Religion & Law

The traditional teaching (at least since the fourth century) is that Jesus was God. Most Christians accept this without thinking seriously about the internal life of Jesus. Here is one example. Jesus is depicted many times as praying to God. At his death, he says ?My God, My God, why have you forsaken me.? What is the psychology of Jesus? Did he know he was God? When? What is the relationship between Jesus and the Father? If Jesus is co-equal, why is Jesus praying as a traditional Jew might to the Father? There is a truly great book by Michael Casey, Fully Human, Fully Divine: An Interactive Christology. I think it's time to go back and read it.
