In the two previous articles (Is It from Abraham—to Isaac—to Jesus Christ?

Our Lord Jesus Christ Didn’t Know the Day and Hour? (Series #8)

ALViN — Fri, 19 Aug 2011 05:09:54 +0000

I say “presumptuous” because (a) revealing the specific day and hour was not a practice of God and the prophets since the time of Adam, (b) Christ […]

This is our #7 in the series of this lesson on Mark 12:33 on the alleged lack of knowledge of the day and hour of Jerusalem’s destruction and the second coming of Christ.

Because of Matt. 24:36 & Mark 13:32 where our Lord said, “But of that day and hour no one knows, neither the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father” some students of the Bible ask this questions: “If Christ is God and God knows everything, why is it that Christ doesn’t know […]

OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST DIDN’T KNOW HIS COMING? (Series 5)

ALViN — Thu, 16 Jun 2011 09:31:45 +0000

Because of Christ’s statement in Matthew 24:36 and Mark 13:32 that the Son of Man didn’t know the hour and day of the destruction of Jerusalem and his coming back, some pose the question, “If Christ is God, why didn’t he know the hour and day yet we say that God knows everything? Doesn’t this […]
