>>Did you ever answer the question: Is Jesus God?<<

Do Catholics not read responses to them? Jesus was fully man and fully God.

Isaiah 9:6 - For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

John 20:28 - And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.

John 8:58 - Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.

Is that enough? There are more if your not convinced.

Now that we have that cute diversion out of the way.

God did not die. Now explain the next verse to me.

Matthew 27:46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?<<

That is more than enough. It is agreed that Jesus was fully man and fully God.

Now, did Jesus die as man and as God? Was the incarnate Christ a single entity; at once God and man? Or does the Nestorian doctrine hold true; that the Divine and the human were two separate entities. Even so, would it have been sufficient for Christ to die only in His human form? Or was it necessary for Christ to die in His divinity, that is, as God, in order to redeem us from our sins.In Luke 24, Jesus says to the two disciples, “Behooved it not the Christ to suffer these things, and to enter into his glory?” I believe Christ is at once God and man. And I believe that it was necessary for Christ to die in His divinity in order to redeem us from our sins.

As to Psalm 22. The witnesses were saying that He was invoking Elijah. Was He doing that? Did He truly believe the Father had abandoned Him? Was He interpreting what referred to him in the Psalm? I don’t think he was calling Himself a worm. Other than that, I don’t know.
