Subtlety escapes you in your headlong rush to call Jesus a bigot and justify your own bigotry.

She was simply willing to be called a dog. She was not being proud. She wanted a miracle and didn't care about being called a dog as long as she could get the miracle.
She expressed faith and respect, which you apparently fail at.

And Jesus recognized her faith. Would he have rewarded her if she only showed him insults, as you consistently do in this forum?

The truth escapes you.

I can understand how a child of Satan would believe I lack faith.

Wrong race until the work of God was complete. If you grasped what was going on you'd
stop this race bating of yours. God was out to save the world, He created a race to bring
Jesus into the world. He does not like or dislike one race of people over another, but He
did use the Jews to bring Jesus into the world to save the whole world.

What is sinful is always sinful. If it wasn't sinful for Jesus then, it is not sinful today.

Jesus' fulfillment of the Law did not change the definition of sin.

What is really the lesson being taught here as Jesus speaks to a Gentile women.

I don't think this section Matthew 15:21-28 has that as its intended point.

Whether you like it or not, the difference here is that what Jesus did was in no way sin, while what you continue to do and attempt to justify, with what you think is a loophole, is.

That is correct, the racial slur was not a sin. This is because such comments are not inherently sinful.

Who claims anything that was sinful isn't? Again, you are seeing things not in front of you.

Do you claim that Jesus wasn't being a racist when he told the woman she was of the wrong race?
