Mat 27:46, it states that while Jesus was on the cross, he said: "Eli, Eli, lama sabachtani (My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?). If Jesus said these words, it represents a blatant declaration of disbelief according to all theological authorities. This is a great insult as such words could only come from an unbeliever in God. Further, it is incredible that such words should come from a Prophet of God, because God never breaks His promise and His Prophets never complained against His promise, especially when the Prophet’s mission is understood. It could be said that whoever relates that this statement was said by a Prophet (Jesus), is a disbeliever. Qur’an states, Jesus was not crucified. It was the intention of his enemies to put him to death on the cross, but Allah saved him from their plot. Qur’an 4:157: "That they (Jews) said boasting, "We killed Christ Jesus, the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah, but they (Jews) killed him not, nor crucified him...

Jesus Christ was human, born of woman. He was in intense mental and spiritual pain (dying for all of humanity will do that to you). Perhaps He understood exactly what He would undergo during His cruxifiction, but knowing and doing are seperate things.
Many have a firm faith in God, but still question or rail against Him in times of trial and pain. This does not mean they are against God, it means they are human. Jesus was the human, earthbound form of God, and as such for that time had free will. And felt pain. I don't find it strange that He cried out in anguish - if you remember correctly, He also asked that God take away his future if it was possible as he prayed desperately in the garden, but if not, that He would do as God commanded.
He was being human. That's why He was here in the first place.

I wasn't there but the bible and the koran give conflicting views and history supports neither . I would take it for what it it's worth if it has a positive impact on your ability to live a better life then great! Sometimes reality is altered by what a person believes whether true or false.

This is what happens when a non-believer tries to interpret bible passages. Something no individual should do. It demonstrates the errors possible when we place our own emphasis on the word.

the new testament stories were written many years after the events - too much room for fiction
