Jesus Confession, I AM Not Omnipotent?

Question

1. Jesus does not know of the Day of Judgment:

Matt 24:36 But of that day and hour no man know, not the angels which are in heaven, nor the son, but only the father.

2. Jesus does not have unlimited access to God's knowledge:

Mark 5: 25-32 When she heard about Jesus, she came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak, because she thought, If I just touch his clothes, I will be healed. Immediately her bleeding stopped and she felt in her body that she was freed from her suffering. At once Jesus realized that power had gone out from him. He turned around in the crowd and asked, Who touched my clothes? But Jesus kept looking around to see who had done it.

3. Jesus himself acknowledges that the Father is greater than himself and how he does not have the ability to access his father's resources:

Jon 14:28 My father is greater than I.

4. The following verses further prove how Jesus is unable to tap into all the powers of God:

Luke 6:12 One day Jesus went out to a mountainside to pray and spent the night praying to God.

Hebrews 5:7 During Jesus days on earth, he offered prayers and petitions with loud cries and tears to the one who could save him?

Matt 27:46 My God My God why hast thou forsaken me? Furthermore, if Jesus were God than why does he not say in this verse, Myself, Myself, why hast I forsaken Myself? Would not this be complete nonsense?

Answer 1

This is easy. He was not the son of God, but a Prophet. He was preaching of the power of God, but the words were changed to his father instead of his master.

Answer 2

Dear Biomimetic,

You have misunderstood the Scriptures--as most people do. To understand terms in the Bible one does not go to the Websters Dictionary! The Bible, God's word tells us how we are to understand the Scriptures. First, we must come to the Bible understanding that this is the word of God Almighty! God, the Lord Jesus Christ, is the author although He used various secretaries to write His words down. Take a look at Jeremiah 1:1-7 and Jeremiah 36. Second, we come to the Bible humbly, remembering that for us to understand anything correctly we need the Lord to teach us. Thirdly, we need to follow what the Lord states concerning studying the Scriptures--see 1 Corinthians 2:13. We need to compare spiritual things with spiritual things--that means looking up alot of Scriptures that contain the word or phrase we are working on. Fourth, we must remeber that Christ spoke in parables Mark 4:34. Not only when Christ mentions this is a parable but all throughout the Bible.
The term "know" has 2 different meanings. To know intellectuallly and (2) to experience. The Lord Jesus Christ knows everything! But in the case, before He went to the cross He had never experienced being under the wrath of God for eternity. That what was involved!! He was the only One who could endure the awful wrath of God and come out at the other end victorious. Incidently, Jesus tells us in John 10:30 that He and the Father are One.

Answer 3

Jesus the Christ, the Holy Spirit, and God the Father are three in one. The trinity is like the three forms of water: solid (ice), liquid (water), and vapor (steam). Three different forms of the same thing. However, only God the Father is omnipotent. He sent His Son in bodily form to die for mankind. Jesus bore all of the past, present and future sins on Himself, and since in God abhores evil, He had to forsake the human form of His Son for a time.
Jesus never claimed to be equal in any way to His Father, nor did He ever try to "tap" into God's power. In the example of the woman who touched Jesus' cloak, Jesus' power (which came from God) did not leave Him, it just went into the woman and healed her. And besides, Jesus knew who had touched Him, even though He asked. Did not God ask Adam where he was in the Garden of Eden? He knew.

Answer 4

If you were God, would you not ask yourself questions? I sure would. The other stuff is answered by reading the Church teachings about the inseprable divine and human natures of Jesus (ie his mind still had universal limitations, he had to grow up in a physical body just like any other man, etc.)

Answer 5

In Isaiah 9:6-7, it says, Unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given. And what is the name of this son? The "Mighty God" in the next verse.

JESUS CHRIST IS: "THE GOD ALMIGHTY"

Isaiah vs 6:
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

Answer 6

before everything, it is not basically Catholics (as you seem to think of) who use the Sacrament of Penance or "confession" as you call it. The Anglicans (Church of britain) and the Orthodox Church, Russian Greek, Oriental and so on all have this Sacrament. attempt analyzing the Gospels, the place Jesus supplies the education to his Apostles (from whom all authority is exceeded on interior the priesthood), that "for those whose sins you forgive, they're forgiven"). the purpose of this Sacrament is one among listening, offering propose and help and, in God's call and authority, absolve the sinner who's repentant.

Answer 7

I like what you are doing here, but not where you are going with it. Disproving the tenets of Christianity still does not prove the validity of Islam. We've been through this before.

Answer 8
