“Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.

don’t give dogs what is sacred because they won’t believe in the jewish God/have respect for sacred things? 

 

‘It is not fair to take the children’s food and throw it to the dogs.’

sacred stuff should not be cast at the dogs, the dogs have no respect for the sacred 

if my understanding is correct, why then do christian apologists say that “jesus was testing the womans faith” when jesus seem to be giving the impression that dogs should not be given that which is sacred? 

it is as if jesus did not think that “gentile dogs” were capable of having faith or give a clever answer 

 

and this seem to be very unneighbourly behaviour
