That is a seriously strange idea, and if we didn't live in a culture where that idea is a commonplace, and were hearing it for the first time from strangers, we'd readily recognize that. We'd be convinced they were touched in the head - not just that, we'd think there was something seriously wrong with them.<br /><br />And there are more strange things, the Incarnation being only the one that happens to be seasonal.<br /><br />Perhaps if you're not seriously confused, morally as well as conceptually, it's a sign that you're understanding things wrong.jaedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03328666344764784829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19305198.post-44165315885057975302015-12-24T09:13:06.083-05:002015-12-24T09:13:06.083-05:00Matthew 15:26-27, when Jesus tells the Canaanite w...Matthew 15:26-27, when Jesus tells the Canaanite woman it's not right for him to heal her daughter because his mission is to Israel, and he shouldn't take food from the children and feed it to the dogs.
