Are you sure about that?

Would calling Greeks/Syrophenicians "dogs" be considered racist in your book, HoMoses?

the 2nd part of the story shows what he said to her was to test her humanity and thus in her humble reply her daughter was relieved of her demon, no?

Akin to being cruel to be kind

I ain't gonna quote it word for word but suffice to say it's in Mark 7:26-30

No. He took pity on her because she begged him in a pitiful manner, openly admitting she was a "dog" beneath the Jews. He granted her request "for this saying", for admitting her second-class status.

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.

28 And she answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs.

29 And he said unto her, For this saying go thy way; the devil is gone out of thy daughter.

the written words remain the same but our interpretation differs slightly.
I have an open mind to see but not agree with you & I hope you do to.

Wrong. You're interpreting. I'm saying what the words say.

You are suggesting that Jesus was tempting this woman by calling her people "dogs". I say that Jesus, being God and thus being perfect, would not engage in manipulative, deceitful mind games.

I guess we know what you think of Jesus, don't we? You think He's a sick weirdo who messes with people's minds instead of saying what He wants them to know.

It's your forum & I shall abide by your requests of not arguing....again!

PLEASE do not start guessing about my thoughts then adding slurs against Jesus to them as if spoken by me.

REMEMBER all your thoughts and feelings about me are based on the tiny amount I have written in a short space of time.

At the top of this & every page it says "Unsaved Welcome" yet despite over two dozen posts I feel very unwelcome and unclear as to who & how anyone by definition shall dictate when one is "saved"

I find this guidance and sharing of faith very confusing to be honest.

Hmmm. The guidance is the Lord's Word. Sharing consists of you abandoning all previous faiths and accepting the unadulterated, timeless and inerrant Word of The Lord... pretty simple, considering the reward is eternal bliss.

[Ezekiel Bathfire]

2nd Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

And you realize, do you not, that you have derailed a thread. The last person to do this with as much unholy persistence as yourself was banned.

That's because your father is satan.

John 8:43 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. 8:45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.

Repent now!

For a dandy brit, you have quite the attitude. Ruffled panties in a bunch, are they?

Why can't you be more like that Charles fellow?

[BNPrep]

I do not belive in Christian Egalitarianism Sir.

Prince Charles (I assume) is heir to the positions of Supreme Governor of the Church of England.
As the Church of England bases its teachings on the Holy Scriptures, the ancient Catholic teachings of the Church Fathers I do not wish to be associated with them & I would respectfully hope you appreciate why.

Thank you.
