Does the Bible Teach Divine Ignorance? | Questions in the Crucible #1

Does the Bible portray Jesus as ignorant, and if so, what does that mean for His divinity and the doctrine of the Incarnation? In this episode of Questions in the Crucible, I take a commonly raised objection against the deity of Christ, strengthen it to its most serious form, and examine Scripture’s response exegetically, philosophically, and historically. Certain passages are often claimed to present Jesus as lacking omniscience, an essential attribute of God, and therefore unable to be truly and fully divine. Faith is not threatened by honest questions. But careless readings, philosophical assumptions, and selective skepticism can obscure what the Bible is actually saying. This discussion moves beyond surface-level prooftexts to address how Scripture consistently presents Jesus as fully God and fully man, and how apparent limitations in knowledge fit within that framework. This is not an attempt to rescue Scripture from difficulty, but an invitation to let the whole counsel of God refine our thinking. Let Scripture speak, and philosophy sit at its feet.
