Christians?

Question

Matthew 27:46
About the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, "Eloi, Eloi,[a] lama sabachthani?"—which means, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"[b]

If Jesus is God why will he cry My God My God?God will cry to God?
Not offending but trying to know how do you understand this.

some people here are saying that Jesus is not God..but he is God's son..but other Christians told me that he is God in flesh .. I didn't come up with this but this is what I hear from Christians.

Answer 1

Jesus is not God and he never said he was.

When Jesus said those words, evidently he was fulfilling a prophecy concerning his death. (Psalm 22:1) In a qualified sense, Jesus could also have meant that Jehovah had removed his protection and let his Son die a painful and shameful death so as to test his integrity to the limit. An examination of the events on that final day of Jesus’ earthly life shows that God heard his prayers.

On the night of his arrest, Jesus prayed in the garden of Gethsemane. Three times he pleaded: “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass away from me.” (Matthew 26:39, 42, 44) Jesus was not reluctant to give his life as a ransom for believing mankind. No, but he apparently was deeply concerned about the possibility of dishonoring his dearly beloved Father by dying on a torture stake as a cursed blasphemer. Did Jehovah hear Jesus’ prayer?

Years later the apostle Paul wrote: “In the days of his flesh Christ offered up supplications and also petitions to the One who was able to save him out of death, with strong outcries and tears, and he was favorably heard for his godly fear.” (Hebrews 5:7; Luke 22:42, 44) Yes, on the agonizing night preceding his death, Jesus “was favorably heard.” But how?

Jehovah sent an angel who “appeared to [Jesus] and strengthened him.” (Luke 22:43) Thus strengthened, Jesus was able to face death on the torture stake. Apparently, Jehovah then gave him assurance that his death on the stake would not bring reproach on the divine name but would eventually be the very thing used to sanctify it. Indeed, Jesus’ death on the torture stake opened a way for Jews, who were otherwise cursed under the Law, to be saved from condemnation to death.—Galatians 3:11-13.

Three days later, Jehovah resurrected Jesus and cleared him of any possible charge of blasphemy by exalting him to a superior heavenly position. (Philippians 2:7-11) What a marvelous way to answer Jesus’ prayer concerning “this cup”! That prayer was answered in Jehovah’s way. And Jesus experienced wonderful blessings because he had told his heavenly Father: “Let, not my will, but yours take place.”—Luke 22:42.

Answer 2

Jesus is, was, and always will b God, since He was co-existent with both the Father and the Spirit from all eternity.

His sacrifice on the cross required that the Father turn away from the Son, who had taken on all the sin and guilt of the world, from the smallest white lie anyone ever told on up to the vilest, most sadistic murders--and even beyond what we can imagine--and the Father could not look upon sin. In all eternity (or time), this was the first time that the oneness of the Father and Son had been breached, and this caused Jesus an anguish that we can't even begin to imagine.

Being familiar with the scriptures, He used the language of the first verse of Psalm 22 to give vent and expression to that anguish.

Answer 3

The way I understand this is that Jesus had to take on all the sins of the world for all time while he was on the cross in order to be the perfect sacrifice. God cannot tolerate looking at sin, so He had to turn His face away for this to come to pass. Jesus and God and the Holy Spirit are three parts of the same God, but Jesus was also a man, and God had to separate Himself from Jesus at that moment. This is one of the great mysteries of Christianity, and very hard to understand.

Answer 4

Jesus was quoting Psalm 22, verse 1 and in so doing was pointing out that Old Testement Prophecy was being fulfilled as they watched.

Psa 22:1 To the chief Musician upon Aijeleth Shahar, A Psalm of David. My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?

Read the whole of the Psalm. http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=psa%2022;&version=9;

Answer 5

When Jesus was on the cross and said this , was when He had taken ALL the sins of the world on himself and GOD can't look on sin so Jesus knew that GOD had left him for that short time. GOD is one but three, GOD JESUS AND THE HOLY SPIRIT.

Answer 6

At that very point Jesus was bearing the weight of all of the sins of the world. We could never imagine the horror of bearing such a burden... and God for that moment had left him to carry that weight alone. This aspect of his crucifiction was what Christ prayed to the father to "take this cup from me" but "not my will but thine be done".

If this doesn't make you stop and think... nothing will.

Answer 7

That was when God put the weight of the world's sins on Jesus.

Answer 8

It proves that Jesus is not Almighty God but his son. Meditate as well on John 14:28: "[Jesus said] If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I go to the Father; for the Father is GREATER than I."

Answer 9

The Trinity is a fabrication brought on by Constantine and his Council.

Fireball... Your answer makes no sense what so ever.


Jesus and our Heavenly Father are 2 separate beings of flesh and bone (like you and I) - Literally Father and Son. The Holy Ghost is also a separate being, but without form.

Answer 10

Hes the son of god.
