(2005) In Mark (and Matthew) Jesus heals a Gentile.7:26 The woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation; and she besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter. 7:27 But Jesus said unto her, Let the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it unto the dogs. 7:28 And she answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs. 7:29 And he said unto her, For this saying go thy way; the devil is gone out of thy daughter Matthew: 15:22 And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil. 15:23 But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us. 15:24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 15:25 Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me. 15:26 But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs. 15:27 And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table. 15:28 Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour. " Now, the ATHEIST will insist that Jesus called a Gentile (who was as much a relative of God's children (Adam and Eve) as any of His children)...a DOG. The Atheists (God damn them all) say that Jesus was being a Racist and espousing a cult of superiority. But they are missing the key points! In those times it was not derogatory to call people "dogs". Dogs were more like Scouts in the U.S. expansion and extermination of many Indians. Scouts were honored because they took great risks to get information and to spread it to others. Jesus, therefore, compares this woman to a "dog" because after healing her daughter, this "dog scout" will spread the message of Jesus the LORD! The Atheists will say that Jesus only claimed to be sent for "the lost sheep of the house of Israel." So just because He said that does that make it TRUE? Jesus showed that TRUTH was evolving with every single word that HE spoke. Nuff said! Bless Jesus! The atheist is refuted once again! GregorEeekBaptist
