That should say "unforsaken" not "unforgiven".
I wouldn't say either or, depending on the individual.
From my perspective;
Meaning:
Death like most words in scripture have a double Understanding:
Man's; physical Bodily mortal Death
Gods; ^ Same and also; per context
* sleep- a temporary Bodily death
* death- any part of man- body, soul, spirit of man (alive physically or dead physically) separated from God.
* Every Individual body- has its own Life-
Blood
* Every Individual body- has its own spirit-
Truth
(In its heart)...a constant Truth.
*Every Individual body- has its own thoughts-
Mind
(Can be in harmony with the heart, or deceiving and quite opposite of the Heart...
Which spiritually results in frustration and physically can lead to a whole array of clinically identified ailments)
* Every Individual body- has Life from God-
Soul
God offers a man- promises, order, way- to Become MADE- what He calls WHOLE- which is: an Offering, from God
is: Dependant upon an Individual:
* to Hear, Know the Offer Exists
* Learn what the Offer entails
* Decide IF he Agrees with the Offering
* Decide IF he Wants to Accept the Offering
* Follow the WAY (how to) Accept the Offering.
All Blood LIFE Will Die.
* a man can simply wait for that to happen.
* a man can choose to Offer his known bodily upcoming death..To God.
(Paralleled with a man Willing to Give "his" life, so that an other can continue Living).
* The Forgiveness- preludes the Order (via Repenting) of one Giving their Life .. TO God.
* The Repenting- To God, is the HIGHLIGHT.
Man is naturally Born "NOT" Knowing, Believing, Loving God.
* Man HAS, Life from Gods Breath- Soul in him.
* Man's condition, from Natural Birth, (unknowing) God, Effects the Condition "negatively" of The soul within the man.
A Mystery of Sorts-
Holy Breath of God, in a soul, in a man, that such man IS Corrupt FLESH, "not with", NOT in harmony With God.
It is man's recognition - to Repent for having had, natural Disbelief...a Corrupt body, having that body's Corrupt influence over the soul.
It is the individuals Willingness to Hear and Learn:
That Begins Gods Response: (ORDER)
Enlightment of Gods Truth...
Blessing from God...measures of His Gift of Faith.
(Man who continues hearing...continues, RECEIVING)
It is the individuals Confessing, Acknowledging, Repenting...asking for forgiveness...
That Begins Gods Response to the man by the man Receiving Gods Forgiveness...and Saving the soul (from "being" Corrupt (separated from God).
(The man Deciding to Give his Body...having his Spirit quickened...etc. are all part of the ORDER and WAY...(of what ALL His Offer entails) and often is Rolled into the man's One Accepting Event, ceremony, whatever you want to call it)...yet it has a precise Order and Way.
When a man Has Received Salvation of the SOUL within him...His Flesh Body IS Still Subject TO Physical Death.
As a Physical Body IS Approaching Physical Death...The Living Soul (Saved or Not) departs out from the Body.
In Those Few seconds...
The Mind of that individual, can still have thoughts...(some claim a fast frame of ones Whole Life or thinking of their family they love).
And I believe a man with a Saved soul And Quickened spirit And Spirit of God And Mind like Christ (meaning his Minds thoughts have become subject to his hearts "spirit" thought...
has flash acknowledgement...to put in simple terms...uh hey, where's Gods Spirit in me, where's my Saved soul, where's my Quickened spirit....that has departed my dying (NOT yet Dead) Body.
It clear Gods Life, God Himself or Life He has put in a Vessel...does not Dwell IN a physically Dead thing....Gods LIFE leaves, departs JUST Before the thing (alive body and mindful thoughts ) physically Dies.
I believe Jesus taught by Word and Example.
As Jesus' Body was "DYING", he Revealed his thought for our benefit, to comprehend...at the seconds a mans Physical Body is about to Physically Die...he will be Mindfully aware his soul, spirit and Gods Spirit has Departed his body.
Jesus revealed it as a Flash Thought and used the word "forsaken", which means: Left, Departed.
That word "Forsaken" can also mean "abandoned".
It's a word typically understood as a Negative thing.
My understanding in this scenario, is moreso as a Positive thing. Not "abandoned", but rather God "claiming, taking unto Himself, the very thing I agreed to Give Him".
I believe Jesus was demonstrating...
* in a matter of a few seconds the mind can process the departure of his soul, spirit, Gods Spirit and Have an immediate Minds reaction of huh, what just happened, where are you, and before reasoning, The Body becomes physically dead.
Point being...is a (Converted) man's Body in the process of physically dying...forsaken?
Well...Gods Does Leave/Depart that dying (but yet still alive Body)...
But it is Not an Abandomemt, but rather a Claiming by God.
And the BODY, called in context, SLEEP, denoting, intended to be Raised, in An Eternal Life state.
Glory to God,
Taken
