note: this is for those who believe he is god.
how come jesus cries out to his god? "my god my god why have you forsaken me?"
Mark 15:34
And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?"—which means, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"
does that mean god has a split person identity disorder? or that there is even a higher god above him?

Please, don't think that I am trying to be disrespctful to you or anyone else. I am going to give you my point of view below.
I honestly had a problem accepting that when I was a Christian. I wouldn't say that God suffers of Multiple Personality Disorder (MPD), because that is not the case here.
I am more inclined to believe that God the Father is one person, Jesus is another Person, and the Holy Spirit is another person. Three different persons, but the three persons share one purpose. They are three separate beings, like a triunvirate (three presidents for one same country).
That's why in the Bible it says that Jesus sits at the right of God's throne, because Jesus is a completely different/separate person than God.
There are many scriptures in the Bible that can be interpreted the same way, in which makes Jesus seems to be like a Demi-God, or as a Messenger sent by God.

God is 3 persons: The Father, Jesus, and The Holy Spirit (Holy Ghost). Jesus said he was God and that him and the Father are one and he said the one who sends another is greater than the person he sent. The Father sent Jesus and is greater than Jesus. Jesus called out to him because they are 3 distinct persons but are one God. It's like a book with a length, width, and height, but is still one book. I don't understand it that much myself but that's how it is.

God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, are three diffrent things that all equal one. They are one in the same. But God is God, and Jesus is Jesus. Somethings are beyound our comprehention, so there is no figuring this one out. And Jesus said My God why have you forsaken me, because when Jesus died on the cross, he was dying for our sins, so all of the sins of the world were upon him. God is so holy that he can have nothing to do with sin, so he had to separate himself from Jesus. That is why He said that.

Apparently you've never heard of the Trinity. There is God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. All three are considered God, yet the Father is not the Son, the Son is not the Holy Spirit, nor is the Holy Spirit the Father. Think of it as three different people with the same title.

The second option his Father is the almitghy, Jesus said it in John 14:28, Jesus is the Son of the almighty Luke :30-33 he is a god but not the Almighty,tha allmighty is in Psalm 83:18.Jesus is the second one in the whole universe in power and knowledge, but his father is more powerful than him unless Jesus lies, and i dont think so.

Because Jesus is the 2nd Person of the Holy Trinity.

He is God our Father, read your bible, Matthew 41-45, if David calls him Lord how can he be his son?
On the cross all the sins of man are upon him, and our Father can not look upon sin

Jesus and his father are my Lord because he made the world, he made us, and he loves us. Jesus is shouting out to his father we call God. No one is higher than Jesus and his father.

You know I always had trouble with that one. Without wanting to upset anyone I don't think He did say that even if it is written in the Bible.
