He and I can simply agree to disagree.
Not wanting to put the Jewish perception of Jesus into a nutshell, but at its root they do not consider Jesus as having fulfilled the messianic prophecies from the OT, hence was not the messiah. A Christian will of course come along and explain that all the outstanding prophecies (unite humanity as one, and the like) will be delivered in the second coming, though will struggle to find biblical support for this concept.

You were not speaking of Jewish Christians, I guess you and a few others forget that the
first Christians were Jewish alone. You don't grasp scripture, God, or who Jesus is either,
and no Jesus was no talking to Himself.

Himself?
For the benefit of those who are unable to comprehend irony, clearly the idea that Jesus was speaking to himself on the cross is a nonsense.
So where does that leave us? If Jesus was not asking himself why he had forsaken (himself) clearly he was speaking to God, meaning he was not himself God. (Otherwise, why the need to ask the question). This passage alone demonstrates why the non-biblical concept of the trinity is thoroughly unsupported.

You've said that a number of times while failing to explain or address the points made.
Originally posted by @kellyjayTo clarify Kelly, when Christ cried out on the cross he was crying out to an entirely separate being?

Originally posted by @ghost-of-a-dukeI'm guessing you must have heard about the trinity at some point during your theological studies? Or were you at a JW seminary?
