You know that He appeared in order to take away sins; and in Him there is no sin.

If HE ever sinned in any way whatsoever, it would have invalidated HIM from being our saving sacrifice for sins.

Remembering that the faith of God never ever asks why.
If He was fully a human being, that would include a less than perfect physical body and existence. Being God's son, He would have no sin counted against him, even being born into sin as the rest of us humans are. But you can't claim he was fully human and perfect too. That wouldn't be fully human. I don't think scripture claims he was fully human, so you can drop that claim and be OK.

Erm, no Jesus was perfect and sinless, as outlined by some of the Scriptures quoted by others already. And, I don't understand your comment as per the above.

Jesus was sinless before the Cross. However, when God forsook Him He became sin for us. By crying out 'why' doesn't it show that He was falling short of the glory of God by questioning His Father?

Jesus lived on Earth as a man although He was God in human flesh. He overcame all temptations by walking in the Spirit after He was baptized with the Spirit at the River Jordan. However, on the Cross He was forsaken by His Father and cried out why...(more to come)

Jesus was fully man and fully God.

Those scriptures concern Jesus before He was forsaken by His Father

No.
He did not become sin (sorry someone or many deceived you there).

Read Psalms 22:1, in fact, the whole chapter. It is a prophetic picture of the crucifixion, even to these words:

My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me? Why are You so far from helping Me, And from the words of My groaning?

Even Judas was chosen to fulfill prophecy.

I've read your posts so far, and do not agree with you, sorry.

Yes, He was sinless before His Father forsook Him

At least now I have pieced together what you are trying to say - that you believe Jesus sinned because he questioned his Father at the Cross. However this is incorrect and I think you are a bit confused.

Jesus, in the depth of his anguish on the cross, cried out to God 'Father, why have you forsaken me?'
I don't know how you then make the leap to say that Jesus himself then sinned. This is not true.

Where do you get this idea that questioning God is sin? The Bible is full of accounts of people questioning God about all sorts of things. That in itself is not sin. It all depends on the context of the questioning and the motive of the heart. Jesus' cry was out of deep, deep anguish and being torn apart from the love of his heavenly Father by the agonising experience of spiritually bearing the burden of mankind's sin.

He also agonised over going to the cross before he did so, in the garden of Gethsemane, when he cried out to God to take the burden away from him, but then told God His will be done.

Jesus Christ did not sin by crying out to God on the cross. We all cry out to God if we are in physical and/or spiritual agony (if we are His true children). It's a human response to suffering and Jesus was, at the end of the day, human as well as God incarnate.

God, who knows the beginning from the end, yes? or no? If He asks why then He is not God?

But the God kind of faith never ever asks why because God is the Alpha and Omega.
