"I’ve experienced a lot of pushback from people unwilling to accept, first, that Jesus could have been a little bit obnoxious or rude, and second, that he could learn or change because of someone else’s faithfulness. Though for some, Jesus needs to remain pristine and strangely omniscient (if not psychic) at all times, I actually find more to embrace in his more human moments.......

No. That Syrophoenician woman was a Gentile. We were considered dogs by the Jews. Of course, you know this.

Is there an alterior motive to this thread?

The title of the blog "Red Letter Christians" is a hint as to what is to come. The second hint is it is a blog by Campolo. Which then lends to the heresy and disrespect given to Jesus in the op is of no surprise. Such "musings" will be answered for.

Stumbled upon it and I thought I would share. I am a very generous person :saint:

People were called "bigots" by some other people in another thread, for trying to follow scripture. Perhaps this is a way of calling them out ?

I had to chuckle when I read who wrote the article that Doulos is commending to us:

Christian Piatt is an author, editor, speaker, musician and spoken word artist. He co-founded Milagro Christian Church [Disciples of Christ] in Pueblo, Colorado with his wife, Rev. Amy Piatt, in 2004.

In the "Women Teaching Men" thread Doulos was claiming that "There is nothing wrong in being a bigot in of itself [sic]" and that "Jesus was a bigot".
