As for the woman who came to Christ and said that even the dogs ate the crumbs that fell to the floor, in those days it was common for the diner when finishing dining to take bread to clean their hands and cast it to the floor and the dogs would come and get it. This woman demonstrates that she has great faith in Jesus...she is not held back by the law, therefore she is given grace and mercy.
Being human you have ears hear: verse 15)prior spoke of what enterth in defiles not a man. but what proceeded out defiles him. If you heard the chip,666,mk of the beast was here, all nation, all tongue, and said nothing,did nothing to try to help others, would that not defile that man? If he sat and watched porn, took all that in, would that not defile him? Listened to garbage in church by their very own bro/sis would that not defile him? planting a seed of good, or of evil, once it's planted, the water and harvesting of the seed helps it to grow. If we do not say anything just continue to listen because we have ears to hear, while harvesting in all that we continue to receive on that matter. would you not eventually be defiled?
I have a friend who awakes, walks and talks anti-swine. Then the next day He starts all over again. Becoming a veggie only eater .All at the cost of becoming obese. This obsession is increasing worsened daily.

It seems that Jesus wasn't contradicting the laws of cleanliness. He was saying that the relative EMPHASIS that the Jews placed on the rituals was not as critical as what was in their hearts. Jesus was not contradicting the ceremonial laws, but he was giving them their place in the heirarchy of importance to God.
In the case of the Syrophoenician woman, jesus seems to have made a play on words with the word "children", meaning the Children of Israel, and actual children. The woman continues the word-play. I wonder why Jesus would make this statement to her. It could be taken almost as him mocking her, and that would not be his intent. Could someone discuss this?
