Did God forsake His Son in His last moments?
wat:
Marques and John are right on point. I'd also like to add Psalm 22:24.
"For he has not despised or abhorred the affliction of the afflicted, and he has not hidden his face from him, but has heard, when he cried to him." (ESV)
santgem:
John 12: 29 The Father gave Me commandments what I speak and say.
John 14:10 The Father that dwells in Me, He does the works.
John 14:24 The word that you hear is not Mine but the Father’s.
With that, GOD did not forsake His Son Jesus!
eagle:
"...My God my God why hast thou forsaken me"
The word that is translated "forsaken" is the greek "egkataleipō",
which is made up of the two words "en" and "kataleipo"
"kataleipo" in Strongs definition means: "to leave"
Could it be that the question Jesus asks " My God my God, why has thou left me" He himself answers in the Scriptures ?
Gen 2:24 Therefore shall a man leave (kataleipo) his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh
Is there a spritual match in the New Testament?
Ephesians 5:31-32 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.
Since the other posters have written their opinion, I thought I could too, so I just did :)

Jesus was prophesying those words from David to those around Him, they could not see that He was their God and He spoke "why have you(those there,) why have you forsaken me."
At least in that way I can understand, maybe. Where I never understood that verse at all before.

Once one considers and realizes that Jesus was quoting Psa. 22, speaking the prophecy as the way the Messiah must die, and not having dialouge or asking a question, it must become clear as to what was recorded. Jesus, Jehovah, the Lord God, was NEVER in anyway forsaken or left alone.

Found an un matched match regarding your understanding of The Lord leaving us....
Heb 13:5 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
