If Jesus is God, why did he ask why God had forsaken him?

Where... what? Where would you meet Jesus Christ? Have you not, then? Do you not know where one meets Him? It is a Scripture promise, you know, that those who seek, find.



Isaiah 45:22 + Revelation 3:20:)
Where have I denied god?

Do you, or do you not, believe in the One True God? Please set the record straight.

You could answer some of my other questions while you are at it ;)

Tell us why you believe. If you believe, that is :unsure:

Who is the one true God? Christians say it's Jesus, Muslims say it's Allah, Jews say it's YHWH.

If you don't know, you don't know. It's okay to say so. Do you want to know Him?

Yes, Jesus knew His own people (national Israel) would largely reject Him. It was prophesied :D

Mohammad was illiterate and did not understand the Scriptures.

I would hope you have no desire to follow him and his false God :censored:

Mohammad was an adulterous murdering pedophile
:cry:

Jesus once asked Peter about who people say that He is. Peter said that Jesus was the Messiah, the Son of the living God. The Father revealed this to Peter.

Like how a mother, father and son are one family?
More like how a mother is also a daughter and a sister and a cousin and an aunt and a niece and a friend and an enemy, etc.

Those who passed by hurled insults at him, shaking their heads and saying, “You who are going to destroy the temple and build it in three days, save yourself! Come down from the cross, if you are the Son of God!”
In the same way the chief priests, the teachers of the law and the elders mocked him.
“He saved others,” they said, “but he can’t save himself! He’s the king of Israel! Let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in him.
He trusts in God. Let God rescue him now if he wants him, for he said, ‘I am the Son of God.’ ” Mt.39-43

So Jesus quoted Psalm 22, where a man asks why God has forsaken him and the answer is, God never forsakes the righteous. Read the rest of the psalm. Jesus was answering their insults by showing them how wrong they were.
