The points made in all the posts above are summed up in Paul's instruction to test everything. You have to learn how to spit out the bones and eat the meat - this applies to all historical material, whether secular or religious. In the case of religious material the final arbitor is The Book, which is why it is dangerous to throw out any part of The Book, because once you go down that road you have no standard by which to measure anything else, and you replace the real truth with your own baggage, influenced, in turn, by your personal views and thoughts. Essentially, you are back at the beginning of the circle except that instead of having 1st Century writers of Scripture and related materials, it is all heavily biased by good old you as you proclaim these people were too biased for their own good! Remember what I said earlier: no human being can be objective about anything, including religious views and history!
Now you can see where the present day post-modern society came from with their battle cry that 'there is no truth', well, except their claimed truth: that truth doesn't exist; their own argument defeating their attempts at logic.
When some eat at the dinner table, they give thanks for the food....
The bones are included in the meat before the bones are spit out, then of course, the bones are sometimes given to the dogs to eat......
The dogs; of course, are happy to eat the bones....
If the dogs are not careful when they eat the bones, they may choke on the bones....
Let us examine a very strange conversation between Yeshua and a Canaanite woman;
I agree with Yeshua it it not right to give children's bread to dogs; in my father's house, dogs are only given bones that the children sitting at the table do not eat.....
Matt 15:26
He replied, "It is not right to take the children's bread and toss it to their dogs."
Yet this Canaanite woman makes a arguement that dogs eat the crumbs; I never seen dogs eat bread crumbs that fall from the table; I guess I never noticed this detail that this Canaanite woman saw....
According to this Canaanite woman; dogs should NOT eat the bread for the children sitting at the dinner table, but the bread crumbs that fall from the dinner table. After the bread crumbs fall to the floor, the bread crumbs would be considered by some to be unclean....
In my father's house, the bread crumbs are normally swept up and thrown into the trash can....
I guess it would not be difficult for the dogs to swallow bread crumbs as opposed to eating and swallowing bones. The bread crumbs would be easier to digest for the dogs and would prevent allot of choking...
If the bread crumbs fell; before reaching the floor the dogs ate it; I guess the bread crumbs would be still be clean and appropriate for dogs.....
