Bible Question: When Jesus was here in His mortal body, He needed faith in the Father for what He did not tell Jesus. Which as shown by this verse did happen. Any doubt that Jesus now has all the knowledge of the Father and so no longer needs faith in any way? |
Bible Answer: Dear Tomn, Your comment show the importance of knowing what our words mean, in this case, faith. Faith and knowledge are not opposites, such that to have one means not having the other. In fact faith, at least saving faith, requires knowledge. One cannot have saving faith unless one knows the Gospel of Christ (See Rom 10:1-17). Since faith means to believe, it does not make sense to say that Jesus in heaven does not believe what is true there. Don't confuse the fact that he NEEDED to believe on earth back then and that he DOES believe now. Knowledge does not cancel faith. It is the object of it. Peace, |
