In this intriguing episode of the Bible Difficulties and Answers podcast, host Lance Smith delves into a thought-provoking question from Matthew 8:10: Did Jesus know everything? Engaging with verses that present Jesus as both omniscient and seemingly limited in knowledge, Lance navigates through the complexities of the hypostatic union—Jesus Christ as both God and man.
Using the New Living Translation as a guide, this episode explores contrasting biblical passages, providing fresh analogies and insights from scholars like Dr. William Lane Craig. Discover how early theologians resolved these apparent contradictions and what it means for understanding Jesus' divine and human nature.
Join the conversation as Lance examines the implications of Jesus' omniscience and human limitations, providing a deeper understanding of the gospel's heart. Whether you're a seasoned theologian or a curious scripture fan, this episode promises to enlighten and inspire.
