1 | Our authority in His name? | John 6:29 | Morant61 | 217679 | ||
Greetings David! Concerning the limitations of Christ during His incarnation, Matthew 24:36 is quite clear: "‘No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.'" So, Christ clearly was not omniscient during His incarnation. In a similar vein, Luke 2:52 says of Christ: "And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men." If Christ were omniscient during His incarnation, He could not grow in wisdom. Just a few thoughts for consideration! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Hello Tim, I thought that these might come up! As to the Matt 24v36 passage - I'll get back to you later as I'm not at home at the min. As to the Luke 2v52 passage I have no problems at all. Wisdom is the practical application of knowledge. The Lord grew in the experiential application of knowledge throughout His pathway upon earth. There are things that were not experienced prior to His coming that He experienced upon earth - we know that from the Hebrew epistle. You are aware that it has now been stated that the One Who is "God with us" (Matt 1) was not omnipresent and was not omniscient. At this rate it will not be long before someone declares that He was not eternal or omnipotent. And then I ask you (I speak as a fool) is He God at all? I submit that when the Lord became incarnate He was not God minus anything, He was God plus holy humanity. That is the way Scripture speaks of His incarnation. (Heb 2, Matt 1, Luke 1, Romans 9 etc). Will post later DV. In Him David |

Now for the Matt 24v36 passage. 1. You will note that the expression "neither the Son" is omitted from the KJV/NKJV versions in Matt 24v36 and I believe it should be. 2. The word "neither the Son" ARE however found in Marks Gospel Ch13v32 and the reason why I believe this is the case I have noted below. We have been given 4 Gospel records, each with a particular purpose (as most will know). Matthew presents the Lord as King/Messiah, Mark as Servant, Luke as Man, John as Son of God. In the Gospel of Mark the Lord Jesus is presented to us as the perfect Servant and that is why I believe this expression is recorded there. In John 15v15 we read these words "...the servant knoweth not what his master doeth...". When the Lord said that, what He was saying is that it is not the servants PLACE to know such things. Now, I believe that this is the position the Lord takes up in Mark 13v32. He is the Servant - as such He has been given certain truths to reveal by the Father, this He does perfectly. But, when it comes to "the day or hour" He does not know in the sense that it is not His place to know as a Servant. I want to quote William MacDonald if I may: "It is well known that this verse has been used by enemies of the gospel to prove that Jesus was nothing more than a man with limited knowledge like ourselves. It has also been used by sincere but misguided believers to demonstrate that Jesus emptied Himself of the attributes of Deity when He came into the world as a man. Neither of these interpretations is true. Jesus was and is both God and Man. He had all the attributes of Deity and all the characteristics of perfect manhood. It is true that His Deity was veiled in a body of flesh, but it was there nonetheless. There was never a time when He was not fully God." (William MacDonald, Believers Bible Commentary, Pg1357). To use this one verse as a basis for an argument against the Lord Jesus possessing the full attributes of deity is in my opinion very unwise. Hope this hs helpful to some. In Him David |

I think the issue is with two users using the same computer. If you two open two different browsers and do not log off, the posts will appear under the last one in. | ||||||
