Is it justifiable that Jesus calling our Canaanite woman a dog? #cananitewomanmatters

 First of all who is she?

The “Canaanite/Syrophoenician” woman was

• From Phoenicia (Roman Syria)

• Likely Greek-speaking

• Religiously pagan

• Not part of Jewish covenant community

Region: Tyre & Sidon

She was likely:

✔ A Gentile pagan
✔ Worshipping a Greco-Phoenician deity
✔ Part of a polytheistic religious culture

Not a practitioner of the ancient Bronze Age Baal religion in pure form.

percentage of Jews living in that area: less than 10%

Factor	Galilee	Tyre–Sidon
Religious Majority	Jewish	Pagan (Greco-Phoenician)
Jewish Population	~85–95%	Likely <10%
Language	Aramaic (primary), some Greek	Greek dominant
Cultural Identity	Covenant-centered	Hellenistic civic culture
Temple Presence	Synagogues	Pagan temples

Now you understand where this is happening?

It is happening in a place where Jews are a minority, and Jesus is standing in a place where there were pagans. Different cultural political landscape.

None of the disciples like this woman, because they are Jews. Typical. I don't complain. Jesus was not opening his mouth initially. He understood the tension. This woman must have been a nuisance. Mainly because of the reason the other people in that place are observing what the Jew is doing and are agitated by it. Some sort of political tension must be there. And Jesus said what he said.

To the modern egalitarian standard or whatever the fucking standard it is. I don't agree with it. There is no point in doing a circus dance with his disciples at that time and calling her a "dog." Bad reputation, bro. Bad reputation.

Now the whitewashers of Christianity are like, "He doesn't mean a full-grown dog; he means a puppy or something." No, that is not the case. The Jews were calling gentiles dogs at that time.

Whatever the case is, I don't agree with calling her a "dog." That is disrespectful, man.

Imagine what a man would do.

Imagine I am going to Jesus, and he tells me, "First to the Jew, then for the Indian."

Imagine an Indian yogi saying, "I don't heal white people; I only heal Indians." 

That is not right, Sir; that is not correct.

Highly unacceptable.
