A 1st Century shunning practice. Hmmm....

Have you found anything that supports something like that existing in the 1st Century? I have not, as of yet... but I am as interested to know as you are.

Havent found any yet....just read where in modern day about some people who shunned their children when they converted to christianity to the point of having funerals for them.Didnt know if it had earlier roots or not.Sorry for all the interrogation.:-)

What a beautiful testimony!!! Thank you so much for sharing it!
