How can Jesus take responsibility for our sins?

[Rainbow Mage]

He cannot.

Ezekiel 18:20-24

The soul that sins, it shall die; a son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, and a father shall not bear the iniquity of the son; the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself.

And if the wicked man repent of all his sins that he has committed and keeps all My laws and executes justice and righteousness, he shall surely live, he shall not die.

All his transgressions that he has committed shall not be remembered regarding him: through his righteousness that he has done he shall live.

Do I desire the death of the wicked? says the Lord God. Is it not rather in his repenting of his ways that he may live?

And when the righteous repents of his righteousness and does wrong and does like all the abominations that the wicked man did, shall he live? All his righteous deeds that he has done shall not be remembered; in his treachery that he has perpetrated and in his sin that he has sinned, in them shall he die.

According to my understanding Man can't redeem himself.

Why not?

The Hebrews would sacrifice a lamb and let one go in the wilderness to starve to death and that would push it back for a year, but never truly forgive.

So they would kill one and let another go knowing it too would die? That doesn't seem to make much sense.

 

[839311]

Only a righteous sacrifice could redeem and forgive sins.

How so?

If someone does something wrong to me and sincerely asks for my forgiveness, and I forgive them, then in my opinion the sin would be forgiven. Why do you think this would this not be valid?

Only a righteous sacrifice could redeem and forgive sins. It took God Himself in the person of Jesus Christ to do it. Through Him we have victory not only for what He did on the cross, but moe importantly, that He rose!

Wow.
What an ego god must have.

And to think that he already knew about all this before he even started...

It was a goat, actually. It's where the term "scapegoat" comes from. All the sins of the people are symbolically placed on the head of the goat, and they send it off into the wilderness.

The only responsiblity we have to take for out mistakes is here on earth, not in the hereafter.
