I was always taught that when Christ took the sins of the world apon himself while on the cross, God the Father could no longer look at him so he turned his back. Hence the cry.

That makes a nice story, but where does Christ or one of his principals say that in the Bible?

Further, how could God, as Christ, turn His back upon Himself? It makes no sense to me.

Hahahaha, I guess my only answer is that I was raised Baptist. Never knew them to hold strictly to the actual text.
