No, it was not sinning. It was not a question, it is an exclamation.

I have two answers to your question. First of all, Jesus was not sinning when he asked God " Why have you forsaken me?"
The Second answer to the question is this. When Jesus was crucified on the cross, he did it to take away our sins in order to bring us back into a right relationship with God. The reason that Jesus had asked that question in the first place was because he had take on himself the sins of the whole world, and because God is HOLY, God cannot look on a person with sin. That is why the sky had turned black at the time of the crucifixion. If Christ had not willingly given his life on the cross for us, we would have to pay the punishment for our own sins. And as Romans 6:23 says, the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Therefore, in order for us to have forgiveness for our sins, there had to be substitute sacrifice, and Christ chose to be that sacrifice for us.

To question God is not sin, its just not very good to do. God always knows the right thing to do! But no, by Jesus asking why God had forsaken him, it was not sinning. Jesus was perfect and never sinned- if he did he wouldnt have been able to be crucified as the eternal sacrifice for our sins.

First there in nothing wrong with talking to God in a questioning manner or even in anger. If you have a relationship it is normal to do this at times.
As to Jesus, this is the moment in time in which He took on the sins of the world and the only moment in which He felt separated from the Father. It is so very sad. Just imagine it. Alone, in such pain and humiliation, everyone turning from you and now even God. The feeling to total an complete abandonment. That was what was happening in that moment.

One school of thought says He was quoting Psalm 22 - written something like a 1000 years earlier. This is the ONLY verse in the Bible with a literal quote.
Matthew 27:46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
That was Aramaic. Most of the crowd spoke Hebrew or Greek. To whom was Jesus speaking? The Priests - and they knew it.
Psalm 22 – the psalm Jesus referred to on the cross…
Look at verse six. You're going to love this.
Verse 6: But I [am] a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people.
A worm? What’s up with that?
The Hebrew lexicon for "worm" is “towla”.
Dig a little deeper...
Check out “Towla”…

the worm "coccus ilicis" ++++ When the female of the scarlet worm species was ready to give birth to her young, she would attach her body to the trunk of a tree, fixing herself so firmly and permanently that she would never leave again. The eggs deposited beneath her body were thus protected until the larvae were hatched and able to enter their own life cycle. As the mother died, the crimson fluid stained her body and the surrounding wood. From the dead bodies of such female scarlet worms, the commercial scarlet dyes of antiquity were extracted. What a picture this gives of Christ, dying on the tree, shedding His precious blood that He might "bring many sons unto glory" (Heb. 2:
Amen.

Heres the answer, When Jesus said "Why have thou forsaken me" , he is not questioning God, He just say this to FULFILL the prophesy from the OLD Testament. You can find it on PSALMS chapter 22. If Jesus doesnt say that word, The prophesy from PSALMS regarding the agony of Messiah will not fulfill.

Jesus was in his death throes. It was at this time that he was bearing the sins of the world. Not much more can be read into this except that the passage you refer to, Mark 15:34 says more. It sounds a lot like Psalms 22 rather than sin.
And if you hope for some more deep and philosophical answer, I hope you're Aramaic is better than mine.

Omniscience cannot be sin, only ignorance is.
We are ignorant who dare boastfully question God and refuse to humbly listen to His answer; Christ is omniscient, He seeks God's assistance, He immediately gets the answer and happily welcomes the painful death on the cross which inspires millions of people to the glory of the One True God.
Christ said "why have thou forsaken me?", then He said "but Thine Will be done, not Mine." At first, He reminds us about the weakness of man in the human body; next, He reminds us of absolute obedience in faith.

The extremely radical position on all of it truly is the only which denies "Jesus Christ" ever existed. i have examine up in this or maybe as it truly is no longer achieveable to understand for particular, i imagine it truly is more effective probably than no longer that ole Yeshua turned right into a thoroughly mythological charactor. it may pastime you to do not ignore that the first prepared sect to emerge depending around the worship of Jesus, the Marcionites, did not believe that Jesus had ever bodily existed. even as each of the Christian sects were united on the Council of Nicaea, the Marcionite version of Jesus become protected into the recent mythos because the so-referred to as "Holy Spirit". evidently to were a political compromise to get them to quit resisting and connect the Roman state church (which nonetheless exists at present because the Catholic & Orthodox sects). the outline and attributes of the Holy Spirit in those sects are clone of human beings that Marcion ascribed to Jesus. As for "God", i'm Buddhistic about all that. i'm particular there are larger dimensions of Being, yet i don't believe for a second that some thing like Yahweh-Allah-Jehovah exists. For more effective useful and for worse, we are on our own down right here. no longer some thing accessible rather cares what a swarm of two-legged insects do to at least one yet another.... Nimadan

Well, it is not a sin to question God; it is only natural. So, whoever taught you this taught you the wrong thing.

No Christ was teaching Psalms.
Psa 22:1 My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?
Psa 22:2 O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent.
Psa 22:3 But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.
Psa 22:4 Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them.
