How could Jesus, being already omniscient and perfect, increase in wisdom? | ||||||
2 | How could Jesus increase in wisdom? | Luke 2:52 | Sir Pent | 14526 | ||
My personal belief on this is that when Jesus became a man, He put aside temporarily some of His Godly abilities (Philippians 2:5-7), in order to identify more fully with mankind (Hebrews 4:14-15). I believe that omniscience was one of these things, which Jesus, temporarily gave up. For instance, in Mark 13:32, Jesus claims to not know the exact day and hour of His return. With this perspective, there is no conflict with Jesus growing in wisdom. P.S. Steve, please do not take offense to this, for in fact I have defended you before in other threads on this forum. However, I am curious. It seems that certain forum members have an inclination to attack your posts. I must admit that it seems a large number of your questions, do relate to very difficult (and often controversial) questions, such as this one. As I looked at your profile, I recieved little clarification as to your background. Would you mind giving a little more information about yourself, and why you ask so many questions that could be dangerous to less mature believer's faith? |

I agree with your summation. It is something we cannot understand, or atleast I cannot. I take to offense for you asking about me. I have been a believer for over 40 years. While I was raised in a Baptist General Conference church, I do not hold to all their doctrine. They are all minor issues. I ask questions because - I came across them as I studied. I may have gone overboard in James. - I read them somewhere else or heard it asked. - I want people to think for themselves and hone their theology. Steve |
