LightSon,
I do not believe God turned His back on His Son at the cross. This notion gained some currency in several of the patented answer factories (seminaries, cemetaries, whatever) by those who either could not or would not make the connection between what Jesus uttered on the cross and the first line of Psalm 22. Jesus was pointing any and all to the Psalm which spoke of the cross so long before He was ever nailed to it. He was not lamenting the absense of His omnipresent Father or His gaze.
Concerning the notion that God cannot look upon sin and turned His back on His Son because of it, I leave you with the following verses:
Psa 90:8 Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.
Prov 15:3 The eyes of the LORD are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.
John 16:32 Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.
