Not a problem, it can certainly happen on a fast paced forum.

Very good point!

Selene, I am in agreement with Lamsa, that was my point in starting the thread. My first question was, "... if most here believe that Jesus is God, how on earth can you live with the errant translation of Matt 27:46, Mark 15:34??" Exactly! Tom, you should really look at my first...

Excellent AG! This was my point, however I was hoping that more would take the time to see that Jesus could NOT have said "why have you forsaken me".

Let me ask again, Have you ever read Matt 27:46 or Mark 15:34 in the Aramaic Peshita or the Hebrew Matthew?

I appreciate the comment but it is just speculation as Scripture neither bears out this connection nor does it support the transliteration of the two verses.

Absolutely! Have you ever read Matt 27:46 or Mark 15:34 in the Aramaic Peshita or the Hebrew Matthew or Lamsa? Not close enough to Psalm 22, and besides, trace the supposed connection to Psalm 22? Who was the first to come up with the connection?

I have a question, if most here believe that Jesus is God, how on earth can you live with the errant translation of Matt 27:46, Mark 15:34??

It's a Th.D. Jacob and I have already apologized to the forum for appearing to be superior in any way, which was never my intent. I even changed my sign in name so that others would not be as offended as you seem to be. I came here because I thought this was a Christian forum where folks could...

I agree that God is THE One Supreme Being, the creator and ruler of the universe You also said that Jesus is God citing the Scriptures you gave me. However you had also told me that you did NOT believe that Jesus is The Father. Now, I understand the term God to mean, The Father is THE One...

Don't quit on me now Ducky!! Don't be rude Jacob. At least Ducky answered my question as to what understands about the word God.

OK. Since you say that Jesus is God, what I believe you are really saying is He, (Jesus), is THE One Supreme Being, the creator and ruler of the universe.
