Bible Note: Greetings Johnny! Good afternoon my friend! It seems that there is much confusion out there about the nature of Christ. Scriptures are clear that there is only one God my friend! Is. 43:10, among others, clearly states this fact. Yet, John 1:1, among others, says that Jesus is God. So, the doctrine of the Trinity simply explains how these two pieces of data can be true at the same time. You are correct that Jesus said He did not know the time. However, this was during His incarnation. As a Man, Jesus did not know. Just like, as a Man, He could die. But, according to Phil. 2:5-11, these were voluntary restrictions which Jesus placed upon Himself. As to His essential nature, He is God. He is Creator and Savior. But, during the incarnation, Hebrews tells us that He become a little lower than an angel. He took upon Himself weaknesses and frailities. He experienced hunger and thrist. He experienced pain and even death. But, none of this changes the fact that He is God. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
