Trinitarianism certainly has these problems.
How can the Son not know as much as the Father in Matthew 24:36; Mark 13:32?
Does the Father know something that the Son and Holy Spirit does not know?
How can they be co-equal? Only God knows the day and hour of the Second Coming of Christ in Mark 13:32.
To answer this question, We must know whom Christ and the early Christians recognized and taught as the true God.
How many gods does God say there are? Scriptures that show there is only one God and it is written,
"Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me." Isa 46:9
God is not shy to say "I am God" and if Jesus is God, then how come Jesus never said it once like the God of the Old Testament?
The Lord has already gave us this warning and it is written,
"Be not carried about with various and strange doctrines" Hebrews 13:9, and "believe not every spirit, but test the spirits whether they are of God or not." John 4:1
When the Catholic and Orthodox Trinity God doctines was accepted by the people, The Beast doctrine is accepted and polytheism is thier faith.
One who is Polytheistic believes that there more than one divine God. The Great apostate pagan trinity doctrine or polytheism came from Babylon.
Keep in mind, If your beliefs concerning Jesus Christ is not right, then your faith is wrong.

God is awesome. Jesus was in heaven with God, and a plan was made to save the human race, and Jesus volunteered. He came to save man, and do exactly what His father told Him to do. He was the one that fought in heaven and kicked satan out. He came to be born from a virgin, to show us how to live according to God's way. The only human being on this earth that did not commit any sin. God did not think it to be robbery for Jesus to call Himself God, because He is also God, but while He was among us, He was a mire human man, but He knew His position as a young boy, to be about His Father's business. The Holy Spirit is the life you have in you. Once your soul leaves you, it goes back to God who breathed the breath of life into man. Therefore, Jesus as a mire man did not know the hour at that time of His return to this earth.

Jesus, the Son of Man didn't know. That is the human part of Him. In His diety side, He knows. But then it is also dependent on how soon the word of God & Gospel of Gods Saving Grace gets published and printed everywhere.
I believe it is complicated for our understanding and Jesus didn't want people to not be ready. Be ready. Also, we don't know when we will die either.

That is a Valid Question that has been asked Even by Christians!
As GOD, He did not have humanity, but As JESUS, He did as it is written!
(Matthew 8:17) so that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying, "He took on Himself our weaknesses and bore our sicknesses."
(1Corinthians 5:7) Therefore purge out the old leaven so that you may be a new lump, as you are unleavened. For also Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us.
Christ took on Himself HUMAN FORM as a Perfect Man, A Perfect PASSOVER SACRIFICE for all of Mankind!
As Man, HE did not know the time of His Return for He had not fulfilled His SACRIFICIAL ROLL, AND DIE FOR OUR SINS!
Hope that helps?
Thanks, RR

He does know but it's only for God to reveal. Another words, it wasn't for Jesus to tell us when he was going to return. He came to save us and to tell us to get ready. If he told us when he is coming back, people would do whatever they want until the very day that he returns.

Jesus is not God, he's the Son of God, and he left the time of his return up to his father. Jesus wasn't as confident about what he was doing as the bible makes him seem.
Or maybe he knew and didn't tell us. 'Cause he's sneaky like that.

There forces at work in Creation. Our Creator can reach right through them. But our bodies couldn't take the shock.
Like the Word says, we can discern the sky and the rain, but act like children concerning the signs of the Heavens. That is why there are periods of communication from other realms, and UFO flaps, (times of a lot of activity, times of little).
There will be major complications occuring on many levels in the coming times. And the Powers of Heaven will strike when the Time is Right!

Jesus isn't god... he was a man, nothing more.
He believed that the Apocalypse was going to happen in his lifetime. He never even claimed to be the one that would bring the Apocalypse to fruition. His role (as he saw it) was to warn the people of his time about the coming kingdom so that they may repent and inherit it... He had no plans whatsoever to have his message carried for as long as it has been. In his eyes, we shouldn't even exist because he believed the Apocalypse would be upon the earth in less than 100 years.

If you're referring to the passages of the New Testament indicating that he expected to return in his desciples' lifetime, that's a pretty good question. Some would say that it's the whole "Easter story" thing that he's talking about. Others think that his alarm clock must have malfunctioned. Who's to say?
