Many people teach that Jesus is God, fact is he either is or isn't. So my question is, if Jesus is God then did he lie in these verses?:
Mr 10:40
But to
sit on my right
hand and on my left
hand is not mine to
give;
but it shall be given to them for
whom it is
prepared
Mr 13:32
But of that day and that
hour knoweth no
man, no,
not the
angels which are
in heaven, neither the
Son, but the
Father.
I do not believe Jesus lied, and likely you do not either, so how does one who believes Jesus is God, explain this?
First, you might specify by asking 'Is Jesus God the Father?' Trinitarians will simply say that Jesus is God because the Father, Son and HG are ALL God.
While the Son is in the flesh, He does not know
certain things to come. It is only after He has ascended that He can then, again, reunite with the Father and know all things to come.
Remember that God the Father remained outside of time and thus was capable of being two places at once. A difficult concept for us to fathom. The Father was outside of physical time and space
before, during and after indwelling the physical body of Christ. He is who Christ prayed to as an example to us of how to live righteously in God's Way.
The Matthew 10:40 verse shows Jesus referring to it as HIS right hand. In many other verses, Jesus is referred to AS God's right hand. The verse also strongly implies Him, Jesus, seated on THE throne.
When John sees his vision in Revelation, he sees only ONE in heaven upon the throne.
" ... behold, a throne set in heaven, and
One sat on the throne." Revelation 4:2
What happened to Jesus? Is He no longer significant? On the
mighty contrary.
Who sits on a throne? A king - not a prince.
If Jesus (the prince/the Son) has become the king, where has the Father gone?
Is it called the Wrath of Jesus, or the Wrath of God? Then why do we see Jesus delivering this Wrath?
"And I saw heaven opened and behold a white horse; and He that sat upon him was called Faithful and True (the Father is often referred to in scripture as being Faithful to all His promises and Jesus is the Truth), and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. ... and His name is called
the Word of God.(Jesus per John 1:1, 14)"
Revelation 19:11,13
"And (all) the armies which were in heaven followed Him (Jesus is the Lord of
Hosts [angel armies]) ... and He treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and Wrath of Almighty God (the Father). And He hath on His vesture and on His thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. (the Father/Jesus)
Revelation 19:14-16
There are countless other verses all throughout the Bible that use the same descriptions for the Father as for Jesus, and the same duties and actions for both, etc.
Another contrast of note is that many pagan religions over the millennia have held and worshiped multiple deities as their gods. Christianity is all about ONE Almighty God. The One and Only Creator.
One Savior, One Faith, One Truth.
John 10:30 "I and the Father are ONE."
