It does say exactly what it means...but YOU proved MY point that it HAS to be explained further so we understand how the GENTILES were brought in OTHERWISE it can be MISunderstood to possibly mean that Christ DIDNT come to save gentiles....and that Christ said that He had OTHER sheep not of that fold that He would draw also.No, that verse says exactly what it means and means exactly what it says, which was my point. Jesus was sent specifically to the house of Israel and no one else.
There are doctrines out there that literally teach that Christ DIDNT come for the Gentiles at all and that only because of Paul can the gentiles be saved...which is a complete distortoin of Christs words since BY His coming and being rejected the INTENT was TO bring salvation TO the gentiles.
His statement is true, but its only intent is that His IMMEDIATE MINISTRY during His lifetime was aimed solely at the lost of Israel.
And again...here I am EXPLAINING the intent because the verse ALONE leaves much to the imagination without knowing the INTENT.
Its EXACTLY the same for your game with your pet passages.
please dont play the retraction game here David....YOU felt to EXPLAIN the meaning of the verse, as I knew you would if you responded to it.
And THAT is precisly the point...MANY scriptures ARE true as written but CAN be misinterpreted or in your case, outright misrepresented, when compared to the whole
That would be because OTHER words of Christ show EXCEPTION...ie your pet passage there ISNT the whole story eitherYou on the other hand want to convince us that "everyone who divorces and remarries commits adultery" (Luke 16:18) actually means that no one who divorces and remarries commits adultery, but this verse, like Mat. 15:24, in fact means exactly what it says and says exactly what it means.

This little game you & keepingfaith play at crosswalk wont work here, Im afraid. We have Kryptonite to weaken your superpowers here...its called 'bible study'
another round ?Mat 5:32 But I say to you that whoever shall put away his wife, except for the cause of fornication, causes her to commit adultery*. And whoever shall marry her who is put away commits adultery.
Mat 19:9 And I say to you, Whoever shall put away his wife, except for fornication, and shall marry another, commits adultery; and whoever marries her who is put away commits adultery.
I have plenty of time this evening, as usual
