God 'changed his mind'

It's good to see God's truth in our life but also difficult at the same time because of our preconceive ideas of who God is and what God is doing.
It's difficult to understand a perfect God from an imperfect mind guess that's why scripture says to have the mind of Christ.

Let me add this to your list Rick!
1 Corinthians 13:12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known
rick:
Largeli, I don’t know the answer to your question. I know Christ is the express image of God. Jesus did say that only the Father knows when He, Jesus will return indicating that Jesus does not know all that the Father knows.
I personally don’t believe that any of God’s creation will be equal in knowledge with God, how is it possible to fully comprehend the wisdom and understanding of God? Who can search the depth of God ?
Without the mind of Christ how can one even start to comprehend God ? I don’t believe one just receives the mind of Christ either, it’s a process. As God inspires us to study and as we learn we start to put on or receive the mind of Christ. :)

Hi Alex,
1 Corinthians 13:12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
That scripture is referring to the relationship of knowledge between Christ and the believers but not of God the Father.
If I’m allowed by God to understand all the truths here at B.T. , that would be something else for me as I remember where I come from although I’m still at the bottom and deem myself the least of all God’s creation.
I’m waiting for my redemption to come when I will be perfect even as God is perfect an sin becomes a thing of the past. :)

I and Father are one. John 10:30 (Note, Jesus refers to Himself first.)
As a human, Jesus did not possess all knowledge. But after His resurrection, Jesus said He had all power in heaven and earth.
Kat:
John, what knowledge do you think Christ Jesus did not have? I do not even understand that way of thinking.
Col 2:9 For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily;
He was God even while He was in the flesh on earth and certainly retained the knowledge of God... He knew He was the great I AM (John 8:58).
John 14:6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
He declared He was "the truth"... what knowledge is lacking in The Truth?
Mat 11:27 All things have been delivered to Me by My Father...
Christ made this statement well before His crucifixion, He always retained His knowledge and His power in the flesh, He did work many miracles. Even as a 12 year old boy He stunned the teachers in the Temple with His knowledge (Luke 2). He never lost His memory and retained His mind as God. But after His resurrection He did state "all authority" was given Him.
Mat 28:18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.
He obtained all authority by His sacrifice "the blood of sprinkling" to become the Mediator and High Priest.
Heb 8:6 But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, inasmuch as He is also Mediator of a better covenant,
Heb 12:24 to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel.
Heb 2:17 Therefore, in all things He had to be made like His brethren, that He might be a merciful and faithful High Priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people.
v. 18 18 For in that He Himself has suffered, being tempted, He is able to aid those who are tempted.
mercy, peace and love
