Matthew 15 26 And He answered and said, "It is not good to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs." 27 But she said, "Yes, Lord; but even the dogs feed on the crumbs which fall from their masters' table." 28 Then Jesus said to her, "O woman, (1) your faith is great; it shall be done for you as you wish." And her daughter was healed at once.
"Dogs" was a term used for gentiles or nonbelievers. Izzy -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Charles P.

[I added the comments in brackets - cpl] You aren't serious here are you? Surely you are pulling TT's collective leg by suggesting that the use of "dogs" in Rev 22:15 refers to actual canines. Could "dogs" in this context be some figurative, idiomatic, or pejorative use of the word that was common in the period in which the revelation was written to refer to some group or class of people? >He is taking the old dirt nap, and that is as far as he is goin'. Really, Terry. "Dirt nap"? Shouldn't you be a little more sensitive? Perry _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your messages with MSN 8.
