So first he shows me the scripture of the Canaanite gentile woman where Christ says (Matthew 15: 22-18)
“A Canaanite woman from that vicinity came to him, crying out, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on me! My daughter is demon-possessed and suffering terribly.”
Jesus did not answer a word. So his disciples came to him and urged him, “Send her away, for she keeps crying out after us.”
He answered, “I was sent ONLY to the lost sheep of Israel.”
The woman came and knelt before him. “Lord, help me!” she said.
He replied, “It is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.”
“Yes it is, Lord,” she said. “Even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master’s table.”
Then Jesus said to her, “Woman, you have great faith! Your request is granted.” And her daughter was healed at that moment.”
He uses this scripture to justify his view that Christ only came to save the Israelites, but why is it that he decided to woman’s daughter because of the faith she had for him? That alone is proof that Jesus Christ loves everyone. He said it didn’t matter that Jesus gave her daughter a healing because they were still “dogs” to Jesus.
Then I gave him the scriptures John 3:16
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
and Romans 9:24-26
"even us, whom he also called, not only from the Jews but also from the Gentiles? As he says in Hosea:
“I will call them ‘my people’ who are not my people;
and I will call her ‘my loved one’ who is not my loved one,"
And,
“In the very place where it was said to them,
‘You are not my people,’
there they will be called ‘children of the living God.”"
