Money Grubber Rod Parsley Claims Jesus Never Said ‘My God Why Have You Forsaken Me’ On Cross
Rod Parsley is the impastor of World Harvest Church and a noted Word/ Faith televangelist. A NAR heretic who never met a bible verse he couldn’t twist, he is known for his constant money-grubbing, constantly cajoling the masses by promising that anyone who sows a seed into his ministry will receive miracles and megabucks.
During a recent service, after shilling his wares, Parsley claims that Jesus never said, “My God, my God why have you forsaken me?” on the cross, and that is an invention of the KJV, which got it wrong, despite pretty much every other translation saying the same thing.
“You ought to send a $40 gift or more right now to get that last message, Seven Declarations from the Cross.
Do you know that Jesus never said “My God, why have you forsaken me?” He never said it. Wow you’re quiet. Looks like I need to preach that again. Or you can just get the message and I won’t have to do it again.
I prove to you that Jesus never said that. If Jesus, if the Father would have forsaken Jesus, Jesus could forsake you, and he cannot forsake you. If God turned his back on Jesus, Jesus can turn his back on you. And he will not.
So he never said it. King James Version says he said it, but the King James Version is wrong in that regard. Still one of the most trustworthy Bibles ever in existence, but that is wrong. He never said that. That’s against every other theology you have. You with me?
How many of you’d like to know what he actually said? Well send a $40 gift.”
And people actually give this clown man money.
So the translators, and everyone who has studied the original manuscripts for the past 418 years, as well as those who worked on other direct translations since, must’ve all been in on it. Likely hundreds of thousands of individuals across four centuries. Quite a conspiracy.
Parsley’s been a religious huckster for years – where does he find people this naive?
Baloney
Okay, someone needs to send him 40.00 so we can all find out what he says his translation of the NT greek is.
Spiritual separation (which is spiritual death, “why have you forsaken me”) preceded physical death (which is physical separation). That is the death or separation that Christ paid for us and then he conquered death, guaranteeing our eternal possession by Him.
Without Christ, we will be eternally separated from God. Christ defeated death on our behalf, and nothing will now separate us from the love of Christ.
