Did Christ know He was fully God?

There are those who claim that just refers to God having given Him the power to do so. :idunno:
I've heard people say that His humanity kept Him from knowing the extent of His Deity, and that's why He didn't make it clear. That He didn't display any Divine attributes at all.
Do you accept what I bolded above? If so, why? I would greatly disagree with that conclusion.
I don't think that he knew until he was baptized by John the Baptist and tempted by the devil. It is hard to comprehend that Jesus is both God and man in one person, even if we know that he was.

No, I'm one of those who believe our Lord not only knew He was fully God, but He also displayed many Divine attributes. What I'd like to see is what others see from the Scripture on this issue.

You don't think He knew when He failed to notify His parents to go about His "Father's business"? He was only twelve.
Luke 2:48-50
48 And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing. 49 And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business? 50 And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them.

OK. I wasn't quite sure what your position was. I'll post some evidence from Scripture that Jesus knew He was God and displayed divine attributes.
1. Jesus never sinned so He revealed the divine attributes of who God really is, what His character is like.
2. Jesus knew He was God. Even His enemies acknowledged that He said it:
3. Jesus took the OT name of God for His own.
4. Jesus read men's thoughts, hearts and characters.
There is more evidence of Jesus knowing He was God and of Him displaying divine attributes but this should be enough to solidly establish it scripturally.
That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. And I've been interacting with Gt today.
Who cares what dumb people think? :idunno: The only reason we even know about Him is because He is God. No mere man would have been able to fool billions of people into believing that He rose from the dead, for two thousand years.
Not that that's an argument for Him being God; it's just---well what would you expect? if He is God? You'd expect what actually happened. It did.
I thought about that. Can a 12 year old comprehend that he is going to be the savior of the world?

Because the Lord wants me here to call out losers like you. :e4e:
And you do a mighty fine job of it.
I think He knew but I'm not sure how early in His earthly life. John 17:5 KJV -

It brings up some interesting questions, doesn't it?
How limited was God in this humanity He took on?
You could ask how could He not know?
yes
