Shlama all,
I do not deny that The Father is the God of Yeshua or that Yeshua our Lord referred to Him as "my God". My point was that He never addressed Him as such in prayer, except that once on the cross. He always addressed Him as "My Father", or "Father". I think that is significant when considering His state of mind and how He viewed His relationship with God at the time of the great darkness, suffering and death of the cross.
Psalm 22 indicates in verse 6 and elsewhere that He viewed Himself as something other than The Son of God at that time: "I am a worm, and not a man."
Blessings,
Dave
