Jesus: A Know-It-All? (How Jesus Is Not God by the Standards of Christian Apologetics)

  A quick look at an example of how Christian apologetics ignores and even undermines the scriptures upon which Christianity is purported to be based. The New Testament plainly and unqualifiedly says--in the voice of Jesus, no less--that God the Father has unique knowledge vis-a-vis precisely when Jesus will return, that this knowledge is available to no one else. "The Father ALONE" knows; no one else knows (Mt 24:36, cf Mk 13:32). If, as the New Testament plainly and unqualifiedly claims, God the Father's knowledge is unique here, then necessarily as a biblical matter Jesus cannot be omniscient (nor can the? Holy Spirit be omniscient, for that matter), which, by the apologists' own standards, means Jesus is not God.

  The Word came to earth and lowered himself to "a little below the angels". Hebrews 2:7

  After his resurrection his was exalted.

  Philippians 2:9-11 – Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the father.

  Jw's make this mistake over and over again.

  A related mistake that JW's make... the disciples got things wrong until the Holy Spirit came.

  The WTS points to mistakes that the disciples made to show that it's alright for them (the GB) to make mistakes.

  But all of those mistakes were before the Spirit came to them.

  John 16:13 But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come.

  Peace
