Hello MusicMaster,
Thank you for your doctrinal report of everything is wrong you see within the confines of my trust in the Lord Jesus Christ and God.
You are not going to get much more out of me at this point because there is nothing for me to prove for have been honest and open about my belief system from the start. You have the right to question me, and even accuse me of being wrong, and I am willing to admit maybe that is right, I am wrong.
You are free to assess me up and down, and left and right. Still going to stand on what has already been said. If I never meet your standard for a Christian that will never bother me.
Honestly did not read all your questionings to me at this point for the conversation is getting played out and dull.
~ Do I think I am better than you? no. no I would never think that but however it is best for me to choose the way of the Lord and how he would desire me to go ahead and just walk on away and let you be to yourself for you are 100% responsible for yourself and your relationship with God and how you decide to treat other people.
The dog part, yes I'll answer you...
Mark 7
15 There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man.
16 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
17 And when he was entered into the house from the people, his disciples asked him concerning the parable.
18 And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man, it cannot defile him;
19 Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats?
20 And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man.
21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
22 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:
23 All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.
24 And from thence he arose, and went into the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and entered into an house, and would have no man know it: but he could not be hid.
25 For a certain woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell at his feet:
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.
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.
Right here is where He basically says something very offensive - Let the Children first be filled; for it is not meet to take the children's bread and // cast it unto the dogs.
To the Jewish people of Israel anyone who was not part of that group was basically beneath them, that did not have compassion on them. Even with this very offensive saying that Jesus Christ had said - she still looked passed what was said, and answered Him.
28 And she answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs.
What this greek woman responds back with is profound even after what Jesus Christ had just said to her / by saying that it was not right for Jesus to cast any of the bread to the dogs. /
She said yes Lord but even the 'dogs' the people that are looked down upon -- eat the scraps of what falls off the table.
29 And he said unto her, For this saying go thy way; the devil is gone out of thy daughter.
Because of what is said, to Him; He shows compassion for she showed faith and trusting in the Lord for hearing about the miracles that He had done.
30 And when she was come to her house, she found the devil gone out, and her daughter laid upon the bed.
31 And again, departing from the coasts of Tyre and Sidon, he came unto the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the coasts of Decapolis.
32 And they bring unto him one that was deaf, and had an impediment in his speech; and they beseech him to put his hand upon him.
33 And he took him aside from the multitude, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spit, and touched his tongue;
34 And looking up to heaven, he sighed, and saith unto him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened.
35 And straightway his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spake plain.
36 And he charged them that they should tell no man: but the more he charged them, so much the more a great deal they published it;
37 And were beyond measure astonished, saying, He hath done all things well: he maketh both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.
Thinking about it was very Odd for Jewish people to even associate with women outside of their own blood. Jesus Christ was always doing amazing things. There was another time with the woman at the well and the disciples come up on him in the sense of 'why you talking with this woman'
God bless you and your family, and everyone here on this forumsite.
Life is very short. The Eternal is going to be forever. You all each have a purpose.
. By the Holy Spirit/spirit of Christ given.
