First of all, I don't give a rip about your ignorant 80/20 rule reports, speeches, research and college papers. All that teaching just wisdom of words that all about amounts to cut and paste google articles anyway.
Who are YOU when you infer that a saint filled with the Holy Spirit may not 'make the grade' from your 80/20 rule? Are you inferring that those people must come up to you or any teacher to be fit to learn and teach others?
Jesus thanked the Father that He's hid from the wise and prudent of this world and revealed it to the babes in Christ.
I Corinthians
17For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.
18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.
22 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:
23 But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;
24 But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
26 For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:
27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;
28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:
29 That no flesh should glory in his presence.

This someone who asked the Lord to suffer first to go and bury his father. Jesus said, “Follow me and the dead bury their dead.
Christ said nothing about this man coming into any “inner circle”. And the bible doesn’t say whether he stayed and buried his father or that he followed Christ. The bible only says what Christ told him and not how this man responded....and it was one of his disciples that asked it! (
Matthew 8:21,22) So how can you imply this man never made it into what you call “the inner circle” because of his excuses?
But here in
Luke 9:59, 60
59 And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.
60 Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.
I see nowhere nowhere anything about being in an ‘inner circle’. Jesus told him to let the dead bury their dead, but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.
Again...there is no indication that this man did not comply to Christ’s command. The bible simply does not say.

Christ did not directly call this woman a dog in a derogatory manner. She was outside of the covenant of Israel, of which people Christ was sent to first. She responded that even dogs desire the crumbs. Let’s put this in the context that the scriptures wrote.
Mark 7:26-29
The woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation; and she besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter.
27 But Jesus said unto her, Let the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it unto the dogs.
28 And she answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs.
29 And he said unto her, For this saying go thy way; the devil is gone out of thy daughter.

HEH. This is not even in the same class as calling people trailor park trash webcam profits. Jesus perceived what they really are...who their father was. Jesus did not play with words. Yet, he never got personal with flippant derogatory terms.

Not quite. Christ desired even the scribes and pharisees to be saved. But their pride and arrogance of their “knowledge” and “power” kept them from seeing the truth of who Christ is.
Going back to Christ’s statement:
Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.
Not that the Father has revealed to a choice “inner circle” of people these things.

While I agree that Christ is loving and compassionate for the underdog, it is not WHY he taught his disciples. He may have taught the disciples many things to be merciful to people who are not of high status, but that was not the sole reason.
Who taught him after Philip baptized him and he went on his way rejoicing in the Spirit?
