So do you think when Jesus screamed out "my God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" He didn't know what He was talking about? He was mistaken?
He was dying. It was an appeal to life of the flesh leaving His body. It was not an indication of abandonment by the Father.
Heb 5:7 Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared;
He who only ever did what He saw the Father doing and only ever said what He heard from the Father, suddenly didn't have a clue the Father hadn't really forsaken Him?
You seem to be looking for a reason to treat Christ separately than the Father. I never gave this impression.
Or maybe you'll give me the standard answer and Jesus was just quoting Psalm 22. Hell of a time to be quoting poetry don't you think?![]()
I have never used that explanation. Jesus did often appeal to fulfilling the Scriptures that had been written. He even asked John to "suffer it to be so"....
Remember when John told Jesus that he needed to be baptized of Jesus?
I've often teased baptist with this in my life. THE.... "baptizer" was never baptized himself. That should put baptism into perspective for most people.
