***This is the reason why Jesus didn’t teach the Romans about his divinity***

No, THIS is the reason!

READ your bible.
Mat 15:24
“But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”

He was sent to the house of Israel, because they are the ones that would crucify Him and the was the plan. Which is what I said. Basically what you did was tell me that I'm wrong, then give an example of why I'm right. -Thanks!

Exactly. Thus the choosing of Paul to go to the Gentiles (most likely, most FReepers). JESUS called him to apostleship, boggles the mind how many want to put themselves back with the Jews and ignore the “exceeding great revelations” given to Paul on our behalf. His ministry did include an appeal to his “kinsmen in the flesh”, but by the time his later prison letters were written it was “one new man out of the two”. No more dividing wall. No more “to the Jew first”. Heavenly things.

We are not the Syrophoenician Woman begging for the children’s crumbs! Why? Because HIM and His marvelous grace!!!
