IT NEVER SINKS INTO THE MINDS OF MANALISTAS THE FACT THAT GOD HAD TO BE IN A MORTAL HUMAN BODY. JESUS IS BOTH GOD AND MAN.
Mark 13:32 (NIV)
"No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
When Jesus said that even he did not know the time of the end, he was affirming his humanity. Of course God the Father knows the time, and Jesus and the Father are one. But when Jesus became a man, he voluntarily gave up the unlimited use of his divine attributes. In fact, God putting Himself in a mortal body is the very act of love He wanted to demonstrate by subjecting Himself to the human body's limitations-- to suffer and to die and to waive eternal knowledge. All these limitations that He had subjected Himself to are for the benefit of mankind.
Philip. 2:5-10
Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: [6] Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: [7] But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: [8] And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. [9] Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: [10] That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
JUST IMAGINE IF JESUS KNEW THE HOUR OF THE PASSING OF EARTH AND HEAVENS HE WOULD BE COMPELLED TO REVEAL WHAT SHOULD NOT BE REVEALED, MUCH LESS FOR HIM TO LIE ABOUT IT.
