You have to be either very brave or very stupid to claim that Christ did not know certain things.
If you were to read and understand all the things Chri ...[text shortened]... n the Day of Pentecost, then you would see that Christ knew everything that was going to happen.

This is not the teaching of men, it is biblical.

Christ is NOT separate, he is crucial and very much a part of it. He is the Head.

I am neither, it is what the bible says.
If you were to read and understand all the things Christ said just before the Comforter came on the Day of Pentecost, then you would see that Christ knew everything that was going to happen.
At what point God revealed it to him, I do not know. I do know that he did not know everything.
Here are some verses to study. Jesus did not know everything....
Luke 2:52
And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.
NKJV
Jesus had to learn and grow in wisdom, he had to study the existing scriptures, which was only old testament.
Mark 13:32
"But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
NKJV
Jesus did not know...
1 Cor 2:6-8
However, we speak wisdom among those who are mature, yet not the wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. 7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages for our glory, 8 which none of the rulers of this age knew;
NKJV
The mystery was kept hidden in God, it was not revealed in the old testament nor the gospels.
Furthermore, in the Old Testament God took the blame for good and evil for various reasons.
Jesus declared God, or made Him known.
John 1:18
The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him.
NKJV
You tell me, I challenge anyone, where do you see this in the old testament?
Matt 10:8
Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, [cast out demons.]
NKJV
Mark 16:17-18
And these signs will follow those who believe: In [My name they will cast out demons]; they will speak with new tongues;
NKJV
Luke 10:20
Nevertheless do not rejoice in this,[ that the spirits are subject to you], but rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven."
NKJV
We live in the Age of Grace, which is far different than the old testament or the gospel period.
Eph 3:2-6
if indeed you have heard of the [dispensation of the grace of God] which was given to me for you, 3 how that by revelation He made known to me the mystery (as I have briefly written already, 4 by which, when you read, you may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ), 5 which in other ages was not made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to His holy apostles and prophets:
