Apparently El Capitan OS and Forge do not like one another. I have upgraded JAVA and I have tried multiple versions of Forge and still end up with the same error message:
The Java JAR file
"forge- 1.8-1 1.14.4.1577-universal.jar" (this just happens to be the version i took the screenshot of)
could not be launched.
Check the console for possible error messages.
