Jesus is fully God, but at that time He was fully human to take the sins of the world, yours and mine, upon Himslef and paid for them so that we dont have to. He was forsaken by the Father because God is holy and cannot be in the presence of sin. He momentarily forsook Jesus so that we can have eternal life with Him. The resurrection is proof that God the Father accepted Jesus' sacrifice and Scripture says that He now sits at the right hand of the Father.

Because he was carrying the sins of the world at that exact time. God can not look upon sin. Jesus was 100% God but he was also 100% man as well. I know it does add up mathatically, but it is God we are dealing with and not a normal person.

lmao... if Jesus was a god (or, was THE god as so many like to imagine the faerie-tale)... why would he have killed himself, damning himself to an eternity in that hellish place it's said he himself created for such "persons"?
Don't try to make sense of it, my friend... that bible book is a work of fiction and contradiction. The intention for it to be a source of 'comfort and explanation' to the ignorant and in large part, illiterate mass of the past simply got out of hand. Unfortunately, it found it's way into the hands of some pretty crafty guys who saw the benefit to keeping it around for their own purposes. "Who" owns the most land in the world? The Roman Catholic church! Check out that massive palace and the moneeeeeyy! The pope really lives and rides in style... too bad he's so damned old and sickly! Check out the other 'leaders' of christianity... gold, gold and more gold!
Poor guy... hung out to dry on that wooden cross, crying out to an imaginary foster-daddy.... "oh, why have you forsaken me? This here really hurts!" No sh*t... poor guy actually came to believing his own tale during his delusions before death.
Walking on water is no miracle... to be walking on this earth as an intelligent life-form is the only true miracle!

Jesus was quoting Psalm 22, which begins with those words (those present must have been startled if they considered his words). The Psalm is a prophecy of the very suffering Christ would experience on the cross. David (who wrote the Psalm) was seeing the future events as Christ saw them, and wrote down this prophecy using his perspective.
Many have suggested that Christ, paying the price that our sins deserved, is at a point of "abandonment" from the Father...

Jesus was the perfection of God incarnated as a man. the Master always refered to YHVH as His Father - who he obviously was talking to here - and God heard and ended the passion immediately.
Yeshua Messiah never said he was God - he said he brought the Laws and Message of God out of the Temple and available to everyone. He is the Messiah, and he taught we are all the children of God.
Son of God, and Son of Man are titles He earned.

There is no "if" to it--Jesus is one part of the triunal Godhead--God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. Now, as to why He said what He did--Jesus had never been separated from the Father, not even for a second. However, when He took our sins upon Himself (in order to save us from hell) God could no longer look upon His own Son. Jesus took our lies, our perversions, our murders, our hate, our thievery, our adultery, our killing of our own babies, everything, on himself. He was our sacrifice for sin. God, in His holiness, cannot bear to look upon sin so He turned His back on His own Son (who was covered with all our sins). That is why Jesus, when He felt the absence of His Father, said, "My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me?" After He died and was resurrected, then, the payment for our sins having been met, He was reunited with the Father. We still must ask for forgiveness in order to be saved from a devil's hell but Jesus has paid the price so we could be saved.

3 persons, same person. Not an easy concept, but that is what it is. Jesus is the son of God, and He is God. The spirit is God. They have distinct "duties" in the bible. I am Father, Husband, and Son. 3 people with distinct duties, but the same person.

"Eli, Eli, lama sabachtani?" = "My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?" When we speak of "God" we refer to God as our superior-- I would say the Invisible Parent. There exists a hierchy among Divine beings (as described in "Kingdom of the Gods" by Geoffrey
Hodson) Jesus may be God-like, and yet he acknowledges that there exist One who is his superior (or parent-like).

" During the 3 hours which the darkness persevered, Jesus was once in pain, wrestling with the powers of darkness, and soreness his Father's displeasure in opposition to the sin of guy, for which he was once now making his soul an delivering. Never had been there 3 such hours due to the fact the day God created guy upon the earth, in no way any such darkish and terrible scene; it was once the turning factor of that pleasant affair, guy's redemption and salvation. Jesus uttered a criticism from Ps 22:one million. Hereby he teaches of what use the phrase of God is to direct us in prayer, and recommends the usage of Scripture expressions in prayer. The believer will have tasted a few drops of bitterness, however he can most effective kind an overly feeble notion of the greatness of Christ's sufferings. Yet, for that reason he learns whatever of the Saviour's like to sinners; for that reason he will get deeper conviction of the vileness and evil of sin, and of what he owes to Christ, who promises him from the wrath to return. His enemies wickedly ridiculed his criticism. Many of the reproaches forged upon the phrase of God and the individuals of God, come up, as right here, from gross errors. Christ, simply earlier than he expired, spake in his complete force, to exhibit that his existence was once no longer pressured from him, however was once freely introduced into his Father's arms. He had force to bid defiance to the powers of loss of life: and to exhibit that by way of the everlasting Spirit he furnished himself, being the Priest as good because the Sacrifice, he cried with a noisy voice. Then he yielded up the ghost. The Son of God upon the move, did die by way of the violence of the ache he was once positioned to. His soul was once separated from his frame, and so his frame was once left rather and real lifeless. It was once specific that Christ did die, for it was once considered necessary that he must die. He had undertaken to make himself an delivering for sin, and he did it while he willingly gave up his existence."
