Continuing answer on Mark 13:32 and Jesus's limited knowledge

Mike cites Luke 2:52 ("Jesus increased in wisdom and in stature and in favor with God and man") to show that Jesus truly grew in wisdom in his humanity. God cannot increase in wisdom, but Jesus in his humanity did. He also notes Jesus had supernatural knowledge of hearts at times, showing selective/parceled access to omniscience per the Father's will. Similarly, Jesus had access to omnipotence but only used power for what the Father showed him (e.g., cursing a fig tree).
