Quote: so you mean that when Jesus is on earth, He's also administering the whole universe. that would also include during the time when He was still a baby or even still in the womb of Virgin Mary?
then another question, Peace In Ireland....
""ELOI, ELOI, LAMA SABACHTHANI?"
which has been interpreted as
"My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me?" (Mark 15:34)"
or in some interpretation i found it is:
"Father, Father, Why hast thou forsaken me?" (Mark 15:34)"
who is this "God"/"Father" anyway? was Jesus praying to Himself since He is the one God?
Your first question: Yes. Even when he was a fetus, he was still layin' down the holy law.
Your second question: Jesus was asking the question to his father, God. And yes, Jesus was also God. But the physical embodiment of Christ could not have existed if God had not made him. So there was a little difference I guess.
THis is exactly why I don't believe in Christianity. Too many contradictions. I think is people just took the lessons of Jesus and used them as sort of a philosophical way of living your life, we'd be much better off. But people take stuff too litteraly. They think Jesus really made wine out of water, that he fed a whole field of people with a loaf of bread and a fish, and that he walked on water. Odds are, these were metaphors. So I'm not trying to say that your questions are easily explainable by logic, because they certainly aren't. I'm just trying to give you the Christian answer to them. If you want to go to a Catholic church and ask a priest of nun some questions, I'm sure they'd be more than happy to talk with you. That's all they do all day.
