Did Jesus Know the Hour of his return?

Muslims love to reference Mark 13:32 as a clear indication that Jesus never claimed to be God. Reading the verse out of context and without a wider understanding of the incarnation, does seem at first reading to support the Muslim view. However, on further study, we see there is no contradiction between Jesus claiming to be God and claiming not to know the hour of his return.

Theology

Why Jesus is Good and God

The Quran denies the deity of Jesus. Muslims often point to Mark 10:18 to show that Jesus himself claimed not to be God. A careful reading of the passage in question, however, shows that rather than denying his divinity, Jesus in this very passage is claiming to be the divine Saviour.

Theology

Key Source: Like Moses

Many Muslims claim that in Deuteronomy 18:15-18 Moses was referring to Muhammad as "a prophet like me". However, a quick comparison shows that Muhammad was not like Moses is several significant ways.
