What prayer do you use every night so that /ourpresident/ can be blessed with wisdom regarding the legalization of million of Christians currently esoteric in the USA?
Christianity
It does sound a little out of tune with the Bible and like a completely different Jesus from 18:6. He was rude to her at first, calling her an animal, and waiting for her to leave. But I think he helped her solely to make a point concerning the power of faith.
Our species is replaceable by God. Heck, if we are to evolve past mankind, we are not to be too attached to our species.

“And, behold, one of the children of Israel came and brought unto his brethren a Mid´i-anitish woman in the sight of Moses, and in the sight of all the congregation of the children of Israel, who were weeping before the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. And when Phin´ehas, the son of Ele-a´zar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose up from among the congregation, and took a javelin in his hand; and he went after the man of Israel into the tent, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her belly. So the plague was stayed from the children of Israel. And those that died in the plague were twenty and four thousand. And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Phin´ehas, the son of Ele-a´zar, the son of Aaron the priest, hath turned my wrath away from the children of Israel, while he was zealous for my sake among them, that I consumed not the children of Israel in my jealousy. Wherefore say, Behold, I give unto him my covenant of peace: and he shall have it, and his seed after him, even the covenant of an everlasting priesthood; because he was zealous for his God, and made an atonement for the children of Israel.”
Numbers 25:6-13
“A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of the Lord; even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of the Lord.”

“Beware of all whoredom, my son, and chiefly take a wife of the seed of thy fathers, and take not a strange woman to wife, which is not of thy father's tribe.”
Tobit 4:12
You shall not intermarry with them, giving your daughters to their sons or taking their daughters for your sons, for they would turn away your sons from following me, to serve other gods. Then the anger of the Lord would be kindled against you, and he would destroy you quickly.
Deuteronomy 7:3-4
*Matthew 18:6

Pope Gregory I (c.540-604), also known as Gregory the Great, was influential in the formation of Catholic doctrine in relation to the Jews. He was responsible for a notable Papal Bull which spoke of a requirement for Christians to protect and defend the Jewish people, which became official doctrine.

"Protestants were complaining about Catholics worshipping the bones of dogs and animals," said Koudounaris. "One church had something they thought was the brain of St. Peter. It turned out to be a calcified potato."
Christianity is so burdened and warped. Its current American expression is as an external authority to place anxiety in, or some relief in it's cosmic justice, or an identity to wear, like some people do with vegetarianism. It's most of the time it's not even the Christianity of your grandparents. It's not local, there's ever diminishing cultural continuity, and the truth is whatever people want to hear.
But didn't Jesus tell his disciples to go out into all nations? By that logic, Jesus extends mercy to the Amalekites too, who are more hated than Canaan in the OT.
