This must be understood the right way. The final objective of that incident was to praise that woman's attitude and faith over the lack of faith and criticism that Christ got from his own people. |
Jesus calls a woman a dog and makes it clear that he is only concerned with the well being of Hebrews, highlighting Jesus' actual intentions of liberating Israel from its Roman occupiers. This is not the Christianity that Paul spread throughout the Roman Empire, and the give 'Caesar what is his' mentality that Paul endorsed to ease persecution from Rome.
It would be like me trying to spread Communism and giving you Adam Smith's 'The Wealth of Nations' to read.
Jesus wanted to free Israel from Rome and Paul wanted to spread Christianity through the Roman Empire. Even with numerous alterations and admissions to Christianity thoughout the ages, this fundamental meaning is still preserved in the Bible.
