Dr. Brant Pitre discusses the fact that the conversion of the Gentiles is an expectation in the Old Testament and not just the New Testament in this clip from the Mass Readings Explained.

    Yes, thank you Dr for regurgitating misinformation designed to trick gullible Christians into supporting political Zionism and the acquisition of Palestine by Christ-hating Jews. Misdirecting us and preventing us from understanding where God's people the 12 tribes of Israel ended up on earth, by keeping us focused on Jews and the soil of Palestine is such a blessing. "Strictly speaking, it is incorrect to call an ancient Israelite a Jew, or to call a contemporary Jew an Israelite or Hebrew." -The Jewish Almanac, 1980, p3

    Beautiful reflection...I loved that story when Jesus encountered that woman and He test her not to give up on asking Him and praying. It reflects my own experienced. Sometimes I feel giving up bc I felt I only repeating my prayer but in God's will He answered me anyway...so it taught me how to be patience.

    He never told her not to give up on asking, and he never mentioned praying. All he did was grant her request for "crumbs" from the children's (Israelites') table in the form of casting a devil from her daughter. He never did anything else. He never did anything for her personally. He never told her to follow him. He never said anything about the kingdom. Or redemption. Or salvation. Rather, he called her and her people (Canaanites) "dogs". Something that was never retracted, apologized for, or amended. He also never rebuked his disciples for trying to chase her away, and they never apologized. He never instructed them not to chase "dogs" away again, either. Literally all that happened was that she believed he was capable of fixing her daughter's condition, and asked for him to do so. Which reminds me of "Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I NEVER KNEW YOU: DEPART FROM ME, ye that work iniquity." Mat 7:21-22 They obviously believed in his power over devils, but that doesn't change the fact that he's never known them. His first thought was to remind her that the covenants and promises given to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob don't belong to her or her people. She acknowledged that fact, and requested a "crumb from the children's table", and he granted that request. Period. End of story. "Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon. And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, HAVE MERCY ON ME, O Lord, thou Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil. BUT HE ANSWERED HER NOT A WORD. and his disciples came and besought him, saying, SEND HER AWAY; for she crieth after us. But he answered and said, I AM NOT SENT BUT UNTO THE LOST SHEEP OF THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL. Then came she and worshipped him, saying, LORD, HELP ME. But he answered and said, IT IS NOT MEET TO TAKE THE CHILDREN'S BREAD, AND TO CAST IT TO DOGS. And she said, TRUTH, LORD: yet the dogs eat of the CRUMBS WHICH FALL FROM THEIR MASTERS' TABLE. Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: BE IT UNTO THEE EVEN AS THOU WILT. AND HER DAUGHTER WAS MADE WHOLE FROM THAT VERY HOUR." Mat 15:21-28 How does granting her a crumb from the children's table = giving her a seat at the children's table? Or = transforming her into one of the children? If I somehow gain access to the ear of the leader of some kingdom, and request something for a family member, and my request is granted, does that mean I also become a child of that kingdom, with full citizenship, and access to the privileges and benefits afforded to those who belong to that kingdom? Or does it just mean that my request was granted? Everyone knows the correct answer. Anyone teaching this incident with the Canaanite woman means the covenants and promises that belong to the children of Israel have been taken and given to others is adding to God's word that which isn't there. Jesus already addressed this issue anyway: "GIVE NOT THAT WHICH IS HOLY UNTO THE DOGS, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you." Mat 7:6 Interesting how this doctrine just happens to make way for an endless supply of new converts expected to donate and tithe. Also known as a Conflict of Interest. Paul taught after Jesus and this event. Let's see if he thought the promises made unto the fathers (Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob) belong to everyone now, rather than the children of Israel alone... "And now I stand and am judged FOR THE HOPE OF THE PROMISE MADE OF GOD UNTO OUR FATHERS: UNTO WHICH PROMISE OUR TWELVE TRIBES, INSTANTLY SERVING GOD DAY AND NIGHT, HOPE TO COME. For which hope's sake, king Agrippa, I am accused of the Judaeans." Act 26:6-7 Not seeing it there... "WHO ARE ISRAELITES; To whom pertaineth the adoption, And the glory, And the covenants, And the giving of the law, And the service of God, And the promises; Whose are the fathers, And of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, Who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen." Rom 9:4-5 Not seeing it there either... What about dogs, did he have anything to say about dogs? "BEWARE OF DOGS, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision." Phl 3:2 Oh, there's that. What about the post resurrection Jesus, long after this matter of turning all of God's promises upside down should have been figured out... "Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. FOR WITHOUT ARE DOGS, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie. I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star." Rev 22:14-16 Ok. nm Before anyone starts rattling off about "Gentiles", understand that gentiles is a word used in translating the bible into Latin centuries after the apostles, and that it meant "OF THE SAME FAMILY, TRIBE, OR NATION" at that time. "The English word gentile derives from the Latin word gentilis, meaning "of or belonging to the same people or nation" (from Latin gēns 'clan, tribe, people, family'). Archaic and specialist uses of the word gentile in English (particularly in linguistics) still carry this meaning of "relating to a people or nation"." Also note that the same word translated as "gentiles" (goy) is used for Abraham's descendants: "As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations." Gen 17:4 Apparently Abraham is the father of many gentiles. The same word is used for the nation and company of nations that descended from Jacob. "And God said unto him, I am God Almighty: be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall be of thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins." Gen 35:11 Apparently a gentile and a company of gentiles came out of Jacob's loins. "Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD: But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people." Jer 31:31 "James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting." Jas 1:1

    Isaiah Ch 11: "Then a shoot will spring from the stem of Jesse, and a branch from his roots will bear fruit." - that refers to us gentiles. Genesis 22 God tells Patriarch Abraham : "I will bless thee, and I will multiply thy seed as the stars of heaven, and as the sand that is by the sea shore: thy seed shall possess the gates of their enemies. And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, because thou hast obeyed my voice" - that refers to us gentiles Isaiah predicts gentile eunuch priests in Ch56 and Jesus confirms in Matthew Ch11: "for there are eunuchs who were born that way (sterile), and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by others (castrated) --and there are those who CHOOSE to live like eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven (celibate). The one who can accept this should accept it." This applies to celibate Catholic priests who are fulfilling this prophecy.

    "And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots: And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD." Isa 11:1-2

    This is Hebrew parallelism. The stem of Jesse is David. The rod out of David the stem of Jesse is Jesus. The Branch is Jesus. Nobody else is referred to in Isaiah 11:1. Gentiles is a word made up from a Latin word used to translate the scriptures centuries after the New testament was written, "gentilis", meaning "OF THE SAME FAMILY, TRIBE, OR NATION". Its definition has been changed during the past few centuries to support the doctrine of political Zionism and the acquisition of Palestine by Jews. The words switched to "gentiles" in translations of the bible are goy and ethne, both of which simply mean nations. Abraham was promised to be the father of many goy/ethne. God promised that a goy/ethnos and a company of goy/ethne would come from Jacob's loins. None of God's promises and covenants were made with "Jews" in the first place, and goy and ethne have NEVER meant "non Jews", it's impossible for them to be defined that way, so the entire concept of gentiles meaning "non Jews" is completely absurd. "Strictly speaking, it is incorrect to call an ancient Israelite a Jew, or to call a contemporary Jew an Israelite or Hebrew." -The Jewish Almanac, 1980, p3 God's people are the 12 tribes of Israel: Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Dan, Gad, Asher, Zebulon, Naphtali, Issachar, Judah, Joseph, and Benjamin - whom he promised would always be a people on earth, and will populate the New Jerusalem in the age to come. Those unable to believe that God can fulfill his promises to the 12 tribes need to take it up with him, rather than twisting his words to mean something they don't due to their lack of faith. I for one, have 100% confidence that all of God's tribes, whom he calls the apple of his eye, are here on the earth today - simply under different names.

    What really opened my eyes was when Jesus called a Canaanite woman a dog. The woman would not leave without a miracle. She said, “Even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master’s table.” Jesus told her, “Woman, you have great faith! Your request is granted."

    Everything beyond that is an absurd fantasy. Jesus continued calling Canaanites dogs, as did his disciples. Neither Jesus or any of his disciples apologized for calling her a dog, or took it back. He never told her to follow him. Or mentioned redemption. Salvation. Or anything other than granting her request. Granting someone a personal request has nothing to do with the Covenants and Promises made to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and their descendants. Allowing a Canaanite woman a crumb from the children's table doesn't = allowing her to sit at the children's table, or magically transform her into one of the children. "Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon. And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil. But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us. But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me. But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs. And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table. Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour." Mat 15:21-28 It's amazing how people take the story and make it mean the opposite of everything stated within it. You can see why church leaders would do it though, because it opens the door to billions of potential new "children", which translates into more tithes and donations. "Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you." Mat 7:6 "For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet. I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me. They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture. But be not thou far from me, O LORD: O my strength, haste thee to help me. Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the dog." Psa 22:16-20 "Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision." Phl 3:2 "Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie. I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, the bright and morning star." Rev 22:14-16
