Did Jesus understand our sufferings from time eternal?

[PJM]

=tsering;7568086]I think you’re starting to hit the nail on the head with these thoughts. Like I said before, this is an incarnation issue, going back to the debates regarding Jesus’ two natures. Granted, I too believe that in the Trinitarian dogma, we must believe that the Son shares the same nature as the Father - which includes omniscience.

I just want to get down and dirty about the seeming contradictions from verses like Phi 2:7, Mt 24:36.

I think we should start by exploring the term Hypostatic Union.

**Phil. 2:7-9 ** “but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form he humbled himself and became obedient unto death, even death on a cross. Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name which is above every name,”

Matt. 24:34-36 "Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away till all these things take place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.
“But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only.”

BOTH pasags are speaking about Christ Human Nature [not His sperate Divine Nature, from which nothing can be hid because of a SHARED Divine Nature.]

The authores desire is to clearly indicate that Jesus is BOTH a true human being; like us in EVERY way BUT sin; and Completely God is His divine Nature.

“Son of God” makes reference BOTH to Christ human nature [son] and the second person of the Trinity [God -Co-equal and Co-eternal] but identifed as “Son” for our sake, not God’s. The terms ar meant to be clairification for us.

God Bless,

Eureka! :extrahappy:

Maybe this article helps: Knowledge of Jesus Christ

What I meant was that for us humans it is a mystery how the divine and human nature operate together in Jesus.

Some mystics, in their ecstatic union with God, were given to understand mysteries such as the Trinity, but they were unable to explain or even understand the mystery after the ecstasy. So it is something we can understand only with God’s assistance.
