Courage in the Line of Fire - Is “I Never Knew You” a Jewish Form of Excommunication?
from KNEO Podcast
When Jesus said, "I never knew you," was He using a known Jewish formula of excommunication? Dr. Brown walks you through the passage, the Talmud's use of that phrase in Moed Katan 16a, a weaker parallel in Eruvin 53a, and Craig Keener's commentary, then shows why it can mean either "you were never truly Mine" or "you were Mine and I am cutting you off." ~~~FRONTL|NE Newsletter: https://thelineoffire.org/newsletterDonate: https://thelineoffire.org/donate-one-timeX: https://twitter.com/DrMichaelLBrownYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@LFTVInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/drmichaelbrownFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/ASKDrBrownWebsite: https://thelineoffire.orgRadio Broadcast from The Line of Fire Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
