Was Jesus forsaken by his Father?

<< < (2/2)

Isaiah9Six:
Good day Fat and BB, I appreciate your thoughts concerning Jesus, the Father and the cross. As we study this interesting topic it's easy to begin running down different rabbit trails and forget what it is we're studying. Did the Father turn away from his Son when he hung on the cross because the sins of the world were on him? I have used scripture to show that the Father never left his Son (Psalm 22 and John 16).

In response the topic changed from Jesus not being forsaken but rather the sin that was on him caused God to forsake, and that was sort of confusing to me. I mean how could Jesus be the spotless Lamb that has no sin, and at the same time have sins on him?

It was me that began the discussion about substitutionary atonement, forgive me for getting us off track. I'll begin a new post on that when I finish here.

Concerning Psalm 22 consider if you will verse 24; For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from him; but when he cried unto him, he heard.

There we have David who by the way was inspired, saying that God did not hide his face towards the afflicted, meaning Christ. Since it nowhere says that God actually turned away we must conclude that what Jesus was doing was using Psalm 22 to draw attention to the cross as I stated in my original post.

Our loving Savior never failed to take every opportunity to teach and that is what he was doing there.

Consider what I say......

Fat:
If all you want is an answer to the question and not an explanation of the verse then NO, is your answer.
