Jesus is Not God (Ventilacion): Bro. Duane Cartujano's Response Regarding Matthew 24:36

RESPONSE TO JOE VENTILACION AND TO ALL ANTI-TRINITARIANS REGARDING MATTHEW 24:36

If anti-Trinitarians understand Matthew 24:36 and Mark 13:32, they will conclude that Christ is not God since it is only the Father who knows the second coming of the Son since if 1 John 3:20 will be the basis to compare Matthew 24:36 or Mark 13:32, it will appear the Father is not God according to these 2 verses.

The following is written in Revelation 19:12-30:

"His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems; and he has a name inscribed that no one knows but himself. He is clothed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is called The Word of God."

Almost all scholars know Christ is being referred to in this verse and his name is called “the Word of God”.

If we follow the arguments of anti-Trinitarians, it will appear the Father is not God since only the Son knows some things and it is clearly written in the verse, “no one knows but himself”.

Another verse from the Old Testament says, “But the Lord God called to the man, and said to him, “Where are you?”(Genesis 3:9)

When Adam and Eve went into hiding, why did God ask Adam, “Where are you?”

If He knew all things. God should have said, “What are you doing there?”

We know that the Father did not mean where they were hiding unless we follow the illogical arguments of anti-Trinitarians using 1 John 3:20. It will appear the Father is not God as well.

Does Christ know all things?

This is what the Apostle Peter said:

“He said to him the third time, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” Peter felt hurt because he said to him the third time, “Do you love me?” And he said to him, “Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you.” Jesus said to him, “Feed my sheep.”(John 21:17)

It is clear that Apostle Peter told Christ, “Lord, you know everything”.

When Apostle Peter told Him “Lord, you know everything”, we will see that Christ did not rebuke Apostle Peter with his statement. Christ should have said, “You are wrong Peter since there are things that I do not know.”
