Friend, peace be with you and be still and know HE is LORD and GOD over all of us. Today everyone in Heaven and on earth cannot go to GOD directly. Only through JESUS the MESSIAH, who have been chosen and given the authority of being GOD Himself to all. To JESUS, HE is still subjected to GOD HIS FATHER, in all GOD allow and disallow only through HIM only and none other or ever.

So GOD in SPIRIT and invisible, HIS fullness and likeness is seen only in the physical person called JESUS, whom GOD Himself proclaimed to witnesses, as HIS only begotten SON, whom HE is well pleased with only. JESUS do not live for HIS own at all like us, even while here on earth, but in submission and obedience and fully to the will of GOD His FATHER.

Just a brief example from the Biblical story of Joseph and Pharaoh in Egypt. Even though Pharaoh was the ruler of Egypt, but Joseph was the only one allowed by the Pharaoh Himself to govern/rule the whole of Egypt and even the Egyptians. Because when the Egyptians went to Pharaoh regarding a matter, the Pharaoh instructed them to go and see Joseph. And the whole of Egypt gave the same honor that they gave Pharaoh and it was a decree.

i hope this helps in your sharing and GOD is not at all like any of HIS creation, for HE is their creator. HE is without any form and invisible. HE cannot directly speak to man, because remember what happen at Mount Sinai when HE spoke to the Israelite, that they fell in fear hearing HIS voice.

So JESUS is the perfect spirit man in the fullness and likeness of GOD and HIS will, made as the only representative of GOD and as GOD, to govern/rule over all creation.

Nice response.
I know that Jesus is not any sort of his creation. The Angel Gabriel giving the Virgin Mary what was to come proves that.
I could not answer when someone asked me why God did not know the day of his own return. When a non Christian is struggling with this passage. He wants to be a believer. Then Jesus lied, or the the Bible is not accurate and truthful come to his mind. One really wants to be helpful and have a good answer for them.

This does lead to some speculation on the Trinity. Separate yet One ? They all three are egual. But maybe they decided its the fathers decision of when Jesus returns. So this information was not given by the father to Jesus when he walked the earth. This seems like a fair answer to give in the future. Example!.. If you had three 4 star generals in one room.
All three are equal in power. yet they have different knowledge and personality.
