Session 20 - Matthew 15 - Was Jesus a misogynist?

Key Points:

  • 15:3-9  Don’t edit the word of God to suit your beliefs.  (Follow the one Church that Jesus founded.)
  • Jesus came to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable.  At different moments in our lives, we can be both, and we need Jesus equally in both circumstances.
  • Jesus helped the Canaanite (non-Jewish) woman because of her PERSISTENT FAITH.
  • He indirectly referred to her as a “dog”, I believe, to show the Apostles the error of their ways in assuming that Jesus came only for the Jews, using an epithet that they, themselves, likely used to describe Gentiles.  It was a “teaching moment” that Jesus used, for their benefit.
