>>17832902No, it doesn't "explicitly" say that. you're lying. What it says is that the reason why Jesus should help his people before helping foreigners is the same reason why a father should feed his children before feeding the dog.
>24 He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel.”Jesus the man says that his duty is to help his people , his nation
>25 The woman came and knelt before him. “Lord, help me!” she said.The canaanite woman asks him for help anyway
>26 He replied, “It is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.”Jesus the man says that the reason why his duty is to help his nation, is the same reason why a father has a duty to feed his children rather than those who are not his children, such as a dog
>27 “Yes it is, Lord,” she said. “Even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master’s table.”the woman agrees with Jesus's reasoning and extends his reasoning, explaining that even though it is right and proper that a man feed his children , it's ok for non-family members like the dog to eat the left overs.
>28 Then Jesus said to her, “Woman, you have great faith! Your request is granted.” And her daughter was healed at that moment.Jesus agrees with the woman affirms that the woman's extension of Jesus's reasoning is a statement of "great faith",i.e. agrees with his teaching.
So Jesus is affirming what the Canaanite woman said : that the reason why Jesus, a jew, should help the jews first before giving charity to foreigners is the same reason why a father should make sure his children are fed first before feeding non-family members like the dog.
And since all men have a duty to make sure their children are fed first, so too do all men have a duty to look after their own people/nation/race/ethnicity before looking after foreigners.
so matthew 15:22-28 clearly teaches that christians should be ethnocentric and look after their own people first before looking after foreigners.
