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.

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

It's not clear to me why Jesus would have had to take on the sins of the world. In my view, God is all powerful and can forgive sins without the necessity of Jesus or anyone else dying for the sins of the world. Your theology seems to imply a view that God is limited by concepts of human jurisprudence. I do not share that view.

The Lord's Prayer, for example, implies the idea of divine forgiveness without the idea of a sacrificial death by a God-man.
