About three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eli, Eli,[a] lema sabachthani?” (which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”).
“If it is possible, let this cup pass from Me”

No one would ever know since Jesus didn't write his own scripture for whatever reason.

If we take a look at this verse:
About three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eli, Eli,[a] lema sabachthani?” (which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”).
and
“If it is possible, let this cup pass from Me”
So, the question is: Did Jesus ever experience or go through periods of doubt?
I think you already answered your own question.
“aYou of little faith, why did you doubt?”
“So do not fear; ayou are more valuable than many sparrows.

I believe the second one would be fear... not doubt.
This is why he sweat blood... its possible during periods of extreme stress

How can one doubt physical pain?
He feared what was to come...

Not using that verse, could fear be doubt? For instance. Father says I will be alright, I walk into a lions den, but yet I fear the lions. Am I doubting Fathers word, by being fearful?edit on 15-7-2012 by jhill76 because: (no reason given)
Jesus was tested here just like everyone else, was he not? Perhaps God wanted to find out how far is trust in him would go?
This is what films like "The Passion" miss: the fact that the greatest suffering of the cross was not physical, but spiritual. Christ endured something totally alien to Him up to that point: the separation of God from God, Father from Son.

And here comes the arguement.... :bnghd:
If Jesus is God, why would God need to test himself?
