Here are some Bible verses where Jesus refers to God as "God" or "Father":

1. *Matthew 27:46*: "About three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, 'Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?' which means 'My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?'"
2. *Mark 15:34*: "And at three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, 'Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?' which means 'My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?'"
3. *John 20:17*: "Jesus said, 'Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, "I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God."'"
4. *Matthew 26:39*: "Going a little farther, he fell to the ground and prayed, 'My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.'"

When Christians call Muslims head slammers.I just laugh at their Ignorance.
They don't know that their JESUS is number 1 head slammer lolz..look at Matthew 26:39

Thanks for the exposition

But dust and ash are not really the same thing, are they?

So, I think they should rather call it Dust Wednesday

What do you think?

1. *Matthew 27:46*: "About three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, 'Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?' which means 'My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?'"
2. *Mark 15:34*: "And at three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, 'Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?' which means 'My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?'"
3. *John 20:17*: "Jesus said, 'Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, "I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God."'"
4. *Matthew 26:39*: "Going a little farther, he fell to the ground and prayed, 'My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.'"

1. Jesus was echoing this Psalm to fulfil the Messianic prophecy. He fulfilled this Messianic psalm on the cross:
Psalms 22:1,15-18
[1](To the chief Musician upon Aijeleth Shahar, A Psalm of David.) My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?
[15]My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death.
[16]For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.
[17]I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me.
[18]They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.

2. Same question and same answer.
3. jesus the incarnation of God in flesh must acknowledge the father as his God so as not to sin against the laws of God. He's without sin and must observe every laws. Jeremiah 32:27
[27]Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?.
JESUS as flesh must reverr the incorporeal God as his God, not because he's not of the same nature but to fulfil all righteousness.
The bible tells us that JESUS was of equal status and nature with God but he put off that glory to come to this earth as a slave so as to save us from sins.
Philippians 2:5-8
[5]Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
[6]Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
[7]But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
[8]And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

4. I don't know what point you're trying to bring out from the verse you quoted in your number 4 point but the common dawagandists polemics to it is that 1). Jesus has a God which I have refuted in question one. 2). Jesus has a different mind from God, JESUS had 2 nature which is the nature of man and the nature of God. Though this two natures are united mysteriously and makes him one being such that when the human nature feels pains the God nature in him experience that pain too and the emotion is felt as one being. The doctrine is called "COMMUNICATIO IDIOMATIUM" in Christianity. How the nature of Christ communicate with eachother not verbally but nature intertwining such that when Jesus sleeps as a human the divine nature in him experience that sleep. We can't explain the science in it but we know and we're certain that it is TRUE. Number 3). Objection to this question is that Jesus prayed. Sure Jesus prayed to the father, the father also prays to the Son and vice versa. Genesis 1:26
[26]And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. Genesis 1:26
[26]And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

Lord and God are they the same mean?

And let assumed, he said Jesus Christ is God. I don't think, it should be your headache.

Religion is personal. If he chooses to hold his own faith like that, I think that should be his problem.

You're indoctrinated that's why you're generalising it upon everybody. You don't need fasting to repent. Fasting is just for the purpose of subjecting your flesh, away from worldly pleasures, to the fullness of God.

Catholic means universal. It's not a denominational church. Winners , Roman Catholic, Orthodox Syriac church can be classified as catholic(universal) church. You don't need to join Roman Catholic to be part of Catholic (Universal) church as far as you and a group of people come together under the lordship of Christ.

Revelation 13:8
[8]And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the LAMB SLAIN FROM THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD.

JESUS WAS SACRIFICED IN THE SPIRITUAL REALM FROM THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD, HE ONLY CAME TO ACT THE SCENES ON EARTH.
HIS PRAYERS WAS ALSO A SCENE THAT ALREADY HAS TAKEN PLACE IN THE ETERNITY THAT HE ONLY CAME TO FULFIL.
