 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 30443981


Jesus felt the weight of sin and death at that moment, and I can only speculate that the Father had to withdrawal from Jesus or else He couldn't die.

The Father had to allow it to finish what needed to be accomplished and allow Jesus to die so we could be saved.

That is why.

God stopped talking with his people once he sent Jesus.

But I also feel that in the near future, that we may not have another chance to get to know God.

God has NOT abandoned man, He would never do that.

Jesus experienced what it was like, to be abandoned as a human, on the cross, making himself one with us, and making it possible for the laws of justice to allow us eternal life.

God withdrew his presence from him at that point, and as a human being, Jesus still gave him his obedience and his life -
'into your hands I commend my spirit'.

He died for all people, for the ones back then and the ones today.

Sin is sin. It was sin back then, and it's sin today. He died so we can be forgiven of our sins and be reconciled to the Father through Jesus.

lol.......no. I didn't say that you have to sin, or that you should sin. You should do your best not to sin. But, you're going to sin and you need to be redeemed.

Jesus is our redeemer. God loves sinners......you're a sinner, we are all sinners. He just hates the sin because sin is rebellion and it's sin that separates us from Him. Jesus paid that price for us, He is our bridge to the Father.

In one sense, He has not left. His Spirit is still with us.

That surely proves he has abandoned us
The world is worse now then at any point in its history
Which shows he's not bothered about it us or what happens
Basically we've been left to our own devices
And sooner or later were just gonna destroy ourselves and find out that there is nothing after this is all over

Re: A question for Christians
If you took a moment to research what he was saying, you would realize that he was QUOTING a verse that told EXACTLY what was happening around the cross at that very moment. Our Savior was TEACHING us even at the moment of His death of the ACTIONS of those around the cross who were mocking Him-thus giving us and EXAMPLE of how WE would be treated by those who mock us when we are just trying to show love to those who hate us. Even in that moment when His life was slipping away, HE STILL WAS REACHING OUT TO THOSE WHO WERE KILLING HIM!! God NEVER forsook Him. In fact, He brought the darkness down (a palpable darkness that even those around the cross could FEEL) and caused evean a centurion to state "Surely, this was the Son of God!"
The TRUTH is stranger than FICTION.
