Yeshua was limited in knowledge. He claimed not to know everything.
“But no one knows about that day and hour, not the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father alone."
"Matthew 24:36 and Mark 13:32 are problematic for Trinitarians, who are forced to say that Jesus’ human side had limited knowledge and did not know the time of the events of the End, but his God nature had unlimited knowledge and did know the time. But there are huge problems with that assertion. One is that the Bible never says it was only Jesus’ human nature that did not know but his God nature did know. That is only assumed because it makes Trinitarian doctrine work. Furthermore, it cannot be explained how Jesus could have had both limited and unlimited knowledge at the same time. Theologians refer to it as communicatio idiomatum, but that is just Latin for “the communication of the properties,” and it does not explain how Jesus’ two natures could co-exist; it just assumes they do.
Trinitarians also assert that the two natures, God and man, existing simultaneously is a mystery, but again, the Bible never even says the two natures exist in Christ, much less that it is a mystery. About mysteries, Roger Olson wrote: “We must point out here the difference between mystery and contradiction; the former is something that cannot be fully explained to or comprehended by the human mind, whereas the latter is just nonsense—two concepts that cancel each other out and together make an absurdity.” Although Olson wrote about the mysteries of Calvinism, his comment about mysteries applies equally to the “mysteries” created by the doctrine of the Trinity. We assert that it is a clear contradiction that Jesus is both 100% God and 100% man." (REV Commentary)
But here is the loudest question for the honest man: If "only the Father alone knows the day nor the hour" does this not also limit the knowledge of the holy spirit? After all, is the holy spirit not the presumed third person of the Trinity, of the same essence and omnipresence?
The Trinity is a false doctrine not even mentioned until after 300 years of Christianity. It is not a mystery. It is a contradiction.
This is a pencil. It is also a banana. It is yellow and can be eaten. Is this a mystery or a contradiction? In any case, this proposition is an absurdity. So is the three-person but one God trinity doctrine.
Bonus question for the Orthodox Christian: Why is the holy spirit rarely, if ever, mentioned in the council debates? It's all about the nature of Yeshua and his shared essence with the Father. The holy spirit isn't mentioned or solidified as a part of the trinity doctrine until years after the Council of Nice. The 325 Nicean Creed simply states that the holy spirit is believed in. 80 years later, the creed was revised to clarify the fluid and innovative doctrine...and the Trinity Doctrine was born.
