>>11039309In 1 Corinthians 14:33 we read that God is not the author of confusion, but of peace. God's house is a house of order, and not a house of confusion. Yet what we see in the Christian world is an incomparable example of confusion and dissent, onset by arbitrary and uninspired interpretation and interpolation of scripture and doctrine.
So my answer to you is that Matthew 24:36 is very clear: About that day, or hour, no man knows, nor the angels, nor the Son, but the Father only. The time of the return of the Son of God is not determined by the Son but by the Father, who is the presiding figure of the Godhead. The Father is not the Son, nor is the Son the Father. They are not a singular entity, but that they work together in perfect unity.
You can reject this interpretation as unchristian or heretical, but your alternative is exactly what you see: Confusion, conflicting doctrine and dogma, arguments, backbiting, petty squabbles, a house divided against itself. All because they can't handle the idea that they might have gotten the wrong end of the stick the entire time.
