Why doesn't the Holy Spirit know the day and hour of Jesus return?

everytime you talk about the trinity to born-again christians and bring up the verse where it says of the day and hour only the father knows they will immediately say jesus was in his "human nature" that is why he does not know.

but my question is why don't the holy spirit know the day and hour?

is the holy spirit in human nature as well?

Who Is The Agency that fulfills the Lord's will upon the earth
by descmh in

2. bible
i am speaking with a wonderful person about the jehovah's witnesses and she has asked myself and my wife who we think the "agency" that fulfills the lord's will upon the earth is.

my question is, do the jehovah's witnesses think that their watchtower organization is this "agency" or is it christ's church on the earth.

furthermore, where is the scripture reference that this is taken from.

my only extensive experience of organized religion was the jehovah's witnesses.

my imprisonment in that sect was mercifully brief.

however, my experience with the "borned agin" crowd is very extensive.

When was Jesus Christ Created?
by renando_stimpy in

2. bible
i was thinking about this today and was wondering what the wts has to say about such things ?.

isaiah 43:10 : ... before me no god was formed nor will there be one after me.... john 1:1 (nwt): ... the word was a god .... john 1:2 : ... he was with god in the beginning .... if no god would ever be formed before and no god would be formed after, when was jesus christ ( a mighty god - isa 9:6 ) formed ?

i think the bible makes itself quite clear regarding time, first and last, alpha and omega, beginning and end, before and after, morning and evening etc.. so i would think that saying god is not within a form of time albiet a different time to ours (days = years) wouldn't hold water when compared to the scriptures... rev 1:17 - ... do not be afraid.

2. bible
first of all want to thank you all for informing me of the good the bad and smurfly about jws - i was so stoked when these two sister's knocked on my door.

i apologise now - i was a smug git - in fairness they conducted themselves impeccably in the face of me.

this is how it went (paraphrased to highlight 'clever' bits i said and downplay swathes of conversation when i said silly things.

i greet everyone, .

there are some questions that i want to ask you all, and would really be very thankful if there comes out someone to respond it purely.

1- adultery [even looking lust for a woman (naturally for a woman to look lust for man)] is forbidden by lord, and jesus came to fulfil the law, and also in deuteronomy from 18th to 25th chapter, this sin and the punishment to it is being explained very briefly, now why many of those people who attribute themselves to the lord christ are completely in a adultery shaped life?
