I don't fully understand the intricate details of Jesus' statement of separation on the cross. However, it makes sense that our sins separate us from God, and these are the sins Jesus died for. I also recognize that there are times in life—whether self-inflicted or caused by the sins of others—when we may feel forsaken by God. What I know for certain is that Jesus was not ultimately forsaken, nor are we who have been forgiven by Him through His great sacrifice.
Psalms 22:1 KJV My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?
Matthew 27:46 KJV And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
Case in point: Christ and we who are in Him are never ultimately forsaken.
Psalms 22:24 KJV For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from him; but when he cried unto him, he heard.

People still believe their votes govern nations and even think they can make nations Christian. However, I believe they have not read Jeremiah, where God instructed His people to serve the Babylonians as judgment.
Psalms 22:28 KJV For the kingdom is the LORD'S: and he is the governor among the nations.
The seed that bows before Jesus Christ and serves Him is the generation of the Church (Body of Christ); this generation began with the faith of Adam and Eve.
Psalms 22:29 KJV All they that be fat upon earth shall eat and worship: all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him: and none can keep alive his own soul.
Psalms 22:30 KJV A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation.
Psalms 22:31 KJV They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done this.
the faith of Adam & Eve is undefined.

The line of obedience to civil authority is the will of God, and the will of God will never demand that you sin.

The Bible as a whole, and the New Testament especially, teaches that Jesus is God. I just had a man spam my comments, refuting this fact with the only defense he had: that the Bible is filled with errors.
If you maintain the work of God, you will carefully maintain good works. As for our works, they are filthy and unprofitable.

Why ask God to reveal His will to you when you plan to follow your own will anyway?
