Matt.15:21-28,When woman says, “Please, Lord, for even the dogs eat the scraps that fall from their masters table.”
Was she not contradicting our Lord?
 
No, I don’t think she was contradicting Our Lord, she was simply intensifying her plea–and it worked…👍

Contradicting, no. Belligerent, yes. 😛

Actually this is a beautiful symbolic passage, with the Canaanite woman humbling herself as a dog at the table, not wanting the bread for the children (Jesus delivering to the lost Israelites), but mere scraps, knowing that these tiny morsels will cure her own needs.
