If Jesus is God how could he have deserted himself on the cross, and if he did not then what did the "E'lo-i, E'lo-i, la'ma sabach-tha'ni" (Mark 15:34) mean?

Answer 1

Jesus is the son of God, he is a part of God, therefore he is God. It's not that hard to understand really.

Answer 2

Jesus is Jesus, the son, and God is God the Father of Jesus and of you and me and of the entire humanity. Although isn't wrong to believed and say that Jesus is God also, because such are god desires for his son Jesus to become. there isn't sin at all to talk to Jesus as if he was God HIM self, because the truth is that Jesus will be God, perhaps not the only God, but one and the same with and as the Father. though god will always be the Creator, of life, the Heavens and the Earth <>. ,

Answer 3

It is meant to be confusing so you will spend a lot of time trying to figure it out. It is "the mystery of Christ" , sort of a never ending puzzle that the attempt to solve gives meaning to many peoples lives. I have never heard an adequate explanation for this trinity business. Usually it ends with ,"you just have to believe" or "God will reveal it to you, if you are special like me."

If you read the bible long enough, trying to figure it out, you will likely get "programmed" just by repeated exposure. Do yourself a favor and read up on cults, belief systems,and memes before you delve too deeply into any religion.

Answer 4

God, Christ, and the Holy Spirit are all one. Yet they are separate entities. This is often difficult to understand, however I have a good example of how we can understand it. In my life, I am one person, yet I have different roles. I am a son, a husband, a brother, father, neighbor, and a friend. My role to my mom as her son is different than my role to my sister. The role I play as a husband is different than the role I play in my daughter's life.

God is the Father. According to John 1, Christ was with God in the creation (also supported by Genesis and the plural pronouns used). Christ's role as God's Son is to be the propitiation for our sins. The role of the Holy Spirit is to bring us the word.

I hope this helps answer your question. If you would like to discuss anything further, please feel free to contact me.

Answer 5

Well, here is one way to look at it; God, Christ, and the Holy Spirit have a marriage like union. God, Christ, and the Holy Spirit are in complete agreement. Anyways, we don't have the capacity to think the way God does, we just have to wait until the afterlife.

Answer 6

He was talking to God the Father.Jesus is God the Son a seperate part of the Godhead(1 John 5:7)The mistakes that many cultists make is that God is only one person,not true,he is three(Matthew 28:19)God Bless.

Answer 7

God is the Trinity..meaning He's three things> Father, Son(Jesus) and Holy Ghost (or Spirit) He died on the cross so that we and all sinners would be forgiven and have Eternal Life . It was all part of God's plan all along....I'm not a minister...don't ask me to explain it in detail.

Answer 8

I believe The Father is God, Jesus is God, The Holy Spirit is God. The same way water is H2O, Ice is H2O, Vapor is H2O. Others find it hard to believe just like i find it hard to believe their unbelief; Got it?

Answer 9

It's called the TRINITY. The Father, The Son & the Holy Spirit. They are seperate entities. The answer is SIMPLE.

Answer 10

The trinity. Jesus died for our sins so that we could be saved. That is why He went through the worst punishment, even though He didnt deserve it. Think of the trinity an apple. There is the skin, fruit, and core but overall it is all an apple.
