Did you know that Jesus Christ was a racist? In a TikTok video, Reverend Brandan Robertson asserts that the Son of God used a racial slur.
Robertson is an author, activist, public theologian, and the pastor of Missiongathering Christian Church in San Diego, California.
This racist action supposedly takes place in Chapter 7 of the Gospel of Mark, when Jesus is sought out by a Syrophoenician woman in the district of Tyre. She begs Jesus to free her daughter from the demon that is possessing her.
Robertson said that Jesus replied, “It’s not good for Me to give the children’s food, meaning the children of Israel's food, to dogs.”
As he emphasizes in an extremely uncomfortable close up shot, “He calls her a dog," seemingly because of her race. […]
“I love this story because it’s a reminder that Jesus is human,” Robertson related. “He had prejudices and biases and when confronted with it, he was willing to do his work.” …

This thing is a queer activist. It is not a pastor.
You can make the Bible say anything you want when you take it out of Context !!!!!
Calling Jesus a racist proves this man is no Holy Spirit filled Christian....
Jesus does not refer to the girl as a dog.
26 The woman was a Greek, born in Syrian Phoenicia. She begged Jesus to drive the demon out of her daughter.
27 “First let the children eat all they want,” he told her, “for it is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.”
28 “Lord,” she replied, “even the dogs under the table eat the children’s crumbs.”
29 Then he told her, “For such a reply, you may go; the demon has left your daughter.”
30 She went home and found her child lying on the bed, and the demon gone.
One member you will always find in church is satan. His spiritual deadness is very strong. Thanks be to God His Holy Spirit is restraining the full revealing of the satan power, but not for much longer. If we think it is bad today, what is coming soon to this planet is so much worse, so much more pernicious.
I might need fb for my Oculus (for now) and twitter (read only) to keep track of things.
No way would I EVER install tix tox.
Even in Mark 7, the word translated “dogs” is from the Greek word that means “puppies”.

I wonder what caused them to leave out “queer as a three-dollar bill”?
I’d explain it to him, but I don’t cast my pearls before swine.
It what you get from floating around searching for relevance.
How very ridiculous the world has become.
It’s all fun and games until you are before a Great White Throne with the Great I AM seated upon it.
There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
How very ridiculous the world has become.

That about covers it. *sigh*
Jesus was using a metaphor to bypass conscious resistance and to communicate a message to the unconscious mind directly. He was not directly implying that she was a dog.
28 “Lord,” she replied, “even the dogs under the table eat the children’s crumbs.”
29 Then he told her, “For such a reply, you may go; the demon has left your daughter.” "
Thanks so much for that full explanation!
Or a puppy.
Although I am certain that distain for people who looked different is widespread throughout history, it’s unlikely that anyone from the time of Jesus would have a similar concept for racism that we have today.
Slavery was rampant in most cultures until well into the twentieth century. Certainly if the slaves were of another race and easily separated from the dominant culture then the concept of racism would likely be present, though, again, not as we see it today. The Ottoman empire was still producing eunuchs until Ataturk’s time. Those slaves were almost exclusively blacks imported from Africa. There was no call inside the empire to end the practice and the concept and the practice of slavery is still widespread in Muslim culture. (That’s why when I see Black Muslims I know I am looking at idiots.)
Incidentally, when foreign women are imported into Saudi Arabia for housework, their passport lists a “master.” They can not leave Saudi Arabia without the permission of the “master.”
Today in America, slaves are produced using student loans. The way it works is a student gets a huge loan for a degree in, say, Gender Studies, and then must spend the rest of their lives serving fries at McDonald’s.
