The trinity doctrine does not make sense. If the trinity is true, then the whole godhead would know everything, not just one part of it.
Why would all the God-inspired Bible writers speak of God as one person if he were actually three persons? What purpose would that serve, except to mislead people? Surely, if God were composed of three persons, he would have had his Bible writers make it abundantly clear so that there could be no doubt about it. At least the writers of the Christian Greek Scriptures who had personal contact with God's own Son would have done so. But they did not.
Instead, what the Bible writers did make abundantly clear is that God is one Person—a unique, unpartitioned Being who has no equal: "I am Jehovah, and there is no one else. With the exception of me there is no God." (Isaiah 45:5) "You, whose name is Jehovah, you alone are the Most High over all the earth."—Psalm 83:18

There are multiple purposes for Jesus not having all the knowlege that the Father had while Jesus was in His fallible body.
His purpose here was to - - -
1. Display the love that the Godhead had for mankind.
2. To fulfill the 365 prophesies of the Old Testament.
3. To let His blood flow [like the animal sacrifices of the Old Testament] for all of those who would repent and those who operate from an honest conscience who never heard of Him.
The Father elected not to give Him all His previous capabilities and powers but enough to get the Father's and His message He was to deliver while He was here. He had the power to call the angels here to rescue Him before the cross but became OBEDIENT ONTO DEATH to fulfill the Father's plan. What an example,eh.
However this may not be the best answer for you. You will have to ask for the better answer when you get there yourself. I only have a smaller glimmer of the complete truth.

Godhead in this verse is more correctly translated as "diety".
How is it that one Diety could keep information from the other two Dieties, since each Diety is neither greater nor lesser than the others...? (I know, from a Christian standpoint it makes no sense, but that is basicly the question you asked).

The Son, the Second Person of the Trinity
was eternally God, fully God.
When He became Incarnate (took upon Himself a body of flesh)
then He became fully human as well as fully God.
In so doing, it seems He temporarily laid aside some of His prerogatives as God, so that He could live and function as a Human, though as one without sin.
Before the Crucifixion, while still not using his prerogatives as God, He could say that not even the Son but the Father only knew this [though elsewhere it does say that He knew what was in men]. So it seems that it was some specific areas of knowledge that were limited; BUT after the Resurrection He then says "It is NOT for you to know ....". He does not then say that He doesn't know.
================
And it is NOT three Godheads. There is ONE God. He has revealed that He is eternally existent as three "persons". Three "persons" in the "Godhead".

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.
The emphasis of this verse is not on Jesus' lack of knowledge, but rather on the fact that no one knows. It is God the Father's secret to be revealed when he wills. No one can predict by Scripture or science the exact day of Jeusus' return. Jesus is teaching that preparation, not calculation is needed.

This is just one Scripture that disproves the "trinity" this is the greatest "lie" that Satan uses to keep people from knowing the one and only True God.
At the Church council at Nicaea in 325 C.E., one supporter of the belief that Jesus had existed eternally struck in the face a Church delegate who did not accept this newly framed concept. It was at this council that Emperor Constantine ruled in favor of this view, making possible its adoption by the Church. Did your church ever tell you that Constantine was, at the time, an unbaptized pagan who murdered his son, his second wife and several others of his relatives? This is a historical fact.
Also, has your church ever told you that Christian believers in the Bible opposed the Trinity doctrine? These early Bible believers would quote Mark 13:32, which says, “Of that day or that hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.” They would ask: ‘How can the Father and Son be of one substance yet the Father know things of which the Son is ignorant?’ The framers of the Trinity, historians tell us, were completely helpless when confronted with this scripture.
"here are other scriptures that will blend in with Mark 13:32
As a son, Jesus ascribed superior authority, knowledge and greatness to his Father. He stated: “This sitting down at my right hand and at my left is not mine to give, but it belongs to those for whom it has been prepared by my Father.” (Matt. 20:23) “Why do you call me good? Nobody is good, except one, God.” (Mark 10:18) “The Father is greater than I am.” (John 14:28) Jesus acknowledged his Father as his God. Just before his death he cried out: “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” (Matt. 27:46) Then, after his resurrection, he told Mary Magdalene: “I am ascending to my Father and your Father and to my God and your God.” (John 20:17) Finally, in a revelation to the apostle John, Jesus Christ identified himself as the first of God’s creations, saying: “These are the things that the Amen says, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation by God.”
The testimony of Jesus Christ respecting himself while on earth reveals that he was not just a wise man nor was he God in the flesh, but he was the perfect human Son of God. The record concerning Jesus’ words and deeds served to establish this truth. Wrote the apostle John: “Jesus performed many other signs also before the disciples, which are not written down in this scroll. But these have been written down that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ the Son of God, and that, because of believing, you may have life by means of his name.”

Philippians 2:5-8 "... Christ Jesus, 6 who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7 but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.
When Christ emptied Himself of the glories of Heaven, one of the things He left with the Father was control of eternity, and all knowledge.
Worse, Jesus "... did not do many miracles there because of their unbelief." Matthew 13:58 Jesus was limited by people's lack of faith! Omnipotent God, limited by mere humans? YES, because to do otherwise would be to force things the people would not freely chose. They would no longer be free to believe or disbelieve, to obey or to sin.

I have no idea what you mean. But maybe I can help.
The trinity has always existed. The trinity is formed from triunis(the root maybe slightly different) meaning "three-in-one) which is three manifestations in one. There is one Godhead(God the Father, who created everything, therefore his own three manifestations).

Hi
tough one here.
Id say its like having 100gallons of gas in your car.
You KNOW the end result of where/how far/distance etc..and that the 100g is exactly enough. SO....
You know where to begin (cross) and end (eternity) but You have not LOOKED AT THE MAP YET....that is it is step by step.
Like our christian walk.
We DO KNOW THE FINAL OUTCOME, AND ARE HERE NOW.
HOWEVER........We do not even know about tomorrow.
**All I could say for now is that is is revealing the humanity of Jesus though being fully God.
I could have the answers to the test, or just take the test and PROVE MY CLAIMS ARE TRUE.
GODS WORD(OLD TESTAMENT) FULLFILLED IN THE (NEW TESTAMENT).
ALL FOR NOW, GODBLESS.
IJOHN 5:7.....The Father/Word(bible/Jesus),HolyGhost-these 3 are 1.

Great question. There is no trinity. It is a Church teaching, not a Bible teaching. Obviously any Church that teaches it is not based on the truth of the Bible. Find another one.
