I believe too that they all had to feel the pain even though they(God and HS) may have trne away. Interesting thougts from both Eric and you Marv.

That's an incredibly profound thought. I've ...Wow. That's an incredibly profound thought. I've never thought of the cross in those terms. I tend to think that God didn't abandon Jesus on the cross, but let him endure the pain and the shame for our redemption. Jesus talked to the Father while on the cross ("Father forgive them...")<BR/><BR/>It's crazy to think that Jesus was spiritual disconnected in his last moments on earth (even the natural world darkened from it!). Jesus quotes Psalm 22 "My God, why have you forsaken me?" - For the first time in all of eternity, the Son, Spirit, and the Father were NOT one. <BR/><BR/>I think this separation was part of the agony of the cross for Christ (and what caused him so much apprehension in the garden). <BR/><BR/>Very interesting thoughts Marvin, I don't know if I have a resolution for you other than admitting that part of us understanding God's sacrifice for us means that we somehow enter in to the crucifixion and try to relate to what this sacrifice really means for us. <BR/><BR/>Makes me wonder at what point did the separation end? Death? When Jesus supposedly "descended into Hell?" (Apostles Creed). His resurrection? <BR/><BR/>Will what Jesus felt on the cross be what humans will feel for eternity if they don't accept Jesus?Erikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12661647772885121694noreply@blogger.com
