Stop Misreading the Bible: Jesus never said, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" (Mark 15: 34). First Edition.
Jesus never said, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" (Mark 15: 34). God has never forsaken anyone, especially his son.
The real "crucifixion" of Jesus is us, God's consciousness, on us, our bodies. Two thousand years ago in Palestine there was a peripheral Jewish culture of "Jesus," people who understood this and expected that Yah (God), i.e., Yah Shua, whom we call Jesus, would save them from whatever was going to happen.
God bless the man who wrote the Gospel of Mark, the Report of Jesus. The Gospel was a wonderful device for sharing this culture's perspective and great faith. At the end of the report, Mark added a summary of what he had been talking about, the passion of Jesus, wherein we presently read, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" This is a very misleading mistranslation, and I do not believe Mark intended anything even remotely like it.
It is a weird doctrine, for sure. It leads us to believe that God incarnate, the Federal Head of humanity, took upon himself the sins of the world and, scourged and crucified bearing our punishment for them, God the Father turned his back on him in utter rejection--the punishment we rightly deserve.
Victor Alexander (see v-a.com/bible) points out that all other translators, like the Jews at Jesus' feet, have misheard and thus misunderstood what Mark actually said. The ancient Aramaic text says, "My God, my God, wherefore have you destined me?" meaning, "this was my destiny." He was talking about God's ultimate PLAN, not his ultimate rejection.
"Jesus Christ" is life itself, the power and wisdom (active consciousness) of God within us. As Jesus Christ, we were with God (and were God) before we became us. We have a plan to become man, which finished product we have created in design but have not yet produced. Man-as-us needs to be generated, and not-there-yet man needs to be redeemed from all his features not like us--the image has to be perfected over time. The symbolic measure for the completion of this generation is three days. It takes three days in "death," the state of ignorant man, to complete perfection.
And who is going to culture ignorant man to generate the likeness of God, of us, in him? We are. "This was my destiny" is a statement of faith, a good report. By this faith we defeated all enemies--every doubt.
As God's e'had consciousness, we contemplated a human whom we should become, and by this right attitude, listening to what, in mind, we said, we launched ourselves into a child's animation.
"We call not out loud, but by an inner effort of intense attention: to listen attentively, as though you heard, is to create" (Neville Goddard, “Mental Diets”). Thus we found ourselves as a child, that the man we became might become God. We shall redeem every one.
Could we ever turn our backs on ourselves, or on the children we have become? Perish the thought. That is not the kind of God we are. It may take time to perfect the generation, but we shall bear every child to the resurrection from the dead--every single one. We will not return void but shall accomplish that for which we were sent. Our name, our nature, after all, is Jesus Christ.
Note: My second edition of this post is fuller but also more challenging.
