When God died?

 


Matthew 27:45-46 Authorized King James Version [AKJV]:  “Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour.  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?”.  Comparative scriptures from the gospels: Mark 15:41-32; Luke 23:26-49 and John 19:17-27

Sidebar: Different writers of the gospels [so called not as we have now in this the dispensation of the grace of God Ephesians 3:1-7] wrote from different perspectives as the Holy Spirit directed [2 Timothy 3:16-17].   

Sidebar:  Could the Centurion of Matt 27:54, Mark 15:39 and Luke 23:47 be the same as recorded in Acts 10 by Peter?  It is most possible.  

Sidebar:  The darkness as I understand it is the absence of Gods presence as seen in 2nd Thessalonians 1:8-10. Also concerning g darkness see Exodus 10:21-29, Matthew 6:23 concerning both physical and spiritual darkness as in John 3:19-21.    

Jewish time; 6PM to 6AM [12 hours night].  6AM to 6PM [12 hours day]; Jesus was three hours on the cross separated from God his Father receiving God’s wrath for all the sin of the world [John 1:29].  Note, in Mark 15:25 it is noted as the third hour, most likely 9AM was when the crucifixion started and at the 6th hour 12 noon Gods Spirit left Jesus alone until the ninth hour.  Definition of “forsaken”.  To renounce, or to turn away from  entirely {Websters Collegiate, 11th Edition © 2014].  Forsaken:  {1}To give up [something formerly held dear] renounce; {2} To leave altogether, abandon. {thefreedictionary.com}.  Then see the Thesaurus for the word “forsaken”. 

\To me I understand that God departed His Christ [see Genesis 22:8] i.e. Jesus of Nazareth.  2 Corinthians 5:19 “To wit, that God was in Christ reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation;”  Continuing then; God departed/separated from Christ for those three hours on the cross while Jesus in his now humanity bore the sin of the whole world in his now spiritually dead body.  I would have one to inquire at “Can God be in the presence of Sin?  #3 Post of 2010” via your browser on the internet.    

As not to compel ones beliefs I would have one to read the following scriptures so as to come their own decision.   

“For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:”  Romans 8:3

“For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.”  Hebrews 4:15

“Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man”  James 1:13

 “For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: by which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison;” 1 Peter 3:18-19

“For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.”  2 Corintrhians 5:21

All of Psalms 31

Sidebar:  God then removing Himself from Christ, how did Jesus know when to say “it is finished”?  I believe that the Holy Spirit told Christ when the wrath of God was satisfied and then said “And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost.” Luke 23:46. Supporting passages that will also help are: “It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.” John 6:63

“Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.” John 8:28

Rightly dividing scripture correctly is vital in all Bible studies, but especially concerning this question.  It’s on you to pray, read, meditate and discern God’s truth.  Paul prayed for believers in Ephesians 1:15-23.

Which Body?

  2 Corinthians 5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things  done  in  his  body, according to that he hath done, whether  it be  good or bad. Ephesians 4:4 There is  one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; The word “body” has many definitions.   In 2 Corinthians 5:10, Strong’s #4983 defines body as “used in a very wide application”. First look at 2 Corinthians 5:10, and remove the italics.   Italics are not scripture but an addition made by the King James translators to make the flow of or the reading of easier.   So, without the italics;   “ For we must all appear before the judgement seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things in body, according to that he hath done, whether good or bad.   My question was how do I define this word “body”.   Is it the physical body or as per Ephesians 4:4a; “...

Do what to be saved?

Acts 16:29-31 Authorized King James Version [AKJV]:   'Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas, And brought them out, and said Sirs, what must I do to be saved?   And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house."   The question that has plagued man thought out history; what must one believe to be saved?   Believe the gospel which is what?   " Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; by which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:" 1Corinthains 15:1-4.   To believe that t...

Who Provides?

JEHOVAH-JIREH In Hebrew “JEHOVA-JIREH is defined as “The L ORD my Provider”.   The word “provider” as used here isn’t a given.   The item being provided must be believed to be authentic and is capable of doing what is promised. Until one believes God [ But without faith  it is  impossible to please  him:  for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and  that  he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Heb 11:6] no spiritual and little physical profit is gained.   First then, what must one believe? That God is and what He says to an individual is important, is truth,   [Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word  is truth. John 17:17]. Next, that He is faithful to do as promised [ God  is  faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.   1 Cor 1:9          There hath no temptation taken you but such as is...
