KJV

Is that righteous?
Usin' the dog was a parable or metaphor concernin' a GENTILE meanin' it is not always good to share the gospel with a Gentile or Atheist,to which she responded:Yet the dogs eat the crumbs from off the master's table,which means SOME Gentiles or atheists hear ENOUGH of the gospel to become hungry for more and be converted! This woman was ALREADY converted by what she heard and saw and was convinced and desparate to the point that Jesus himself MARVELLED at her persistence and was taught BY HER that his message was for the Gentiles as well! Sometimes even the MASTER needs reproof and correction and Jesus recognized this and was humbled by her faith! That's why he said WOMAN GREAT IS YOUR FAITH! Go in peace,your daughter is healed!:thumbsup:
