Jesus was God and man at the same time. He is the only God there ever was. Deity was inside Him because His very person is God. But His soul and body were human. The deity in Christ withdrew the INFLUENCE of comfort to the human soul. The deity remained in Him, though. He never ceased being God. But the influence of the comfort of His deity was withdrawn from the humanity. His humanity was actually feeling forsaken. He was not quoting scripture as though what He said was not true of Him. He was not pretending when He cried this cry forth. But it was not as though the Spirit of God left that body to leave Him solely human. That is not possible. I already said He was always trhe fullness of the Godhead bodily.

He never ceased being God manifest in flesh. It's just that the INFLUENCE of the Deity UPON the human soul was pulled away, while the Deity remained in that Body.
