Bible Note: "Oh you deny Jesus knew what men didn't know?" Since the Incarnation, Jesus has two natures, one human and one divine. On earth, Jesus in his human nature was not omniscient (Matthew 24:36). I would also assume that He was not born able to speak or walk, for example. Jesus the man learned things, so it is not inconsistent to say that Jesus saw the faith of men in ways similar to the way you and I do. "Your point is not a point. Jesus saw faith. Don't deny this." Where did I state my denial of this? "Faith is seen by Jesus and God." Agreed. "God saw Abraham's faith." Did that happen before or after he outwardly obeyed, however? "God knows all, but He wants man to do and show his faith." No argument there. --Joe! |
