Again, I think I need to voice my discontent with the liberties you take with
the text. Previously the offending portions were arguably consistent and
attributable to some form of interpretation. This, while I may not agree with, I
can at least accept.
In this latest addition, you have portrayed Christ in a very unsympathetic and
bad light by only including a part of the entire story. This I find to be
intellectually dishonest and entirely unacceptable.
Here is the entire story for those who are curious what I am talking about. I
have bolded the omitted portion:
‘21 And Jesus went away from there and withdrew to the district of Tyre and
Sidon. 22 And behold, a Canaanite woman from that region came out and cried,
“Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David; my daughter is severely possessed by a
demon.” 23 But he did not answer her a word. And his disciples came and begged
him, saying, “Send her away, for she is crying after us.” 24 He answered, “I was
sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” 25 But she came and knelt
before him, saying, “Lord, help me.” 26 And he answered, “It is not fair to take
the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.” 27 She said, “Yes, Lord, yet
even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters’ table.” 28 Then Jesus
answered her, “O woman, great is your faith! Be it done for you as you desire.”
And her daughter was healed instantly.’ -Matthew 15:21-28 (RSV)
A very disappointed,
Steve
