Matthew 27:46 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?What scripture did he use to support that the Father turned and could not look?

Right there was the peak of the Cross, as right there Jesus propitiated/atoned for our sins!Matthew 27:46 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?
I can't think of any thing more dreadful than to be separated from God. I know Jesus was paying for our sins but the whole thing pleased God not because of His pain but because Christ was faithful to the end in spite of the painMatthew 27:46 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?
Eternal state, even though JW and Sda want it otherwise!
Jesus' soul dying on the cross while yet conscious is evidence of the eternal suffering of dead souls in the lake of fire.It's heresy to say Christ took on second death.
Habakkuk is also about Jesus Christ. The idea the passage proved God turned from Christ was always a very stupid argument that depended on stripping Christ of His deity to work.Context is important.
Habakkuk is saying God cannot look on sin and not do anything about it. He's not saying He cannot look on people who are sinning--He does that all the time. Really, quoting Habakkuk to say God the Father turned away from Jesus is ridiculous.
In my humbled opinion. The death Christ suffered was the separation of His Spirit from His flesh. I look at it like this.I do not see death of the body as anything more than a separation of flesh and Spirit. You see God is Jesus Christ :for the soul of the flesh is in the blood; ------ Who does that speak of? Who's and who's only, blood, can atone for our souls? The soul that sins,it shall die. Is that speaking of this one, the one who knew no sin, yet was made to be sin?
And the Word became flesh, and did tabernacle among us, and we beheld his glory, glory as of an only begotten of a father, full of grace and truth. John 1:14
because he hath poured out his soul unto death: from Isa 53:12
How could the Son have died for your sins, if he were not separated from the Father.
If that is what death means to you, then that is what he had to do and or be. Otherwise your sin has not been paid.
Is being separated from, being forsaken?
The Father did not forsakeHis Deity, but had to from His humanity!I can't think of any thing more dreadful than to be separated from God. I know Jesus was paying for our sins but the whole thing pleased God not because of His pain but because Christ was faithful to the end in spite of the pain
Christ may have felt all alone but I can't believe that the Father took His eye off of Christ even for a second because He was on that cross with Him.

Nope, as Jesus never ceased being God, but was also Human, and in His humanity Father forsoke Him for a time!Habakkuk is also about Jesus Christ. The idea the passage proved God turned from Christ was always a very stupid argument that depended on stripping Christ of His deity to work.
Jesus was forever united with 2 natures though in Incarnation, so theu can never be separated!In my humbled opinion. The death Christ suffered was the separation of His Spirit from His flesh. I look at it like this.I do not see death of the body as anything more than a separation of flesh and Spirit. You see God is Jesus Christ :
Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Jesus died a physical death not a Spiritual death. Neither do men die a Spiritual death when they die physically. Christ did not die a Spiritual death because He told one of the thieves that, that day he would be with Christ in paradise. We know Christ was in the grave 3 days. His body was really dead. Yet after the three days was raised from the dead. His physical body was raised as will all be raised some for judgement and we to life everlasting.

Duh. Jesus finished the atonement on the cross. John 19:28, ". . . Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, . . ."There is no torment in paradise.

If you believe in the trinity the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit and that these three are one God then there can never be a separation in God .. This old world could not exist even one minute with out God. The only separation was Jesus from His flesh. The Spirit is eternal and cannot die. If His spirit died then we are all dead. You see Life it self cannot exist with out God. He is our life.The Father did not forsakeHis Deity, but had to from His humanity!
Did I say differently?Duh. Jesus finished the atonement on the cross. John 19:28, ". . . Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, . . ."

I was referring to while upon that Cross!
There was a split in the Trinity when Jesus atoned at that Cross, as God the Father had to remain Holy and for a time separate from His own Son!If you believe in the trinity the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit and that these three are one God then there can never be a separation in God ..
