Paired with this one though, it makes better sense. I don't want to split hairs over vocabulary in the bible but I did find some interesting things about the way famous and knowledge are used. The word famous only appears in the Old Testament, usually either speaking of kings or the result of God proving himself to the kings and among the nations. When Jesus comes, He invites people to know Him, and to know The Father (Matthew 11:27, John 17:26). My favorite being John 14:7 "If you really knew me, you would know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him." So yeah, that's what I think. I’ll have to say, I didn’t really know what to think about the first blog about fame.
