I'm not super duper knowledgeable about this subject but I would guess God the Father forsook him because of the fact that he was made to be sin for us (according to 2 Corinthians 5:21) and God the Father could not have sin in his presence.
So then you believe that the Trinity was fractured and there were two gods at one point in time? If so, Jesus says that the Lord our God is one Lord (Mark 12:29). Jesus did not prophesy how God would be two lords because of what would happen at the cross. You said you are not super knowledgable about this subject. Yet, we are told to study to show ourselves approved unto God (
2 Timothy 2:15 KJB). Meaning, I would encourage you to read more Psalms 22 and see why our Lord was quoting from that Psalm instead of latching on to what you want to be true, my friend.
You said:
By the way I don't think you're even saved because you promote works salvation.
Your words imply that I do not believe in grace for salvation. If so, thank you for the false slander, and I will rejoice in God my Savior who saves me by His grace. I don't believe we can be saved by “
Works ALONE Salvationism without God's grace” (Which is what the apostle Paul fought against because of the heresy of those who thought they had to be first circumcised to be saved - See: Acts of the Apostles 15:1, Acts of the Apostles 15:5, Acts of the Apostles 15:24, and Galatians 5:2).
Now, while I do believe the Bible clearly teaches that after we are saved by the gospel (Which is believing that Christ died for our sins, He was buried, and He was risen three days later - 1 Corinthians 15:1-4), we need to also answer the call of the gospel in 2 Thessalonians 2:13-14. This call is... God has chosen us to salvation through Sanctification of the Spirit and a belief of the truth. For why else would the apostle Paul tell us to work out our salvation with fear and trembling? (See: Philippians 2:12). For why else would the apostle Paul tell us to fight the good fight of faith and lay hold on eternal life? (See: 1 Timothy 6:12). For why else would the apostle Paul tell us that vain deceivers can deny God by being reprobate unto every good work? (See: Titus 1:16). For why else would the apostle Paul say that there is no condemnation to those in Christ Jesus who WALK NOT AFTER THE FLESH (SIN) but who walk after the Spirit? (See: Romans 8:1). For Paul says, if you live after the flesh (sin), you will die, but if you mortify (put to death) the deeds of the body (sin) by the Spirit, you shall live (Romans 8:13). This is in reference to salvation because... the works of the flesh are told to us in Galatians 5:19-21. For Paul says: “Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are
these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told
you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.” Notice that Paul says the works of the flesh are various sins and that they which do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
The apostle Paul basically said that if any man does not agree with the words of Jesus Christ and the doctrine according to godliness, he is proud and he knows nothing (See: 1 Timothy 6:3-4). James 4:6 says God resists the proud and gives grace to the humble (James 4:6). Jesus clearly taught that if we are to enter into life, we have to keep the commandments (Matthew 19:17-19). This would not be the entirety of the Old Law or the Mosaic Law (i.e. the 613 Laws of Moses) as a whole or package deal. The Old Law is no more as a contract. We are not under things like the Saturday Sabbath, circumcision, dietary laws, and holy days. New Covenant believers were never under these kinds of things because they were laws given to Israel. We are to follow the commands that come from Jesus and His followers. But the point I wanted to make here is that Jesus clearly taught that we must do things to enter God's kingdom. For Jesus agreed with the lawyer that to love God and to love your neighbor is a part of inheriting eternal life (See: Luke 10:25-28). Jesus warned how various sins can destroy our souls like looking upon a woman in lust (Matthew 5:28-30), not forgiving others (Matthew 6:15), being condemned by our words (Matthew 12:37), not helping the poor (Matthew 25:31-46) (Luke 10:25-37), not preaching the gospel (Luke 9:62).
In fact, the apostle John adds that to not love your brother and to not do righteousness means one is not of God (1 John 3:10). Can a person not be of God and be saved? Surely not. In fact, the apostle John says if you hate your brother you are like a murderer and no murderer has eternal life abiding in him (1 John 3:15).
Jesus says cast the unprofitable servant into outer darkness where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth (See: Matthew 25:30). Yet, the servant who was faithful over a few things was told to enter the joy of His Lord (Matthew 25:21). I quoted all of these verses by heart (Without having to confirm what they say). For I know what they say. Do you? You should know them and make them known instead of believing something you want to be true outside of God's Holy Word (The Bible), my friend.
Notice the words of Jesus below.
“And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.” (John 5:29).
It does not say that they that have done nothing but believe on the finished work of the cross will come forth unto the resurrection of life. The verse says, “
they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life;” The verse also says that they who have done evil will come forth unto the resurrection of damnation.
The apostle Paul says, “For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law:” (Romans 2:12). So even if you think you are not under the Law, we can still perish for sinning without having the Law (i.e. the Old Law). For we are not under the Old Law, but we are under the commands that come from Jesus and His apostles. For Paul says that we are to regard what he has written as the commandments of the Lord (1 Corinthians 14:37). Do you disregard or despise the commandments of God?
Lets read to what happens to those who do his commands at the end chapter of your Bible.
“Blessed
are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.” (Revelation 22:14).
Notice. It does not say blessed are those who did not do his commandments but trusted in the finished work of the cross. It says blessed are those who do his commandments that they may right to the tree of life and enter through the gates into the city. For what is outside the city?
“For without
are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.” (Revelation 22:15).
Jesus said that everyone who does not do what He says is like a fool who built His house upon the sand, and when a storm came, great was the fall of that house (Matthew 7:26-27).
In Matthew 13:41-42, we learn that the Son of Man (JESUS) will send forth his angels and they will gather out of HIS KINGDOM (Christ's kingdom) all who offend and who do iniquity (sin) and they will be cast into the furnace of fire (i.e. the Lake of Fire).
Jesus says those who do not receive His words those words will judge us on the last day (John 12:48).
So I will end with saying this to you:
“Follow peace with all
men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord: Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble
you, and thereby many be defiled;” (Hebrews 12:14-15).
