Ok, if Jesus and God were 'one', as in, 'the same' as in Jesus IS God, then HOW is it possible that there are things that God knows that Christ DOES NOT? If they are 'one' then why would they need to communicate with 'each other'? And if NO MAN has EVER 'seen God', then HOW could Christ BE God? I have yet for a 'trinitarian' to offer an acceptable answer to these types of questions.
Hello Mec. Its me again, your favorite poster.
I can't resist answering this question, since its a very easy question to answer, and being that I am not the sharpest tool in the shed, wll it will be fun. The simple truth is that While Jesus was chilling here on earth for 33 years or so, he gave himself completely to his humanity, while still being God. So while he was here with us, he did not know the day or the hour of when he would return. Now that he is back at the right hand of the father, you bet he knows when he is coming back. You see Mec, the only way the Scritures make sense from the beginning to the end is via the Godhead or Trinity.

Free, and you call this a 'reasonable answer'? Firstly, this scripture states that Christ was 'in the 'form' of God'. I ask you this: WHAT IS the 'form' of God? You answer this and you will quickly see how confused you are in your interpretation. Second, this scripture PLAINLY states that Christ 'DID NOT count equality A THING TO BE GRASPED. Do you NOT see what this is saying. IT PLAINLY states that Christ REALIZED that 'equality' with God was NOT a thing to BE GRASPED. Unlike Satan, Christ is PERFECTLY content with 'His place'. And realizes that equality with God is NOT a thing to attempt to 'create'.

Another easy question. I seem to recall that Jg posted a thread on ''the angel of the Lord'' You have never answered who ''The Angel of the Lord'' is.
The Angel of the Lord is Jesus Christ in carnite. (GOD) I will see if I can find the thread for you.
No need to look up the thread, I remember the subject and the post to which you refer. I know what the two of you 'believe' so far as the 'angel of the Lord' is concerned. Whether it was actually Christ or not is debatable and of NO consequence so far as 'trinity' is concerned. That Christ existed BEFORE being 'born in the flesh' is WITHOUT DOUBT. Now, to your 'answer'.
Nice try. So, from 'your' perspective, Christ, (God), became flesh. He stated that what He had to offer us so far as The Word is concerned, was GIVEN Him by The Father, (God, in essence HIMSELF), yet He WAS God. And by 'taking on the flesh', He stoped being God and became a 'man' instead? A man that needed to pray 'to Himself' in order to gain strength and to seek the forgiveness FROM His Father for those that crucified Him. Yet the forgiveness actually came from God who was Jesus so He really didn't need to ask Himself to forgive them? Am I getting any of this 'right'?
The scripture that was offered PLAINLY stated that Christ was IN THE FORM OF GOD, (that would be spirit, right), and did NOT think it FIT to 'pretend' to be equal with God. Isn't that what it really states? But He DID leave the 'form' of God, (spiritual realm), and become flesh, (part God and part man). Yet the part that was God didn't KNOW what God knows. Your explanation makes NO sense whatsoever for the simple FACT that Christ EXHIBITED the power 'given' Him BY THE FATHER, (God), OVER AND OVER AGAIN. He gave us MUCH prophecy concerning the future. Yet you say that when He became man that there were certain 'limitations' to God. ??????? You 'can't' be serious. Can't you see what this doctrine forces one to say at times. Things that DO NOT FIT, no matter HOW HARD you 'try'.
Nice try though. Jesus stated without confusion that the answer to His return was ONLY KNOWN BY THE FATHER, (God), yet your 'trinity' insists that Christ WAS God, yet this would make Christ's statements a 'contradiction' of your 'man-made' doctrine, so you make up something like the answer that you offered which CANNOT fit when broken down through observation and comparing scripture. Seems like some sort of 'double talk' when listening to such answers concerning this 'trinity'. And you know, God Himself will offer 'strong delusion to those that choose to follow that which is NOT True. I choose NO DELUSION, only what is offered through scripture and through The Spirit. And because of this, there are those that have 'bought into' this 'man-made' theology and accuse ME of being the one that is 'making stuff up'. How strange indeed.
