2: Jesus cried out "My God! My God! Why Have You Forsaken Me!?" While Hanging On The Cross.

Matthew 27 records this. Highly improbable Matthew would make up this saying and put it into Jesus' mouth since it makes it look like Jesus doesn't trust the Father, and it makes it look like Jesus forgot His mission.

Why did Jesus say this? He quoted the first verse of Psalm 22 verbatim. This is a messianic Psalm according to most biblical scholars. When you cross-examine (pun intended) Psalm 22 with what happened to Jesus in the gospels' crucifixion narratives, the similarities are shocking! I'll let you compare them yourself.

3: Jesus Was Called "The King Of The Jews"

Plaque nailed above Jesus' head read "King Of The Jews". Recorded in Mark

    Hi Oregenies, # 11: "Arguing against Rossitter and Dennett is as easy as taking candy from a baby." First, take the 'candy' away from the God of Sinai, His words written in stone, a divine law - He created in six days? If under that law, on which a nation was formed round in Sabbath worship: is seriously wrong, what does that say of Jesus, who as God in terms of the belief in the Holy Trinity, spoke and wrote that law?…

    Wednesday, pgs 105-110: The question was answered to who crucified Jesus and why, but there is one more question that is more spiritual… What was the meaning to all of it? God, of course, could have stopped Jesus from being killed, and so Jesus could have if he proclaimed himself as the Son of God. There is a deeper meaning to Jesus’ Passion and death- he did it for humanity! He died on the suffered and died on the cross so that humanity could be saved from the horrors of death.…

    It is because of the similarities between the Gospel of John and the Gospel of Thomas that there is the opinion that the Gospel of Thomas is a second century work. There are definitively a few similarities to the Pauline theology. In the Pauline theology Jesus died for our sins but not in the Gospel of Thomas. A similarity that there is between the Gospel of Thomas and Paul is that they both care for the hungry.4…

    To me, Jesus is the Bridegroom. I have this image from reading the Bible, spiritual books, saint stories, homilies and lectures from different bible scholars such as Scott Hahn. Through all these basic knowledge, I've learned that from the beginning of the Bible to the end has always mentioned that God wants to be wed with us. The Bible tells the story of God the Father’s love for us and His plan to gather all into one holy family. God unfolds His plan of salvation through a series of covenants and it climaxes in the New Covenant which is in Jesus Christ.…

    The three passion predictions in the Gospel Of Mark have very similar structures. They each talk about the Son of Man suffering at the hands of other men and eventually dying then being resurrected after three days. Additionally, they also talk about how his followers were unable to comprehend what he was saying. In the first prediction found in Mark 8:31-33 Jesus tells “them” referring to his disciples that “The Son of Man must suffer greatly and be rejected by elders, the chief priests and the scribes”.…

    Early Authorship

    • 1588 Words
    • 7 Pages

    Internal Evidence of Early Authorship All of the New Testament was written in the first century. Some scholars date them toward the middle and others toward the end. Usually, the late dating of the gospels is based on knowledge and predictions around the destruction of the temple. That is since some do not believe in the message of the New Testament––they do not believe Jesus could predict future events––and so the gospels must have been written after AD 70 if they predict these events.…

    No other gospel mentions the disciples or Jesus. Although it is the shortest of the four other parables, it packs the most imagery. Matthew and Luke are the most similar of the four gospels not only in length, but also in tone. They both use hypothetical language to emphasis that the seed has not actually been sown, but if it was to be sown, then it would be compared to the Kingdom of God.…

    Explanation: After this, Pilate had Jesus scourged. The soldiers put on him a purple robe, crowned him with a crown of thorns, and called him the King of the Jews, hitting him and mocking him. So Pilate again brought Jesus before the people and showed him to them, telling them that he had found nothing wrong in him. But the Jewish rulers cried for his blood. Pilate, frustrated, told them to crucify him themselves because he found no fault in him.…
