Why did Jesus ask “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?” (Matthew 27:46) [Spirituality & Religion]

Had God forsaken him?
Did he not know why he was suffering?
Was he a devout but mundane man who despaired at his death?

I doubt he said that at all. It's supposed to be an Isaiah reference and a fulfillment of "prophecy". But all those prophecies get shoehorned into the story at a minimum a generation later.
At most all it shows was that he was aware of the saying in Isaiah.
At least it puts a dent in the him being God idea. Cause how can an omnipresent God which is also yourself abandon you.
@canusernamebemyusername Yeah i'm not very impressed with most of the "prophecies" that Jesus is meant to have fulfilled.
