Janx,
I am having technological problems posting here today. I constructed this post off line and hoped I would be able to post it here.
Jesus indeed considered the Canaanite woman of the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
In reply to the disciples wanting to send her away He said, "I was sent not but to the lost sheep of the house of Israel." He was AFFIRMING that she was an Israelite.
I marvel that you can believe and assert that Jesus would say that He was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel and then promptly disobey.
Read the narrative again CAREFULLY! She addressed Jesus as the "son of David." She was an Israelite.
This is not true Boxer.
25The woman came and knelt before him. Lord, help me! she said.
26He replied, It is not right to take the childrens bread and toss it to the dogs.
27Yes it is, Lord, she said. Even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters table.
28Then Jesus said to her, Woman, you have great faith! Your request is granted. And her daughter was healed at that moment.
