Is it justifiable?
No.
Jesus is clearly standing on his ethnicity and judging the outgroup.
Is it morally acceptable?
No. It is not.
By any metric, it is not acceptable.
Most Christians are preaching Jesus is testing her.
Yes. He is testing her standing on his ethnicity, which is the ego pyramid. That is not true "self."
It is completely wrong. And that is tribal.
No matter how you are arguing.
It is.
21 Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon.
22 And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.
23 But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.
24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
25 Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.
26 But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children’s bread, and to cast it to dogs.
27 And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.
28 Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.
Mathew 15: 21-28
To understand the historical context, Jews are considering and calling racial slurs to gentiles, referring to them as dogs.
So everybody knows what he is talking about. Every single man knows what he is talking about. They are not stupid.
In a modern context, Gandhi called Dalits harijans. Now that is more justifiable. At least "harijans" means "children of God."
I mean, wtf is going on?
Is he a normal Jew?
