"This has been used several times now and let me simply say that there has only been one person throughout history that truly was separated from God. He had a right to say it."

What is that supposed to mean? If Jesus was God, how could he have thought he was forsaken by God? Your theology turns Jesus into a neurotic, a man who is God but feels separated and alienated from God. Can you explain that for me?

You're getting into mysteries of the Trinity. How could Christ, being God, be raised by God? How could He descend into hell? How could God the Father turn His back on God the Son? These, and more, have always been a mystery within Christianity. All we know is that it happened and this has always been the teaching of the Church.

For us, however, God's presences is all around us. We just have to open our eyes.

When JESUS took on the sins of the world was he still connected to God the Father?
