DL seem obvious you're the one ignoring scriptures.
Multiple scriptures make it clear in the extreme that the "sins of the world" are transferred to Jesus and applied to all "who believe".
but to be be clear, the verses you quote do
not say that sins aren't transferable to
Anything or Anyone else.
They say they are not transferable from
FATHERS to SON or vis versa.
the Scripture is making it clear what God
does and
does not accept as payment for sins.
So how is it that you jump over all the verses in Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy that clearly talk about the many
various rituals and sacrifices that ARE available for the people and the nation to TRANSFER their sins to something else... to be cleansed of their sins... to be forgiven... and NOT DIE.
And you even use the term "Scapegoat" to try and DENY that sins are transferable. But the term scapegoat is taken from the book of Leviticus and is just ANOTHER clear living/working metaphor for what Jesus did in a FINAL way.
That is, transfer the sins of the people to himself so that he'd bear the punishment for us all.
Leviticus 16:20
“When Aaron has finished making atonement for the Most Holy Place, the tent of meeting and the altar, he shall bring forward the live goat.He is to lay both hands on the head of the live goat and confess over it all the wickedness and rebellion of the Israelites—all their sins—and put them on the goat’s head. He shall send the goat away into the wilderness in the care of someone appointed for the task.The goat will carry on itself all their sins to a remote place; and the man shall release it in the wilderness...
So the choice is,
Would God be more likely to create a merciful substituionary sytem and finally become man and take the full substitutionary punishment for the sins of his fallen creatures to redeem his creation?
Or Would the fallen angel Satan pretend to be God who becomes a man and take the substitutionary punishment for the sins of other fallen creatures.
I'd have to say God would be more likely.
How about you DL?
John1:
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
...14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
...29 The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!
whether or not you
like it or want to believe it or not is between you and God.
but don't pretend the message is unclear DL.
