The Jewish religion believes that no one can die for anothers sins. First, in Exodus 32:30-35, Moses asks God to punish him for the sin of the Golden Calf, committed by the people. God tells Moses that the person who committed the sin is the person who must receive the punishment. Then, in Deuteronomy 24:16, God simply states this as a basic principle, "Every man shall be put to death for his own sins." This concept is repeated in the Prophets, in Ezekiel 18 "The soul that sinneth, it shall die... the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him." So how did Jesus die for our sins if the bible says no one can?
Also, the Jewish religion also believes that the messiah would not be god, but a human, and restore Israel, and be a great political leader.
I am so confused. How did these prophecies get so twisted around? Can someone pleaaaaase explain this to me?!

Only a few days prior to his crucifiction___ Jesus was desetting the shops and trade points__ installed in the God’s Temple__ by the leave (sponsorship) of his Lord. The on looking crowd was fearing from him while he was, fearlessly, lashing every shop keeper and the trader. He was commanding them to free the God’s Temple from their shops and trade. Now, on the cross he is the same Jesus but without leave (sponsorship) of the Lord, crying for help, saying:-
“Eli Eli Lema Sabachthani!”
He has lost his miracles and miraculous power__ and is rendered__ into a commonplace person. Who is complaining before the Lord in the most pathetic terms. He is saying that his miracles have gone__ his power has gone__ strength has gone__ and he is now like a small quantity of water__ spilt on the ground__ which is drying away moment by moment. So he is saying to his Lord: “Have mercy on me!” “Have mercy on me!”__ Don’t leave me here__ for dead in the dust.
While praying to his Lord__ Jesus is very much conscious of the fact__ that he has lost his miracles___ his power___ his strength and everything. So he is rightly praying before his Lord. He is not praying here__ before himself or his godly-self__ as he, himself, can not__ accede to any prayer. It is the Lord and the Almighty God alone___ Who accedes to the prayers. The prayer of Jesus is, therefore, positively telling that Jesus is not any Saviour at all. He is simply a man and Prophet__ who himself, is praying before the Lord for help and Salvation.
Beware please, it is an old and well known law of the Lord that___ the Lord reveals the truth__ in open and decisive terms. Looking upon the miracles of Jesus__ the people were considering Jesus as the greatest magician. While hypocrites were calling him, even, the Lord and Saviour. Although Jesus did criticize such thoughts and notions but the notions remained in rapid progress. So, it became eventually essential that___ the actual status of Jesus should be demonstrated__ before all__ in the most open & visible terms. So, the Lord withdrew the miracles and the miraculous power of Jesus and rendered him into an ordinary man. The actual status of Jesus was, as such, demonstrated on the cross before everyone openly.
Whereafter, Jesus was no more a supernatural creature or the Lord and the Saviour. Instead, he was simply a common man. Who was not independent in any respect. He was rather totally dependant upon the Lord, in all respects.
The prayer of Jesus on the cross (the Psalm-22) also, signifies that___ in presence of sponsorship from the Lord__ an ordinary man may become so glorified and sublime that__ he is entitled as “Spirit of God” and “Word of God”. But when the sponsorship is withdrawn by the Lord__ then the man deteriorates__ even from his common status of a man___ and becomes worthless___ like a despised worm.
The trial of Jesus on the cross__ might have been withheld by the Lord___ but the two particular things necessitated it’s happening in essential terms:-
•The miraculous birth of Jesus was a sign of the Lord’s unique creativity. Whereby the people had to strengthen their faith in the Lord and the Lord’s Almightiness but they failed to do so. Instead, they lost their faith in the Lord and the Lord’s Al-mightiness and began to say Jesus as son-god and the Lord.
•Right from the beginning, it is an objective Law of the Lord that__ whenever Monotheism is diminished or overlapped by Polytheism___ the Lord cuts away the overlapped coverings of Polytheism and unveils Monotheism__ in the most obvious terms.
So the Lord did the same on the turn of Jesus. The Lord, rightly put Jesus under the trial of suffering and made the people understand that Jesus was not God or the Lord or the son-god. Nor he was a Saviour, instead, he was a man and Messenger of the Lord. Who, practically preached the Message of Monotheism, even on the cross.

15 The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it.
16 And the Lord God commanded the man, "You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; 17 but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat of it you will surely die."
In Genesis Chapter 3, Adam and Eve ate of the tree. They hid from God, and covered themselves with fig leaves (we do the same thing when we hide from God and try to rationalize our sins away). All of mankind was condemned to die after that.
Then in Genesis, Chapter 3:21 The Lord God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife and clothed them. Something had to die to provide the skins, so this was a foreshadowing of Jesus sacrifice covering their sins.
The temple sacrifices were also the shedding of blood so in this case, an animal, would die as a sacrifice for our sins. This also foreshadows Jesus sacrifice with the shedding of blood.
Jesus is part of the Trinity. He is God. He makes that very plain in Luke 22:70 "They all asked, "Are you then the Son of God?" He replied, "You are right in saying I am." 71 Then they said, "Why do we need any more testimony? We have heard it from his own lips." "
This means, that God himself paid the penalty He imposed in the Garden that day!
Hebrews 7 outlines the Old Testament sacrifices and shows how the New Testament sacrifice of Jesus are for the same purpose. Hebrews 7, 8, 9, and 10 are a good read on this subject.
Note: the NIV uses Covenant to replace the word Testament in the KJV.

Because every man (other than Jesus) inherited sin from Adam and Eve, none of them could buy back what was lost when Adam sinned. Only Jesus, because he was transferred into Mary's body from his dwelling place in heaven, could remain sinless in order to become the necessary sacrifice. The sacrifice had to be equal to what was lost, hence, Jesus' perfect life bought back (ransomed) the perfect life that Adam lost.
Jesus was human and he is now a king in heaven sitting at his Father's right hand. His kingdom government (called God's Kingdom) will restore all things that have been lost.

in case you do not have faith, that's not that stressful. heavily, we Christians are regrettably brainwashed from the get flow. you're born, mom and dad take you to church, and in the previous you may communicate, walk, and understand you have heard a hundred sermons approximately God and Jesus. Take a step back and investigate it from somebody else's eyes. there is not any info of God, each and every each and every now and then the Bible tells thoughts that throughout the time of no way occurred, many instances our fellow Christians are purely Christians whilst they sense this is appropriate, and Christians have a undesirable rep with stuffing it down human beings's throats. you may't tutor to those who there's a God and Jesus better than a guy from scripture. The scripture replaced into written by using guy interior the e book which you may desire to comprehend is slightly a stretch. Your faith keeps you believing and loving, however the human beings you're pertaining to have not have been given any faith. and that i can't blame them. human beings will ask God to supply them the numbers to win the lottery. Why? Do you have a job? Did you flow to college? in spite of this is which you may't take care of to pay for why can't you take care of to pay for it? IS it when you consider which you made undesirable judgements in existence? perchance this is appropriate in case you may't take care of to pay for it to tutor others that the path you took replaced into not the main fabulous direction. My own ideals are that God does not intervene. I refuse to have faith he could enable conflict if he did. I additionally can't have faith he could enable 1 / 4 of a million human beings to be killed by using a tsunami if he believed in combating such issues. It couldnt' have been all those human beings's time to flow. Heaven and Hell, i think of human beings have the incorrect concept. How can i relish somebody's corporation without physique? i can't hug them, can't see them, hear them, and so on. So why do i opt to flow to Heaven? i think of this is a recommendations set which you're in once you die. The delight of understanding which you lived a good existence.
