[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Paul was talking about Jesus being God around 50 AD, 20 years after Jesus’ death. In response to the claim above that somebody this up around 300AD.[/quote]

So if Jesus is God, then when he says in Mark "Father why hast thou forsaken me?" he's talking to himself? [/quote]

[b]Jesus was quoting verbatim from Psalm 22 (look it u[/b]p) which his listeners would have recognized as a lament about man’s condition. Jews at the time memorized long passages of the Bible.

And with that I’m done here. The thread topic has been answered. There was a thread about Jesus’ divinity just a week or two ago, and you undoubtedly participated heavily on it. What with bebopping from Jesus’ new covenant to a failed attempt to start a discussion on what it means for Jesus to “fulfill” the law and the prophets (also the subject of a very recent thread you undoubtedly participated on), it’s clear you want to waste our time.

But why? The fact he was quoting Psalm 22 doesn't begin to answer the question of [u]why[/u] he would quote that on the cross -- unless he was asking his Father why are you forsaking me?  I think he was questioning if the kingdom of God was really at hand after all.   It is an indication he never believed he was God, and that was all invented afterwards by some of his followers. Let's be clear: Judaism is a monotheistic religion and the Jewish Christian followers couldn't have two gods.[/quote]
