It’s important to note that Matthew 15:21-28 is aligned to Matthew 8:5-13.

In the former, Christ is teaching the apostles a lesson not so much chastising the woman. Jews of that time referred to gentiles as dogs, “kuon” in Greek, referring to spiritually uncleanliness. This is likely how the apostles viewed this woman. Christ instead calls her “Kunarion”, a softer term, for “puppy” which lacks the negative spiritual connotation of the former term. He takes the hypocrisy of that negative view and recapitulates or flips it on its head. Only two people in the NT does Christ say their faith is great and neither were Jewish. Primacy of Jews is instead understood as a “first among equals” (much the same way Peter, Apostle to the Jews, was understood as “first among equals” among the apostles). The latter verse with the Centurion would have also been a stumbling block to the Apostles and Jews.

It is also not Jesus speaking in Romans 1:16 but Paul, writing to a Jewish and Gentile audience. Here again is an honorific “firstness” denoted by the “proton kai” in the verse. Not that Jews literally are granted salvation first, sequentially, but that the gospel was brought out of the Jewish tradition.

I think “first among equals” is a good way to describe it. But, the point is, the conversion of the Jews still holds a place of special importance compared to the conversion of the gentiles.

Frickin' sweet. I mostly agree, lots to unpack here though. As for the original author of that video- he's an interesting person. youtube.com/@gottmituns650.

Most of his biblical interpretation revolves around cross-referencing translations of the Septuagint and the Hebrew Original, then replacing discrepancies & errors with his own suggested elucidation.

For example, he doesn't believe in the concept of "Satan" like most Christians since Moses never mentioned him once and in Greek it means an adversary. He's also convinced that the sons of Noah from the Bible are the ancestors of all Aryanic peoples. I'd really like to believe this because it means we're up big, but I don't know if the brownness from the pre-Jesus-era Middle East is on the same level as it is today. You think all that blood would change considering all the invading empires and subsequent repopulation. Maybe you would know since you like studying those friggin' haplogroups and such.

I haven't had the chance to ask the author yet, but I think he regrets doing this video due to the fanfictions he's inserted. Cannibal=Canaan+Ball? probably grabbed that out of his A-hole (no swearing)

Yeah. He's Jewish himself, too. I feel like he has a lot of self-pity, kinda like Waluigi from Super Mario. My life is like a video game

I thought Muslims kept the Jews around because of their role as traders and not due to religion, i mean Mohammed wiped out entire jewish tribes in arabia (excluding yemen)
