Jesus seems to have bought into the prevailing culture which simply dismissed the woman and her daughter, but his response to the encounter has a transformative effect on both him and the Syrophonecian family! I'm not sure that being inculturated is a sin, and in lots of ways it is 'the way of the world' - perhaps the sin comes from remaining within falsehood when you see there is another way.<br /><br />Lots to think about though, <a href "http://www.sarahlaughed.net/lectionary/2006/09/proper_18_year_.html#comments">Sarah Dylan Breur's post</a> on the same item was great, putting what i said in a much better way (i think, that's not false humility but an acknowledgement of her skill). I was amazed though, that not having read her blog she saw many of the same things i did in it.<br /><br />We, of course, view the scriptures through 21st century lenses, so the way we see Jesus acting jars with our way of acting, this was in a different culture in a different time. Perhaps we are over sensitive?Alastairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05802335223679839807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7902992.post-10300522639062159342006-09-14T02:37:00.000+01:002006-09-14T02:37:00.000+01:00I found your sight while reading your comments on ...I found your sight while reading your comments on Sarah's. I really enjoyed both of your thoughts on this passage. So many people address the deaf man or the mute etc...<br /><br />I find the way Jesus addresses the woman horrible. If you or I would do that it would be a sin but with Jesus it isn't? (your comment on fully man and fully God, without sin got me on thinking this). Could it be Jesus was like all of us learning God's will? I just wonder if being of God, chosen byt God and being God might be well, <br />I guess I should say help here!<br /><br />You've got me thinking. My heart cries for the woman and her daughter. <br /><br />Bobinwashpa@yahoo.com <br />Peace BobRobert Christianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15078194319420454758noreply@blogger.com
