Women and Jesus:
"Jesus Loses an Argument"
This is a deeply troubling passage of scripture, both in Matthew and in Mark. Jesus doesn't act like Jesus, and it is the only time in the gospels where Jesus loses an argument--not to a fellow Jew or even a Rabbi, but to a Gentile woman. Apologists have tried to smooth this over, their arguments hold no water. Jesus uses a derogatory slur to shut this woman up, but she is having none of that, and will turn his bigoted slur around and destroy his argument. So strap in, we are going to get very uncomfortable as we are confronted by a Jesus we don't like who is holding up a mirror to our own inner feelings.
