Here's a better analogy.
You didn't commit a crime, and have never been to court. You meet a guy on the street who says, "I'm a judge. You don't remember this, but you did something very wrong and were on trial. Lucky for you, I made my son pay the penalty instead of you. But then you suffered severe amnesia and forgot the whole thing. And I can't offer any evidence to support any of my claims, or that I even have a son. But you should be grateful anyway. Demonstrate your gratitude by giving me $50 now."
Would you be grateful? Or would you suggest that the man seek professional help, perhaps in a padded room?
Think about it.

This is a pretty good analogy, but in this situation, the person would be face to face with the judge. The reason why so many people reject what this is supposed to be an analogy of is that they don't see any logical reason to believe in the Judge.

This makes no sense. First you say "you've done something very wrong and I was on Trial" then you say "he's not guilty because my son will pay the penalty." (Excuse me, I'm not guilty because I HAVEN'T BEEN DECLARED "GUILTY.") Then YOU GO WAAAAYYY OFF TANGENT with "How silly would it be to say no Judge, your to narrow minded I want someone else to pay that penalty." ??? So, I CAN GET A 3RD PERSON TO PAY FOR MY CRIME? Sweet!

I would think the judge is an idiot and send his son flowers.
Any1 who would except that deal is very selfish and w/o any empathy for the innocent person paying the price for your crimes.

i would stop the judge (unless the son doesn't mind), it's not fair to the son to pay the price for me.
and if i'm not guilty why is anyone getting punished?
and if the judge knows that i did it and wants to forgive me anyway why doesn't he just forgive me without punishing anyone?

you have missed the point.He came here to teach us,his sheep how to live among them and not be as them.He came so that we would see in him what is needed in us to be able to be forgiven.He walked among men to show that thru all the pain and hardships ,choosing good over evil, choosing right over wrong will lead to life and peace everlasting.

No it wouldn't. I'd feel awful if an innocent was convicted in my place - I'd have to refuse to let them.
I know what you're trying to do - but really, it's a very silly analogy.

While in prison I asked many if another person took your place here would you write or send money and if so for how long.Most said they would not .
