If he already knows that he is dying for peoples' sins or willingly sacrificing himself?

When some say that Jesus was not god, some of you oppose it and calim Jesus is god.
Underneath some of you say that Jesus was human at that time. So confusiing. I bet you yourself could not understand it.
The question above by Jesus showed that he was not willing to die and did not expect to be crucified- simple as that.

Maybe he worked out god wasn't coming to save him.
Perhaps a Christian could answer without contradicting themselves when they say Jesus is God.

It was at this moment that the Father placed all the sins of humanity on Jesus. Jesus actually became sin. Because God cannot look at sin, He turned His back to Jesus. The physical punishment Jesus took on the cross was not the most horrible thing He experienced in the Atonement. He died spiritually as well as physically. He actually experienced what it was like to be a human being and separated from God the Father.

This is one of the great mysteries of Christianity...one that we accept on faith but can't hope to understand until we are one day united with Christ.
Jesus was true God, and true human, simultaneously. In his human state, he was bemoaning the fact that it was a painful process (understatement). It was the first and only time the human side of Jesus understood what it was like to be completely separated from God.
We Christians believe that on earth, no one is separated from God. Complete separation from God is more than one can bear, and only those who reject the unconditional love and salvation of God through Jesus Christ will experience that separation after they die. That is why some Christians, misguided as they may seem, are intent on trying to convert you. Their heart is in the right place, its just that their methods can be a bit...shall we say...overwhelming?
Good question! Thanks!

Jesus suffering is tremendous, and He is experiencing those moments when God is absent from our necessity. Jesus is not able to use His power to escape the cross. And this agony is terrible for Him, but only consoling in what He will do with His Mission. Jesus died at the hands of his enemy in order to descend to hell and take the victory from them. Further, in the Resurrection He proves that God has power over death and over hell.
In Matthew 27:46, Jesus cries out with David, the Word of Psalm 22:1. He spoke in Aramaic.
27:45. Now from the sixth hour, there was darkness over the whole earth, until the ninth hour.
27:46. And about the ninth hour, Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying: Eli, Eli, lamma sabacthani? That is, My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me?
27:47. And some that stood there and heard said: This man calleth Elias.
27:48. And immediately one of them running took a sponge and filled it with vinegar and put it on a reed and gave him to drink.
If the wine is changed into vinegar, or is become putrid or corrupted, it can not be used as Altar Wine. Hence we see the Romans offering the putrid or corrupt works of carnal men to the Lord on the cross, for which He is dying for their sins, and he refuses partaking of their corruption. But Christ died as the forsaken because men He would not forsake. And He would change their nature, purified by clean water to the holy wine of divinity. This He does so in the Mass, through the proper reception of His Grace.

While on the cross God leaves him. He must suffer alone. The saying is symbolic to show he is still human and feels the same things we do. How would you feel if your father had been with you all through life and then in time of need he is gone. God had to leave him, so he would be able to forfill the scriptures. Jesus could at any time stoped his death but he kept to his objective. Didn't you watch the passion, it's as close to the bible without reading it.

Jesus cried this out when he was dying on the cross. At one stage, Jesus got all the sins of mankind heaped on Him, and because God is holy, He could not look at Him and this is when Jesus felt He had been forsaken by God.

Jesus was here to show us an example of perfect living. Everything He did was a reflection of man execpt for His pureness. When He cried out to God in Heaven, He was showing us that as man, we can cry out to Him in Heaven. I know it is confusing but pray about it and the Holy Ghost will answer your heart.

It's the human side of Jesus. Although He is the son of God He was born through Mary who was a human being. We humans always ask "why" everytime we encounter problems or are in despair.

maybe its just more dramatic that way?
I mean what good is faking your own death if its not showy?
edit::
>>"Because in His humanity.....he knew that this would be the hardest part of the sacrifice...."<<
so, hes a whiny little ****? numerous other jewish martyrs over history went through deaths just as if not *MORE* painful and didn't gripe about it so melodramatically, and silently, with dignity, endured it with their faith in God. its a "you don't really know what 'and all your heart and soul' means until your there" type things.
really to say "my god, my Lord, why have you forsaken me" means HIS OWN FAITH FALTERED. if anything. you wouldn't say that if your faith was perfectly intact.
>>"But He is still 100% Deity."<<
that is idolotry and polytheism.
>>" the father had to look away from the son. As in, he cannot stand to look upon sin. "<<
why not? is god not all powerful and all knowing? absolutely perfect? Perfection can't be defiled. theres no "cannot" statement that can be applied to God. ... well, other than being unable to be said to be unable to do anything... erm... right.

In those hours where Jesus was taking on the sin of all mankind, the father had to look away from the son. As in, he cannot stand to look upon sin. Jesus was made sin for us at that time, he cried out to the father..... because he knew that the father wasn't in him at that time, our sins were in him.
He was seperate from the father therefore cried out to be with him once again.... also demonstrating that when we sin, we are not in union with the father, we are out of fellowship and need to cry out to him (confess our sins to him) to become once again in union with him.
