“On the Cross the Jesus of the Four Gospels, who was God, cried out My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? God cannot forsake himself, Jesus was God himself. Yet God forsook Jesus, and the latter cried out to know why he was forsaken. Any able divine will explain that of course he knew, and that he was not forsaken. The explanation renders it difficult to believe the dying cry, and the passage becomes one of the mysteries of the holy Christian religion, which, unless a man rightly believe, without doubt he shall perish everlastingly.” KnowsMenBelieveAbleChristianCoursesJesusDifficultDoubtFourMysteryAtheismDyingCryDivineHolyCrossesPositive AtheismExplanationLatterPassagesCriedForsakeForsakenDivine Will Book:Why do Men Starve?
