God approves of evolution

[Drich]

In John it's not all that clear that Jesus was actually baptised by him.

So?

The two things I quoted from the cross are arguably mutually exclusive. How can Jesus be clueless as to why God has abandoned him and then the next minute he says 'it is finished' like he knew what was happening all along?

Haven't you ever cried out of desperation? Even if you know why? pure broken heart desperation demands a recokening. In that moment Christ was seperated from God. (Hell) If you were sent to Hell would you want to know why, even though you lived your life in such a way as to not need to ask that question? Once you are there, their will be a point when you accept it. "It is Finished."
