Do John 5:19, John 5:30, John 14:28, and Matthew 24:36-37 show Jesus is not God?


Matthew 24:36-37, Jesus says, "But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man." (NIV)

Addressing Matthew 24:36-37
- The reason that this does not disprove the Trinity is because Jesus describes this as a bridegroom getting married. In Jewish culture, the father of the son who is to be married is the one who announces the day on which the marriage is to take place, but the son still knows, but how?

- In Jewish culture, when a man wanted to marry a woman and her father approves, the man then goes back to his parent's house to build an addition for himself and his wife.

- This imagery is what is happening as we speak. When Jesus ascended to heaven after His death, burial, and resurrection, He has been "adding an addition" to His Kingdom for us (John 14:1-4)

- Additionally, if you read Matthew 24 as a whole chapter, Jesus is telling the disciples what will happen at the destruction of the temple and the end of the age. So to say that Jesus does not know the day or the hour, but Jesus in the same chapter is describing how the world will be during the end times does not add up.

-Therefore, it is not that Jesus does not know the day or the hour of His return, it is that  Jesus is the Son of the Father and it is for the Father to announce, resembling the Jewish wedding of the father of the bridegroom announcing when the marriage is to take place.
