I believe that He had all knowlege,or much of what He says makes no sense. And I tend to think there are statements that don't make much sense if Jesus employed the full powers of omniscience and omnipotentence and omnipresence from His birth to His ascension.

But I don't think my salvation or yours hinges on this question. I don't think anyone has ever seen fully the true nature of the Trinity. Our minds just aren't capable of it. It's very easy in these matters to find yourself whistling along happily while skating on very thin ice.

Read John 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:..

That is current tense GW...Not I will know them I do know them.So IF you take this as a predestination quote...it indicates CURRENT knowlege. Yes, it is current tense. Completely consistent with what I was saying before. The scripture tells us that that God the Father foreknew and predestined us from the foundation of the world to come to Him through Christ. But this verse only indicates that Christ knows His own sheep now. Not that He (Christ) knew them prior to the foundation of the world. So thank you for helping prove my point.

Look at Luke 10:18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven

That along with many prophetic statements indicates to me that Jesus had perfect knowlege.. I don't think we can ever truly and fully reconcile the Godhead. And I'm content with what I know. Our Lord will correct me as needed.

Yes, I like the story of the woman grasping His hem too. It's a very special account. But it does give rise to a few questions that seem almost unknowable by scripture. And I am still content with that.

The woman who touched the hem of Jesus and was healed of her unclean disease was not a Jew.... she wasn't yet a sister of Jesus in the family of God. It marked a turning point in His ministry. I think it may have also stirred the prejudices of Judas Iscariot who feared that Jesus may not destroy the Gentiles, but welcome all believers into the fold. Even Peter would balk at such inclusion. This did not fit their preconceived notions of the Messiah's purpose on earth.
