Because you just don't want to commit and lack heart faith in the Resurrection?

The thief on the cross who Jesus assured him paradise, called Jesus Lord. Also it is written that whosoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Also God has highly exalted him with a name above all, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow and tongue confess Jesus Christ is Lord.
Also, whosoever confess Jesus Christ Lord and believe in ones heart the resurrection shall be saved.
All these are written in the bible.

You know that you aren't a born again Christian if you haven't confessed Jesus Christ your Lord and believed in you heart He shed His own blood to redeem you and raised form the dead in victory. Confessing Jesus Christ Lord is committment. God looks at the honest heart confessing to God ones faith in God.

When Jesus prayed to God He called Him Father. As an example for us when we are born of God.
When Jesus was on the cross and cried out, "El, El, Why has thou forsaken me?!". God in the Old Testament is usually written Elohim, plural of El. When Jesus bore our sins on the cross Elohim broke for us.

Yes I believe in the Trinity. Jesus came from heaven to earth. He did His ministry after He was honored at his water baptism by Father God (Voice from the sky) & filled with the Holy Spirit (form of a Dove), led into the wilderness to be temted of the devil (like the 1st Adam who sinned) and overcame the devils deception in His humanity. The new reality is that the Word of God put on humanity and dwelt among us. The human part operated in the power of the Holy Ghost (an example for us).

Jesus is the human part of the Word part of the Trinity; Father, Word & Holy Spirit.
The question on why the Holy Spirit didn't let Jesus in His humanity explain the day and hour of His return. Only the Heavenly Father who is Greater knows. Jesus could have got the info, but maby it would be too complicated for us to understand (as humans) and maybe do more harm than good. Also, the devil was listening. Basically the God the Father, Word & Holy Spirit didn't want us to know, nor the devil to know. And maybe the first resurrection is at different times for different people.

Jesus Christ the Trinity ?
or
Jesus Christ the son of God?
just a little thought on the Trinity
mark:13:32 RS of that day or that hour no ones knows not even the angels in heaven nor the son but only the father"
i see with you in your own words called the Father greater...so what is the Trinity to you? How can one be greater at the same time equal to the others?
(of course that would not be the case if Father Son and Holy Spirit were coequal comprising one Godhead. 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?
Matt. 12:31,32
Every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men but the blasphemy against the spirit will not be forgiven and whoever says a word against the son of man will be forgiven but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven either in this age or in the age to come.
(if the Holy Spirit were a person and were God this text would flatly contradict the Trinity doctrine because it would mean that in some way the Holy Spirit was greater than the Son. Instead what Jesus said shows that the Father to whom the Spirit belonged is grater than Jesus the son of man.
my question wasnt why the God or the Holy Spirit didnt let Jesus no. It was why the Holy Spirit didnt know when as the scrip. said "of that day or that hour NO one knows not even the angels in heaven Nor the son but ONLY the father....."
and wouldnt one think that if the Trinity was true that it would have been some thing Jesus talked about when he was on earth...

Really. It is too bad the you lack the knowledge of the scriptures especially in Hebrew or Greek to justify your question. Moreover, the Resurrection requires no commitment or faith, it is a hope. Jesus is the first born of the dead.
Next time you pose an answer, make sure you have the knowledge.

There are many true forms of christianity. Your limited, narrow version is the type that turns people away from god in droves.

You don't have to believe to be a Christian. You call yourself Christian, you're Christian. Other people will believe it. I believe. I don't label beliefs. I believe em'.
