So you say that Jesus is God and was a man but still God...Right? So if he is God why doesn't he know all as God should as with the scripture Rajj is asking you to explain, and not jump away from as you always do when you know it conflicts with the trinity?
In
Isaiah 9:6 a little child who was nine months in the womb of a woman, connected to her with an umbilical cord, who came out of her vigina, and probably fed on her breasts, grew, and lived a human life like you and I, was called
"Mighty God".
Jehovah is the Mighty God
(Jeremiah 32:18) -
"O great and mighty God whose name is Jehovah"
In the same prophecy a Son was given, a son at the end of generations of men going back to the first man Adam - dusty men, imperfect men, even sinful men, men who grew old and died - and yet this Son is called
"Eternal Father".
And you ask me, how could He be God and not know, or be surprised, or marvel, or be tired, or feel pain, or suffer, or cry out, or say "My God, My God, why have you Forsaken Me ?"[/b]
You challenge me. Where is the rational? How?
I would reply
"Is anything too hard for Jehovah?"
This is the incarnation. This is the Word Who was with God and Who was God became flesh
"and tabernacled among us."
If you cannot bear the shame of believing what the word of God says then save face and don't believe it.
By God's sheer mercy, I am willing to let the foolishness of God be wiser than the wisdom of men.
You go ahead and follow Russell and Arius. If you think it will make it easier on your cerebrum to make Jesus the first created angel, you go ahead and believe that.
This thread I had intended to reserve for samples of the writing of others, in many cases more educated and learned than any of us at this forum.
Hermann Witsius (A.D. 1636 - 1708)
"From this incomprehensible mystery, which surpasses all sense and reason, we learn that we must renounce our own wisdom in divine matters, and reduce every thought into captivity to the obedience of faith. No one is prepared to form right views of this mystery who has not risen above the low sphere of the senses and human reasoning and soared to the sublimer region of faith, where, relying on God's own testimony respecting Himself, he believes what he is able neither to see with his eyes, nor comprehend with his mind - stopping at that precise point, beyond which divine revelation doth not conduct him."
