I've only started to get back into things, and here we have a really rough passage. I can only say that I've always been bothered by the issue you describe here. While it would be nice to know why exactly Jesus responded this way, I would "accept" what we were supposed to take away from this passage. Of course, both of these things are linked, but I'd settle more a little understanding instead of what I have right now (which is pretty much null).<br /><br />This is made more confusing to me when I think of the difference in cultures when it comes to animals and pets. In Georgia, dogs are everywhere and treated as garbage by many, while others treat their dog well and abuse other dogs. Maybe we aren't understanding some sort of cultural exchange in this interaction, but still - what are we to learn from it? <br /><br />You point to Jesus' humanity - perhaps that's part of it. But that still doesn't really seem to get to my question and deep reservations with this scripture. I don't know really where to start!Jeremyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03507874062503931824noreply@blogger.com
