I think the actual words (from the Roman guards) were along the lines of "Can you please cross your feet, we only have one nail left?" and from Jesus were (loosly translated, again), "Hey this is a great view of Jerusalem from up here!"
Sorry, you said you wanted responsible individuals to reply?
OK,
In about the year 50 CE, Paul portrayed Jesus as a dying-resurrecting god-man (along the Pagan lines of Attis, Osiris, Dionysus, Mithras, etc). Check out the "Letters of Paul".
Between 70 and 100 CE, Mark gave the fable an historical and geographical setting. Check the "Gospel according to Mark"
Between 90 and 135 CE, Mathew and Luke made up the stories about Jesus' birth and resurrection and added them in (Bethlehem, Bright star, wise men and stuff).
Check out those two Gospels, this stuff was never previously mentioned.
About the year 120 CE, John started to develop the "Christian Theology". See the "Gospel according to John"
Between the years 150 and 177 CE, the "Acts of the Apostles" were created. Having created the illusion of Jesus, these books were written to account for his Disciples.
And between 177 and 220 CE, the "Letter of the Apostles" were all FORGED by the Literalists to cover for those people who STILL didn't believe in the story.
Finally, around 325 CE, The Council of Nicaea got together and under the "spin doctor" Bishop Eusebius, they decided which of the several hundred books they would "go with", and thus the Bible was born.
Sorry about the early humour, but you gotta admit, the story of Jesus is good for a laugh. Bit like the tale of Superman, eh?

"My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" Do you actually think that He believed his Father had abandoned Him??
YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE READING -
Jesus NEVER called His Father "God", He called Him "FATHER";
What Jesus was doing on the cross was reciting psalms 22 (also 23) and was telling you that at that moment, prophecy was being fulfilled. Those psalms were written 1000 years before the crucifiction, which told of the entire event, right down to the details of what people would be doing at the foot of the cross:
Jesus Christ was a teacher (is a teacher)
and every single thing he said and did was a teaching. Even dying on the cross......

No,He said (translated of course) 'My God my God,why have you forsaken me?'
His disciples didn't make up the resurrection.Nearly all of them died as martyrs.Everyone (Romans and other Jews) knew that the tomb was empty.They could have easily produced the body to quell the rumours of the resurrection.But they couldn't.And the resurrection was one of the ver earliest things attested to.

no.
and no, that was not the deal.
Don't we too cry out to our loved ones when we are in a difficult situation? none of us know the real reason, so we should just stop worrying about it and mind our own buisness!
and Jesus rose from the dead 3 days later, and people have been talking about it ever since!!
alleluia!
God Bless!

Greek & Coptic Translator is nice in putting forward that John a million:a million c is an celebration of a verse that 'truly would not teach something and must be placed aside.' it truly is because grammar on my own isn't conclusive, and context ought to be considered also. The context of John a million:a million isn't one in each of figuring out the trademarks as God, on condition that God has already been said with the convinced grammatical marker as someone the trademarks replaced into "with" or "contained in the presence of" (Coptic version). That the trademarks or word replaced into "with God" is repeated in verse 2, as if for emphasis. The trademarks or word is said with an anarthrous structure as someone who shared the features or features of deity or divinity, yet replaced into no longer The Deity or The Divinity. maximum Greek students, even Trinitarian ones, acknowlege the qualitative effect of John a million:1c. the bigger context of John a million:a million is something of the financial disaster and something of the Gospel of John itself. What those teach, for the acute pupil, is the subordinate nature of the word made flesh, and the clean undeniable actuality that, as Jesus stated, he got here to do the favor of a few different person, someone more beneficial than he replaced into (i.e., his Father), no longer his own will. hence, both the instant and the bigger context of John a million:a million identifies the word, no longer as God Almighty yet as being divine, "a god" someone who 'replaced into what God replaced into' (evaluate John a million:a million contained in the Revised English Bible), yet no longer "who" God replaced into. Context (to boot as grammar) also enters into the image in those verses someone stated the position an anarthrous "theos" is most suitable rendered "God" somewhat of "a god." textual content without context is incomplete.

Matthew 27:46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, "Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?" that is, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"
The humanity of Jesus was crying out as God poured his wrath upon our Savior when He was made sin for us.
2 Corinthians 5:21 For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
Jesus asked his Father if there was any other way to accomplish the plan of salvation in the Garden of Gethsemane on the mount of Olives and submitted his human body to the divine will of his Father.
Luke 22:39 And he came out and went, as was his custom, to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples followed him. 40 And when he came to the place, he said to them, "Pray that you may not enter into temptation." 41 And he withdrew from them about a stone's throw, and knelt down and prayed, 42 saying, "Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done." 43 And there appeared to him an angel from heaven, strengthening him. 44 And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly; and his sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground.
The evidence for the resurrection would carry the weight of conviction in a courtroom according to Simon Greenleaf.
Testimony of the Evangelists by Simon Greenleaf (1783-1853)
Greenleaf, one of the principle founders of the Harvard Law School, originally set out to disprove the biblical testimony concerning the resurrection of Jesus Christ. He was certain that a careful examination of the internal witness of the Gospels would dispel all the myths at the heart of Christianity. But this legal scholar came to the conclusion that the witnesses were reliable, and that the resurrection did in fact happen.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In examining the evidence of the Christian religion, it is essential to the discovery of truth that we bring to the investigation a mind freed, as far as possible, from existing prejudice, and open to conviction. There should be a readiness, on our part, to investigate with candor to follow the truth wherever it may lead us, and to submit, without reserve or objection, to all the teachings of this religion, if it be found to be of divine origin. "There is no other entrance," says Lord Bacon, "to the kingdom of man, which is founded in the sciences, than to the kingdom of heaven, into which no one can enter but in the character of a little child." The docility which true philosophy requires of her disciples is not a spirit of servility, or the surrender of the reason and judgment to whatsoever the teacher may inculcate; but it is a mind free from all pride of opinion, not hostile to the truth sought for, willing to pursue the inquiry, and impartiality to weigh the arguments and evidence, and to acquiesce in the judgment of right reason. The investigation, moreover, should be pursued with the serious earnestness which becomes the greatness of the subject--a subject fraught with such momentous consequences to man. It should be pursued as in the presence of God, and under the solemn sanctions created by a lively sense of his omniscience, and of our accountability to him for the right use of the faculties which he has bestowed....cont @ http://www.law.umkc.edu/faculty/projects/ftrials/jesus/greenleaf.html

It is thought that He showed his humanity there. Being in great pain.
Don't WE always cry out to God when we are in pain?
