Paul Younan Wrote:"Why have you spared me?" could be the best translation over all, then. Thanks for all your help...it has always bugged me, like so many others who have read the "forsaken" versions.

It bugged me because I never had read Psalms 22.
It bugged me, because it says something weird, 'the Son left by his Father?'
Now, it does not bug me anymore, because it is an exclamation of triumph. With the last breath He had, he quoted Psalms 22, just like here, Yeshu quoted Scripture, to indicate it to be fulfilled.
This is said as last of the 7 things, Yeshu said on the cross. Two of them where just to fulfill Psalms 22.
Just connect the dots:
John 19:28 "I am thirsty" This is to fulfill Psalms 22:15
Marc 15:34 "Why have you forsaken me? (Psalms 22:1)"
John 19:30 "It is fulfilled!"
And, last but not least, If Yeshu was disappointed that God --spared-- him, why would he not just call in a legion of angels, to serve him, to strengthen him, to struggle another few hours at the cross?
This new Aramaic translation (why have you spared me), simply does not solve things, but worsen.
