When did Jesus know He was the son of God?

We may be expressing the same idea in different ways.

The mystery of the Incarnation creates a number of apparent paradoxes to our fallen and limited human minds.

That’s so true! I agree!

Yes I agree He always knew, but was His humanity always conscious of it before age 12? That, I think we’ll never know. If His humanity was always conscious of it and He had the human mind of a 2yr old when He was a toddler, how did He never in His human child mind never set something on fire when He had a temper tantrum? Or get mad at 1yr old and stop the sun from rising? LOL! He was 100% human with a human child’s mind as a toddler. I think a part of Him always knew, but that maybe He wasn’t consciously aware till He was mature enough to start to understand it like around 11 or 12yrs old. His divinity side might have deliberately blocked it out from His conscious mind the way people block out bad memories, till He was humanly mature enough to know and understand.

I think like you.

Was he always perfect or was his perfection perfected after the resurection?

OMG! You are over reacting! LOL! Just like He chose to not walk and talk at 2 months old, and chose not to reveal Himself to us till the right time, why couldn’t He choose not to let His human child mind be consciously aware of things till the right time? All I’m saying is that He was 100% human which is what you also agree with so I don’t understand why it upsets you to say He had a human child’s mind. Why can’t He have developed on the inside in His brain the same way He developed on the outside starting with a small child’s body? **I said He always knew He was God. **I don’t understand why saying He had a human child’s brain development the same way He had a human child’s body development scares you so much. To say His brain was not human and didn’t develop like a human child’s brain is to say He was **not **100% human but only human on the outside. That’s heretical proposition. If He was 100% human then his brain was human too from birth, period. If His brain wasn’t 100% human then **He **wasn’t 100% human.

Can a normal human child’s brain at 2yrs old comprehend the complexity of being God and human at the same time? No. Was Jesus 100% human? Yes. If He was 100% human then His brain was 100% human at 2yrs old and as an adult. That’s all I’m saying. If you’re saying His brain wasn’t like a human child’s brain then you are saying He wasn’t 100% human and that’s contrary to what the church teaches.

Awesome response. Thank u and God bless.
BTW and FYI. OMG is considered as disobeying the 3rd commandment.

Thanks!

I guess we could ask ourselves when we knew we were human.
Truthfully, we probably knew we were human long before we could clearly define and articulate what being human is.
