If Jesus IS God in flesh?

...then how is he unaware of the Hour? How is it that God is not aware of what God is thinking?

Matthew 24:36 NIV: “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.

Matthew 24:36 KJV: But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

Update:

@Godsproblemchild: God is All-Knowing.

Update 2:

@Moon: That's the nature of Trinity.

    When Jesus was on the earth, He made Himself His Father's servant. Possibly God did not want Him to reveal the time of His return so that we would do God's will and be ready at all times.

    That question confounds many so called Christian teachers and the simplest answer is that he's not God because God has no form or haven't you read that piece of Biblical literature? "God has no form of anything created in the heavens above or on the earth below, I am the Lord. " look it up.

    If Jesus declared himself to be God he would be going contrary to the writing of the very book you Christians validate as being trustworthy. Isn't it written in there where he warns his followers to beware of the man of sin who will sit in the temple of God and declare that he is God? "Then let those that are out in the fields not return to their homes etc etc.....?

    The problem here is, that it's not Jesus that is proclaiming himself to be God but those that call themselves his followers and those that call themselves his disciples are unknowingly tearing down his truth and imposing their own version of truth to unsuspecting ears.

    Lol!!!!! Some of the answers here are not surprising at all to me but what is surprising to me is, that if they [you "Christians"] have truly believed in Jesus once you have accepted him you should have been endowed with the spirit of holiness which is suppose to guide you to [all] truth, yet I don't see that happening. Why? How odd ......

    And again, I add a familiar text of the writings of the emissaries which he [Jesus] says; "I of [myself] can do NOTHING but God who works in me he does the work". As you can clearly see, he is not giving himself any credit for any miracle but to God. Remember, NOTHING means NOTHING.

    Simple if Jesus knew the answer He wouldn't have told it anyway. Think about this if you knew the day and time you would die you would commit every sin possible, you would indulge yourself in your desires and before that day and time came you would repent for what you had done. The same is true when it comes to the end of this world people that would know the exact date it would arrive would indulge themselves in their sins before the time came and then before it was the time they would repent for what they done. Jesus instructed His desciples to always be prepared, Jesus was no fool He knew how the human mind works.

    Jesus Christ chose to humble Himself as a human. He lived His entire life as a human unless a working of God was needed.

    You have some misconceptions about The Godhead. Christ does not Know his father's timing because Christ is not His Father. He is God and the Father is God, they are united in purpose and knowledge.

    Jesus is the Son of God as we all can be Sons of God.

    Humans have two(2) minds(spirits)

    1. Son of man whom Jesus calls evil one - This is the mind we use from birth.

    2. Son of God whom he calls good one - This we develop to think like God.

    A. BORN AGAIN - when we DECIDE we want to think, act, and be like God.

    B. CONVERTED - when we receive and apply the Gospel, becoming more God.

    Total conversion is a life-time endeavor.

    Of course, the (Hebrew) Bible is pretty specific that G-d isn't a man, and G-d doesn't change, so your premise is in doubt.

    Jesus was also fully human so he was limited but after the resurrection He was restored to all the knowledge God has.

    God chose not to tell and God chose not to know.
