2

Jesus came to FULFILL the law, which includes the prophesies given to the Jewish people through the Prophets. One of these prophesies is Jeremiah 31:31, which states the New Covenant will initially be given to the JEWS, not to the Gentiles.

During His earthly ministry, Jesus explained several times that He'd been sent "to the lost sheep of Israel." This was in order to fulfill Jeremiah 31:31.

When Jesus called the Gentile woman a "little dog," He was speaking metaphorically of the fact that, as a Gentile, she was asking for a piece of the Bread of Life that had been sent to the Jews (the "children.") But because of her humility and belief, Jesus granted her request that her daughter be healed.

Answer 3

To the Jew in Jesus' day, all men were in one of two classes. They were either the Covenant People of God (the Jews); or they were numbered with all the rest of mankind, which were referred to by the derogatory term of dogs.
It should be noted that a Gentile (non-Jew) could convert to Judaism.
Through the Gospel, all Gentiles are invited to become "fellow citizens with the saints, and members of the household of God"
(see Ephesians 2:11-22)

Answer 4

No. He actually spent most of ministry among the Gentiles. But, in first century Judaism, the Mosaic Law was considered a special 'contract' with God. Judaism was a higher calling, but not the exclusive calling. Jesus apparently felt no need to encourage devout Judaism among non-Jews. His 'dog' comments were sarcastic - meant to prove a point about the popular opinion regarding Gentiles.

Answer 5

No. But in Jesus' day some not all Jews did. There is even a story in the Bible about a non-Jewish woman who calls herself a dog thinking that is what Jesus thought of her but in reality he blesses her to show that is not where he stood. He was more impressed with her faith and persistance than that of some Jews who thought they were 'in' with him.

Answer 6

There were two opposing groups in the Book of mormon. One group was cursed with a dark skin and the other was white and had prophets. the white group were killed of in battle because of disobedience and the dark group were promised their land back. Most native groups expect a return of their White God. Each group in their time. Egypt, assyria and Israel are to be united in the future (Isaiah 19:23-25)

Answer 7

In his encounter with the gentile woman who asked for his help, Jesus was dealing with people (the woman herself and his other listeners) who all presumed that the Jews were the favored people of God, and others were of lesser status. This view was fostered by the concern for keeping pure by limiting one's contact with gentiles, that stemmed from the ancient laws of Israel. However, the result of the story is not only that Jesus graciously gave this woman what she asked for, but also praised her for persistence in asking for what was thought to be reserved for only the Jewish people. Subsequent to this encounter, Jesus went out to teach in non-Jewish areas as well. So what do you think?

Answer 8

no....he may favor the Jew's but he doesn't feel that the gentiles are in any kind of lower class. he loves us all the same.

Answer 9

No, his writers do. I see you've been reading the bible again. Better be careful, that stuff will rot your brain.

Matthew 15:22-26:

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 answered, "I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel." The woman came and knelt before him. "Lord, help me!" she said. He replied, "It is not right to take the children's bread and toss it to their dogs."

For those of you who say Jesus would not do such a thing.

Answer 10

No that was the Pharisees.

Although, tradition at the time dictated that he was himself when ever coming in contact with gentiles. So maybe he did, but we haven't been given that information, because the Roman scribes and leaders who canonized the bible neglected to include anti-gentile statements.
