Jesus's omniscience during incarnation: Mike disagrees that Jesus had NO supernatural knowledge while on earth. He knew Nathanael under the fig tree (John 1:48) and "what was in the heart of man" (John 2:25). Philippians 2:5-9: Jesus "emptied himself" — voluntarily limited ACCESS to omniscience while retaining it. Like knowing something but not being able to recall it at will.
Jesus's knowledge during incarnation — kenosis
Philippians 2:6-8: Jesus emptied himself, took form of a servant. But he still accessed supernatural knowledge at times (Nathanael, reading hearts). The emptying wasn't loss of divine nature but voluntary limitation of access. Post-exaltation (Phil 2:9), those limitations may be gone. Jesus always maintained his divine nature while humbling himself to live as a human.
