Where, if this is so, then it might appear that anything said by Him prior to “baptism” was not with “full knowledge”, and possibly in error? Just nitpicking, but that’s how it seems to comes across.
Check out this quote:
136:2.3 Ordinarily, when a mortal of the realm attains such high levels of personality perfection, there occur those preliminary phenomena of spiritual elevation which terminate in eventual fusion of the matured soul of the mortal with its associated divine Adjuster. And such a change was apparently due to take place in the personality experience of Jesus of Nazareth on that very day when he went down into the Jordan with his two brothers to be baptized by John. This ceremony was the final act of his purely human life on Urantia, and many superhuman observers expected to witness the fusion of the Adjuster with its indwelt mind, but they were all destined to suffer disappointment. Something new and even greater occurred. As John laid his hands upon Jesus to baptize him, the indwelling Adjuster took final leave of the perfected human soul of Joshua ben Joseph. And in a few moments this divine entity returned from Divinington as a Personalized Adjuster and chief of his kind throughout the entire local universe of Nebadon. Thus did Jesus observe his own former divine spirit descending on its return to him in personalized form. And he heard this same spirit of Paradise origin now speak, saying, “This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased.” And John, with Jesus’ two brothers, also heard these words. John’s disciples, standing by the water’s edge, did not hear these words, neither did they see the apparition of the Personalized Adjuster. Only the eyes of Jesus beheld the Personalized Adjuster.
136:2.4 When the returned and now exalted Personalized Adjuster had thus spoken, all was silence. And while the four of them tarried in the water, Jesus, looking up to the near-by Adjuster, prayed: “My Father who reigns in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come! Your will be done on earth, even as it is in heaven.” When he had prayed, the “heavens were opened,” and the Son of Man saw the vision, presented by the now Personalized Adjuster, of himself as a Son of God as he was before he came to earth in the likeness of mortal flesh, and as he would be when the incarnated life should be finished. This heavenly vision was seen only by Jesus.
136:3.2 After his baptism he entered upon the forty days of adjusting himself to the changed relationships of the world and the universe occasioned by the personalization of his Adjuster.
Everything changed in the entire local universe after Jesus’ baptism. He was always a dual origin being, but his knowledge of his spiritual origin was limited to his Thought Adjuster indwelling the soul that he and the Adjuster c0-created. After the Adjuster left and became personalized, Jesus was given full knowledge of his pre-existence as a Creator Son of a universe.
What was said by Jesus prior to his baptism was not in error because it was in alignment with his Adjuster. He was able to complete all seven psychic circles and reach perfect attunement with God’s will. But that does not mean that prior to baptism he had full knowledge of everything that had happened to him and his universe over the previous trillions of years. That happened after his Adjuster was personalized and gave him the full complement of his knowledge. Prior to Jesus’ baptism, the Adjuster was in possession of the full complement of knowledge which he passed on to him after baptism. Normally when humans fuse they gain some portion of the Adjuster’s knowledge. In Jesus’ case, he did not fuse, so the full compliment of knowledge was given to him all at once. That should make sense since I said the same thing several different ways.
