While I do agree that Our Lord Jesus Christ is King of King and Lord of Lords and the Lion of Juda who will come swooping in on a White Horse at His Second Coming to Slay the Godless at Armageddon and all that, as per "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" but one must beware of putting too much stock in mystical metaphor. Our Lord Jesus Christ did many mysterious things. He spat into earth and made a paste for a blind man's eye- nobody ever suggested we imitate that- and wrote the sins of men in the dust of the earth before a condemned prostitute. He did call this Canaanite Woman a Dog not because he was racist nor exclusive, but in a roundabout way to commend her for having the Chutzpah to ask something of His Mercy.
One might recall that early on the Gospel of St John, He did not treat a promiscuous Samaritan Woman in the same way, but rather engaged her in a theological conversation that led to her conversion.
Meanwhile, comparing Our Lord to Hysterical Figures is fraught with danger. After Three Volumes of Don Jeffrey's Hidden History, we need to be constantly wary of the Fake and Ghey. Neither George Washington nor Robert Edgar Lee were the men of our history books. As for the Austrian Painter, he was little more than a Crisis Actor, and the British retreat from Dunkirk was all part of the plan to let Germany have France early on, to ensure a still bigger fireworks show and yet more slaughter in the years to come.
Well, OK. I see you have a very different view of history that the rest of us have been exposed to. And you're saying that he called her in a "roundabout way" to commend her? HUH? I think Nicholas did a great job of explaining his view. Which you obviously want to convolute into something that makes no sense. And isn't it HISTORICAL figures not HYSTERICAL?
I often use the word Hysterical as a pun on the word Historical. (Ever dealt with the local Hysterical Society that won't let you paint your house the colors you want, or let you park a van in the driveway?)
The point I was trying to make was that Our Lord Jesus Christ was indeed cosmopolitan in that He calls all Men and Women to salvation, while your article argues the opposite.
The article is making a point that has more merit than your one world belief system. HE said HE only came to the LOST SHEEP OF THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL. You can't take it any other way if you are honest with yourself. He doesn't say he came to the world. He doesn't say He came to the spiritual lost sheep whatever that would be. The BOOK is written to Israel starting in the book of Genesis and ends with the Israelites in the book of Revelation. You have to twist and distort verses to fit an 'every one" narrative in lieu of I ONLY CAME BUT TOTHE LOST SHEEP OF THE HOUSE OF what? who? ISRAEL.
God does indeed have a special predilection to the Seed of Abraham. Many do indeed try and "spiritualize" this predilection and claim the New Zion is the Community of All believers. That being said, how would you otherwise interpret the following verses:
"And he said to them: Go ye into the whole world, and preach the gospel to every creature [Mark 16:15] He that believeth and is baptized, shall be saved: but he that believeth not shall be condemned."
"And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the house of the Lord shall be prepared in the top of mountains, and high above the hills: and people shall flow to it. And many nations shall come in haste, and say: Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of Jacob: and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth out of Sion, and the word of the Lord out of Jerusalem." (Micah, Chapter 4)
"And in the last days the mountain of the house of the Lord shall be prepared on the top of mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills, and all nations shall flow unto it. And many people shall go, and say: Come and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of Jacob, and he will teach us his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall come forth from Sion, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem." (Isaiah, Chapter 2)
"But as many as received him, he gave them power to be made the sons of God, to them that believe in his name. Who are born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God." (John, Chapter 1)
"And other sheep I have, that are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice, and there shall be one fold and one shepherd." [John Chapter 10, verse 16]
I could multiply citations. I do think your outlook is parochial and erroneous.
So what you are saying is that He lied when He said I HAVE ONLY COME BU TTO THE LOST SHEEP OF ISRAEL? Do you realize that the word "gentiles' means nations? What else are you suggesting Nancy? I think Nicholas hit it right on the head.

You have left out that Jesus took the gift from Israel and gave it to the gentiles the dogs as you put it.
So what you are saying is that He lied when He said I HAVE ONLY COME BU TTO THE LOST SHEEP OF ISRAEL? Do you realize that the word "gentiles' means nations? What else are you suggesting Nancy? I think Nicholas hit it right on the head.
