Pain of new creation.

The heart cry of Jesus that is translated “why have you forsaken me” is prophesied in Psalm 22:1.  The picture is clear:  A person who is in dire straits and can bring no help in spite of a desperate outcry.  It is certainly a common human condition and the need for relief is real.  The danger of stating that the Father turned His pristine back on His son is that it opens the way for satanic doctrines that denounce the true divinity of Jesus.  If the real God is in sparkling clean heaven while the “almost” God is suffering under sin then the doctrine of the trinity is threatened by the anti-anthropomorphic lies of Greek philosophy. These lies become a springboard for those who claim a pre-destination that precludes the cross. The CROSS...the place to enter into the new creation that the Father, Son and Holy Spirit have been diligently working to provide since Adam and Eve had figs for breakfast one fatal morning.
