She was called this because she was not of the house of Israel. You need to reread the passage.

You’re exactly right. Gentiles are referred to as pigs and dogs in scripture.

We were Gentiles but we've been grafted in by our faith in Jesus and so was she.

No, we Europeans are descended from the northern tribes of Israel after we escaped when Assyria collapsed.

I love the way you deal with this. Yes, there are many other deeper issues at play here, but you have captured a very valuable and emotionally powerful lesson, for which I am very grateful

Interesting article Biblical man, or do we call you Jesus? This is one of your freeloaders, risking spiritual malnutrition. Obviously I need to save up my 30 peices of silver.

Perhaps we all need to humbly pray that we don't get too carried away with ourselves.
