⇛ "But of that day and hour no one knows, NOT EVEN the angels of heaven, NOR the Son, but the Father only." Matthew 24:36
⇛ "But of that day or that hour no one knows, NOT EVEN the angels in heaven, NOR the Son, but only the Father." Mark 13:32
The text does not directly mention the Holy Spirit, but the indication is clear that it includes the Holy Spirit, who possesses the same nature as the “angels in heaven”. The Greek word for “spirit” is pneuma, the Hebrew translation is ruach.
The Greek translation of the Old Testament known as LXX renders the following context:
Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind:
Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire:
⇛ Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever. (Psalms 104:3-5)
⇛ Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation? (Hebrews 1:14)
The word spirit is applied to angels; therefore the Holy Spirit is categorically an angel because he is also Spirit. We know the Gospel of John applies the Greek word to God (4:24), it simply means that God is the Highest of the spirits (angels), the Creator of the angels, but does not mean God is an angel, or that angels share in His divinity.
❑ The Jews worshipped the Canaanite god Baal, but they still acknowledged the Sovereignty of Yahweh.
❑ The pagan Arabs worshipped Allah as the Highest God, but they also worshipped 360 false gods.
❑ Similarly, the Christians today worship “inter-mediators” between God and men, a sheer falsehood and physical blasphemy.
⇛ The Bible attributes the word pneuma to human beings (Numbers 16:22, 27:16), it basically refers to the “soul” which God Himself breathes into human beings (Psalms 104:30, Ecclesiastes 12:7)
▣ Jesus included himself by saying “neither the Son”, which also includes the Holy Spirit because, according to the Gospels, Jesus is supposed to be “filled with the Holy Spirit”, implying that his limited knowledge is part of the Holy Spirit, therefore the latter also limited (in knowledge) did not know the day.
⇛ Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles. (Isaiah 42:1)
⇛ And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, (Luke 4:1, KJV)
Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit in the desert, (NIV)
Despite the fact that many other characters were “filled with the Holy Spirit”, they are not considered divine personages, Jesus is regarded as “God incarnate” and “second person of the trinity” according to the Nicene Creed, yet he was not omniscient but filled with the Holy Spirit, this implies the Holy Spirit possesses the same nature as Jesus, because they are both supposed to be one. The Apostolic Creed does not include the trinity, it teaches the Oneness of God that would later be distorted by the Nicene Creed, signed by emperor Constantine in 325 CE.
The 12 disciples never preached the concept of trinity, the early Christian gospel known as the Didache (97 CE) contradicts the trinity and teaches the Oneness of God.
Jesus did include the Holy Spirit when he said “not even the angels of heaven” (Matthew 24:36) because the Holy Spirit is the Angel of the Old Testament. The Bible speaks of angels as “spirits” therefore the Holy Spirit is an angel. We shall discuss this below.
The Holy Spirit is not All-knowing because only God is All-knowing; the New Testament implicatively abolishes the trinity when Jesus distinguished the Holy Spirit:
⇛ And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven. (Luke 12:10)
According to these verse, the Holy Spirit is superior to Jesus, whatever sins against the Holy Spirit cannot be forgiven, whereas sins against Jesus can be forgiven
▣ The Bible rejects the trinity, it clearly says there is no god besides God, there is nothing equal to God.
⇛ "To whom will you compare me? Or who is my equal?" says the Holy One. (Isaiah 40:25)
⇛ I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me: (Isaiah 45:5)
⇛ I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour. (Isaiah 43:11)
⇛ Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared it? ye are even my witnesses. Is there a God beside me? yea, there is no God; I know not any. (Isaiah 44:8)
⇛ Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me, (Isaiah 46:9)
⇛ Yet I am the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt, and thou shalt know no god but me: for there is no saviour beside me. (Hosea 13:4)
