Spinning off from this thread:
I really don't. Jesus never even addressed the Jewish religious leaders when talking to the centurion in the excerpt you quoted. He certainly doesn't make some point about the religious leaders being wrong in saying the Tanakh is about the people of Israel, or them by extension.
If you track back two posts you’ll see.

Sure, those are valid examples. They're also the very first part of the first book of the OT. Can you tell me how the rest of the OT, the vast majority of it, reveals the nature of humanity?two examples would be Adam and Eve showing the break down and role of men and women, and being too lenient on evil creating a world of evil men via Cain and Abel leading to Noah and his family being the last good people on earth. But to be honest this is more fitting conversation for a specifically biblical discussion which would be way more enjoyable than this.
