Is it “Good” to question your beliefs ??? Are you a Doubting Thomas ?
Come and See ....
Today is Good Friday (Yom Shee-Shee) -- יוֹם שִׁישִׁי
Matthew 27: 46 "And toward the ninth hour Yeshua cried with a loud voice in Aramaic "Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?" which means,
“My God, My God, Why have you Forsaken me...?”
If Jesus is God, why does he call out to God ????
Jesus is NOT calling out to God, he is not asking why God has forsaken him ....
He is not calling to God, he is simply quoting from Psalm 22. So if you go now and read Psalm 22 and Isaiah 53 you will see this Clearly.
Not only that. Come and see...
Jesus points you to Psalm 22 so that when you read the very 1st line you will find his Name
ישׁוּעָ .... go look. (You need to read Hebrew)
Psalm 22 (English and Hebrew) The word YeShuaH / Salvation / Jesus is there in the 1st line .. ישׁוּעָ (Salvation)
My God, my God, why have You forsaken me? [You are] far from my salvation [and] from the words of my moaning. באֵלִי אֵלִי לָמָה עֲזַבְתָּנִי רָחוֹק מִישׁוּעָתִי דִּבְרֵי שַׁאֲגָתִי:
Do you see it ? Read it again in Hebrew (right to left) :
My God, my God, why have You Forsaken me? You are far from " ישׁוּעָ / Y'ShuAH "
from the words of my moaning."
Pslam 22: http://www.chabad.org/library/bible_cdo/aid/16243/jewish/Chapter-22.htm
Isaiah 53: http://www.chabad.org/library/bible_cdo/aid/15984
1Who would have believed our report, and to whom was the arm of the Lord revealed? אמִי הֶאֱמִין לִשְׁמֻעָתֵנוּ וּזְרוֹעַ יְהֹוָה עַל מִי נִגְלָתָה:
2And he came up like a sapling before it, and like a root from dry ground, he had neither form nor comeliness; and we saw him that he had no appearance. Now shall we desire him? בוַיַּעַל כַּיּוֹנֵק לְפָנָיו וְכַשֹּׁרֶשׁ מֵאֶרֶץ צִיָּה לֹא תֹאַר לוֹ וְלֹא הָדָר וְנִרְאֵהוּ וְלֹא מַרְאֶה וְנֶחְמְדֵהוּ:
3Despised and rejected by men, a man of pains and accustomed to illness, and as one who hides his face from us, despised and we held him of no account. גנִבְזֶה וַחֲדַל אִישִׁים אִישׁ מַכְאֹבוֹת וִידוּעַ חֹלִי וּכְמַסְתֵּר פָּנִים מִמֶּנּוּ נִבְזֶה וְלֹא חֲשַׁבְנֻהוּ:
4Indeed, he bore our illnesses, and our pains-he carried them, yet we accounted him as plagued, smitten by God and oppressed. דאָכֵן חֳלָיֵנוּ הוּא נָשָׂא וּמַכְאֹבֵינוּ סְבָלָם וַאֲנַחְנוּ חֲשַׁבְנֻהוּ נָגוּעַ מֻכֵּה אֱלֹהִים וּמְעֻנֶּה:
5But he was pained because of our transgressions, crushed because of our iniquities; the chastisement of our welfare was upon him, and with his wound we were healed. הוְהוּא מְחֹלָל מִפְּשָׁעֵנוּ מְדֻכָּא מֵעֲוֹנוֹתֵינוּ מוּסַר שְׁלוֹמֵנוּ עָלָיו וּבַחֲבֻרָתוֹ נִרְפָּא לָנוּ:
