...we were discussing a specific part of the Bible relating to today's Good Friday status...
Let's say that we're talking about--...Keep it relevant, choose wisely. Each post must contain content relevant to the thread subject...
Mark 15:34 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
Something that often gets overlooked here is the fact that Jesus prayed in Aramaic. King James' translators chose to write the Aramaic word for 'God' as "Eloi", which is pretty close to how it's actually pronounced in this .wav file.
Bottom line: when Jesus prayed is sounded more like He prayed to "Allah" than to "God".
