How can someone die for another persons sins when the Bible clearly says that we are each responsible for our own? 

Ezekiel 18:20

The soul who sins shall die. The son shall not bear the guilt of the father, nor the father bear the guilt of the son. The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself.


THE GOLDEN ARROW:  For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.  For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:  That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.  (Romans 8:  2-4, KJV)

“Isa ibn Yahya”, where yours is an honest heart seeking truth, here are a few points you should also consider:

(1.)  Sin is neither a material thing nor a spirit substance put forth by GOD.  Yet, sin may dominate awareness and self-will in created beings and living creatures.  Using finite tools of intellect, logic, mathematics, reason, and science, mankind can not eliminate sin.

(2.)  Through sacred law the living may become alert to the presence of sin.  Sin opposes the continued existence of divine law, of the Divine Law Giver, and of the universe created and maintained through law.

(3.)  Many divine operations are now being carried to completion that provide for the full cleansing, recovery, and transformation of all within the various spheres of existence.  Included are birth, death, judgment, rebirth, resurrection, and sanctification.

There is a lot more to be said, correctly understood, and spiritually apprehended.  (For example, (4.)  Believers having a proper understanding of atonement, offering, redemption, and sacrifice are relieved of every emotional, psychological, and spiritual “burden” or “obligation” for sin.  Their duty is to focus and live centered in aspects of truth such as acknowledgement, divine love, praise, respect, and worship.).  Even so, I trust this fragment will be useful.  Be it unto you according to your meekness and faith.


For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:  (1st Peter 3:  18, KJV)
