No problem with that hank, My question is about the verses let me quoted here again those verses: Joh 21:17 He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep In this very passages, the assessment of peter Christ know all things (this time Christ is still in His human form) Mt 24:36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. In that passages (Christ in His human form) answers that no one know the hours but His father only. What do you think of the assessment of peter? did he made mistake? I hope it is clear now. I am not asking about being the omniscent of Christ in human form my question is about the differences between the assessment of peter against the writing of matthew. God bless |

Johnny -- The passages in question, one in John's Gospel and the other in Matthew's, are first of all, not related to one another in any real sense other than that they are both in the New Testament. In the passage in John, it is Peter who says to Jesus, "Lord, you know all things." thus acknowledging Christ's Deity. But the issue of the omniscience of the Incarnate Christ or of the accuracy of Peter's "you-know-all-things" observation are not really dealt with in this passage, in my view, and even if they are and I've failed to see it, they are incidental and don't constitute the main point of the passage, which I believe to be as follows: The Lord by his questions is seeking to impress upon Peter his responsibilites demanded by his love for Jesus, exemplified in His commands to feed His lambs, tend His sheep, feed His sheep...... The Matthew passage is quite different from the one in John. Jesus alone is the speaker, the subject matter is eschatology, and He, speaking as the Incarnate Christ, is saying that the Father alone knows the hour of His (Christ's) second coming...... The two passages do not present conflicting teaching regarding the question of the omniscience or kenosis of the Incarnate Christ. Kenosis is a theological word and not unlike most theological words, is extremely complex. To try to comprehend fully the mystery of God becoming flesh, being fully God and fully man, is I believe beyond the scope of the human mind. At all events, I know it is beyond the scope of the mind of the human being who is writing this posting. --Hank | ||||||
