God would not put your sin on Jesus.

Greetings! I am very excited to have this debate.. I understand that this is a huge question within the Judeo-Christian community and needs to be properly addressed... That being said, I will begin by stating my opening contentions:1). The need for "atonement" is required throughout the Old TestamentNow, the word atonement is found multiple times in the Old Testament and the literal definition is at-one-meant: or the state of being reconciled.. Its essentially the way in which God makes sinners "right" in light of our inherit wrongdoing nature (sin). The word Atonement in Hebrew is "Kaphar" meaning "to cover"... The Hebrew meaning of the word "atonement" is God covering up our sin so that we can be "reconciled to him" Now in the Old Testament, the covering or atonement is achieved by the shedding of an innocent animals blood... Leviticus 17:11: For the life of a creature is in the blood, and I have given it to you to make atonement for yourselves on the altar; it is the blood that makes atonement for one's life.Leviticus 1:5-5: He shall lay his hand on the head of the burnt offering, that it may be accepted for him to make atonement on his behalf. 5 He shall slay the young bull before the Lord; and Aaron’s sons the priests shall offer up the blood and sprinkle the blood around on the altar that is at the doorway of the tent of meeting.GotQuestions relays this process perfectly: God commanded the nation of Israel to perform numerous sacrifices according to certain procedures prescribed by God. First, the animal had to be spotless. Second, the person offering the sacrifice had to identify with the animal. Third, the person offering the animal had to inflict death upon it. When done in faith, this sacrifice provided a temporary covering of sins. Another sacrifice called for on the Day of Atonement, described in Leviticus 16, demonstrates forgiveness and the removal of sin. The high priest was to take two male goats for a sin offering. One of the goats was sacrificed as a sin offering for the people of Israel (Leviticus 16:15), while the other goat was released into the wilderness (Leviticus 16:20-22). The sin offering provided forgiveness, while the other goat provided the removal of sin.The Old Testament propitiation for sin is the shedding of INNOCENT blood... That is, something that is completely blameless needs to die IN YOUR PLACE so that you can be counted as righteous and "covered up" before a Holy God.. Furthermore.. Jesus (according to biblical doctrine) is the FINAL PROPITIATION for human sin. That is.. He had no sin (2 Corinthians 5:21), He died on the cross (Luke 23:44-46) and rose from the dead (Mark 16) "For this reason he had to be made like them, fully human in every way, in order that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people (Hebrews 2:17). Jesus therefore, is sent as the final sacrifice for humanity and is the fulfillment of the Old Testament requirement for an atoning sacrifice in that humanity can be made right before God. This is best exemplified with John the Baptist as he states: "Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! John 1:292). Humans require "atonement" due to the nature of God and sin. The nature of God according to the entire bible is: Perfectly merciful, loving, just, and holy. Sin then, is essentially "missing" the mark. Humanity fell when Adam and Eve "ate the fruit of the tree of knowledge and evil" and now, humans are born with inherited sin. A perfectly Just God must punish sin! The definition of justice is: the administering of deserved punishment or reward. IF God did not punish sin.. Then He would not be perfectly just. "The Rock! His work is perfect, For all His ways are just; A God of faithfulness and without injustice, Righteous and upright is He. Deuteronomy 32:4. God is also Perfectly merciful and loving. He loves humanity and enacted a glorious plan to destroy evil and sin without destroying humans. He does this by atonement... as described above... Now other religions including some sects of Judaism claim that "being righteous" is the way to "become right" before a Perfectly Holy God... Let me ask, does any of us meet the standard? Will my meticulous study and practice of the Law make me blameless before the Creator? "For I am the LORD your God. Consecrate yourselves therefore, and be holy, for I am holy. You shall not defile yourselves with any swarming thing that crawls on the ground. For I am the LORD who brought you up out of the land of Egypt to be your God. You shall therefore be holy, for I am holy." Leviticus 11:44-45"When Abram was ninety-nine years old the LORD appeared to Abram and said to him, ‘I am God Almighty; walk before me, and be blameless,’" Genesis 17:1"You shall be blameless before the LORD your God," Deuteronomy 18:13We all know that we can never be perfect based on our own efforts.. "All of us have become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags Isaiah 64:6"Therefore, biblical atonement is the "only way" that one can become righteous.. Through turning from their ways (repentance) and turning back to God in order that He would cover their sin (atonement). This process allows for God to display both his perfect justice and his mercy. However, the "works based" view of salvation does not account for Gods justice.. IF God just forgives your sin without dispensing justice.. Then He is not just. Imagine that somebody murders my wife.. After committing the act.. He turns to God and asks for forgiveness. God according to "work based" religions, would just forgive the person and everything would be peaches and cream... Wait.. MY WIFE IS STLL MURDERED! Somebody needs to pay! That payment is exacted in the death of Jesus.. Otherwise, God would not be just in just merely forgiving sin without dispensing justice. The doctrine of atonement throughout the Old/New Testament is EXTREMELY PREVALENT for humans to be reconciled to God.. Therefore it is necessary that God would put our sins on Jesus.. " for if you do not believe that I am He, you will indeed die in your sins." John 8:24 Now, stepping of my soap box. I look forward to my opponents further response's..
