Idk it seems we don't really know the truth for sure, words have been changed and interpretations have been
interpreted so we can't be for sure. I guess it also depends on what your definition of "God" is. The teachings of
Christianity is basically that there is only one God, "The God". And depending on your views on the Trinity and
all that you can make your own opinion about Jesus/God and the deity and all that..

Elaborating:

You can take Jesus' words at his crucifixion "Why have you forsaken me Father" and believe that there is only one God,

so therefore Jesus is not a God, just a spiritual Messiah and Savior sent by God.

Wrong.

You must read the rest of the gospels to get a good picture of Jesus, and his relationship to God.

John 10:30 'I and my father are one' is kind of a strong statement at the oneness of God.

As for Matthew 27:46, concerning God forsaking Jesus - there's a very common theology represented in the statement. Essentually, God forsook the natural body and person of Jesus Christ, so that he could, as a perfect person, redeem the world of it's sins. In doing such, he provided redemption for mankind. It's called propitiation - turning away wrath via sacrifice.

If your really wanting the true words, you could always study greek or hebrew. Or visit a museum that has original texts from when they were written. The Bible is based off of handwritten accounts that have been dated back to their time of supposed origin. If you want to argue they've been twisted, then you must argue that there's absolutely no validity in the Bible whatsoever, because we do have the actual writings.
