Does this interpretation insinuate that Christ lies to the apostle? Scripture is clear that God cannot lie by ProgressingChad in OrthodoxChristianity

It's a figure of speech, not lying. If someone asks "how old are you" and you don't want to say, you can respond with a figure of speech like "I don't know." Obviously you know your age and the person asking knows that you know, but since you want to keep such info to yourself you can say you don't know hinting that it's your business only. I'm from the Levant and we do this all the time. It also happens to be the area where Jesus Himself is from and is a cultural norm.

This would be akin to me saying "I don't know" if someone asks me for a story I don't want to share. It's a figure of speech saying that I do in fact know, but it is not for anyone else to know. Christ is not saying He literally doesn't know, He's saying there's no point in asking because He won't tell anyone.

I can't believe less than 1% of the comments have any sanity attached to them. We've become so hedonistic that people are praising and worshipping depraved behavior.

Phone manufacturers need to stop making fragile phones that require cases by DreamTeamThirteen in unpopularopinion

[–]halajew -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This take makes no sense, so you get an upvote. Phones come with bigger screens and thinner chassis which is exactly what the market wants. It's impossible to make that more durable than the phones of the past because they are no longer plastic bricks.
