In the Gospel according to Mark 13:32 "But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father". (Mark 13:32)
God knew the time of the day of judgment, this was something that even Jesus did not know. This shows that by God knowing something that Jesus didn't, they did not share the same intellect. The knowledge of the unseen is divine qualities, and the one who does not know the unseen, obviously cannot be divine. Jesus was explicitly saying that understand I am a human, I do not know everything, only the creator knows.

======================
, if someone thinks that Jesus the man did not know, then he is missing a point that according to Christians, Jesus was 100% man and 100% God in one body. It means, Jesus possessed the same intellect of God and man. If he had the same intellect then he should have same knowledge. But when we read the text it says only the father knows. This means that even the "DIVINE JESUS" doesn't know. This means that no one else knows including the divine Jesus. Therefore, Jesus lacks being All-knowing. and we know that God is All-knowing, hence, Jesus cannot be God.

And if, as some suggest, the Son was limited by his human nature from knowing, the question remains, Why did the Holy Spirit not know?

Jesus was a prophet of God. the early followers of jesus were unitarian. the trinity developed later once early christianity had been influenced by greek and roman methology.
Jesus prayed to God in the bible. He also fasted. these are acts of worship. God does not worship anyone. Jesus was a great prophet and messenger of God, but NOT God or his 'son'.
From the bible it is evident that the Father is far superior to the 'son'. Jesus when asked the most important commandment said worship God. If the trinity were true he would have said worship me for I am God. However the trinity is a man made concept that NONE of the other prophets talked of.
The christian God is the God of the Torah. Any Jew will tell you that there is NO WAY that the God of the Torah/ Old testament could be a man.
Paul is largely responsible for this. He took it upon himself to preach about Jesus, even though he never met him. the gospels are written by people who never met jesus. the earliest 70 years after jesus. The latest (johns) estimated by christian scholars to be written over 100years after jesus

Any human son has no legal right to the bank account number of the father, but when the father dies the right becomes his. I'm not saying God'll die it's just an example. Jesus is a Part of God. (The egg shell is not edible, but it's still part of the egg. You can't have an egg without the shell). Jesus is not God per se, but He is Lord over everything on earth. God gave Him that authority. He was there when (& before) everything was created. He is an eternal being, able to know all things. The Day of Judgement is God's ultimate plan. Jesus KNEW He'll die & be resurrected to life, because He was going to take the form of a mortal. The Kingdom of God, as we speak is in full anticipation of the End, making preparation for Jesus to take control of the world. It'll be much better for you to join the fold waiting for His return to take those who accept Him as Lord God to Heaven.

First of all, don't lump everyone together, being a believr in God, we are all christians, but, not all believe the same thing. Jesus Christ was the SON OF GOD, when he walked the earth he was borne of a human mother. You are just trying to pick apart the Bible, God an Christianity, why? You are just having fun, please continue, but, that doesnot mean christians have to be aggravated or even bash back at you. Enjoy your silly childish games, maybe one day you'll outgrow this immature need to bash something you do not believe or understand. Until then, May God Bless You, you will be in our prayers.

Wow, all that to come to a fundamental truth of christianity which most of us learned as kids in bible study. Jesus was a man, the son of God. Not God. We sometimes say Father, Son, Holy Ghost too... that doesn't mean we think casper is real... You seem to really be interested in this topic, why not go to a church and find your answers there?

Well, you've got a good point I think. Who keeps saying that Jesus was God to begin with?? Jesus is the Son of God, the Son of God isn't God. "Sent His only begotten Son..." etc, etc... If one is to argue that this is contradictory, well, they have a point as well. The whole Book is contradicting, but I can still believe that God Himself did not incarnate here. That was a Son of God.

Jesus knew what God knew as God informed him. The Holy Spirit came after Christ's crucifixion - in Acts.

This seems to be a real problem.
When I get to heaven I will ask Jesus to tell me exactly what he meant.
Where will you be staying?

Jesus wasn't God nor did he ever claim to be.
The Gospels are mostly a big con written by people who never knew Jesus, long after he was dead. Jesu's supposed divinity was invented by Paul of Tarsus as a good scam to get a fee lunch

If you start dissecting the Bible, you are in for some serious disillusionment if you are a Christian...your belief will fall apart within a few weeks. Contradicts itself everywhere you turn.

Jesus knows that you are a silly little Mooslim boy that can't find a date so he comes on here whining about Jesus. Life: get one.
