1 | WAS JESUS FORSAKEN BY HIS FATHER? | Matt 27:46 | EdB | 41074 | ||
Richlou Then you believe the nails held Jesus to the cross? I believe nothing held Him to the cross but His love for us. He was God, He allowed Himself to be placed on that cross out of love for us. He died on the cross out of love for us. As I said before his cry was the cry of humanity within Him, His words were the love of God reaching out yet another time to reconcil His people. Why do you feel God had to separate Himself from Christ? Why do you think Jesus carring the sins of the world caused God to separate from Him. Give me a scripture. Then explain how God the Son was separated from God the Father. Then explain if God the Son could died both physically and spiritually (separation for God) how could He be eternal. EdB |

My brother, I think you misinterpreted what I meant when I wrote. It is often like that anyway among christians. Being a preacher and teacher of theology I know what I am talking about. Of course I do not believe Jesus was held by some poor nails He created Himself. All I can say is to tell you that you would have to study the doctrine of substitution more deeply. A good verse for that as a starting point could be Isa. 59.1-2. Immediately, I take care to warn you that you will say: "Wait a minute! The question here doesn't concern the separation of Jesus from God". On that point I would agree with you, but if you read the reason of the separation, you see that it is sin that causes it. Moreover, you know as myself that Jesus has been made sin for us (2 Cor. 5.21). In conclusion, you asked me to explain how Jesus could be separated from His Father being God Himself. Once again, if you look at it in that perspective, I agree with you. But the issue here is not that I believe in a split within the Godhead or His deity. It is rather a separation as a momentarily "being made sin for us" (2 Cor. 5.21). In fact, I think we believe the same thing. The problem is that you talk about it in a perspective and I talk about it in another. I will not come back with you on that. We are there to edify one another and all those who read us, not to undergo a dispute of words as Paul said. | ||||||
