I have heard alot of Christians say this, and I apologize in advance if I might offend anyone on this question. Why would Jesus take the blame for other people's sins? Wouldn't it be like letting someone else take the blame for your mistakes? Sincere answers only please, and if you do not have anything nice to say, don't say it at all. Thank you.

If Jesus is the son of God why would Christians (or at least my Christian friends) pray to Jesus? Still, the God sacrificed Jesus for you...why let others take the blame? Shouldn't it be every man for himself?

If God is God, and Jesus is also God, which one do you listen to? So is it like sending an innocent to prison for a crime that a guilty committed?

He didn't. He died because he was politically incorrect and not bright enough to lay low.

Paul was against Jesus. After Jesus was gone, he came up with such a myth to screw the religion. Or if he was too zealous and wanted to turn the whole Pagan Europeans as Christians. So he made up this story to make it easy to convert all pagans with this dogma that says believe that Jesus died for your sins and you will get to enter in heaven no matter what kind of life you lived.
See all the mafia people are catholics. They go church every Sundy and killing other people to them is nothing. They just confess to Priest and think Priest can forgive their murders and all sins. This is pathetic. Most Christians who convert to Islam are Catholics for your information. Some are athiests also.
People change only when they have sincere intention to change and God guides them to right path. This is why Muslims do not knock people's doors.

He died for your sins because there is no other way into heaven...God cannot tolerate sin..but he loved us so much that he sent Jesus, the only acceptable sacrifice for us...
John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life
Romans 3:23 For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life thru Jesus Christ out Lord
Romans 5:8 But God demonstrated his love towards us in that while we were still sinners Christ died for us.
Acts 16:31 Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved you and your household...
The only way to heaven is thru Jesus Christ...he paid the price for you...you only need to accept it

the answer is the Ransom, in Genesis 1:27-28 God decided that Adam and Eve will have kids and fill the earth of perfect humans, nut in Genesis 2 the mistake almost stop that purpose of God.
but in chapter 3 of Genesis he make an statement in verse 15.
God almighty couldn´t not destroy inmediatly Adam and eve cause he already said that they must have kids and fill the earth, but couldn´t forgive them cause they sinned and he warn them in chapter 2.
In chapter 3 verses 15 explain how God will "fix" the problem created in chapter 2, someone who pay the "debt" created by Adam it is like your father make a bad bussiness and loss all his money and also left a debt of 1 million dollar, in this case Jesus came and pay that money and restore the original money your father had.
Adam is our father that is why we died, but when we accept Jesus he became our "father" that is why the bible call him "eternal father" in Isaiah 9.
Why Believe in Jesus Christ?
"EVEN many people who are not Christians believe that He was a great and wise teacher. He was certainly one of the most influential people who ever lived." (The World Book Encyclopedia) Who is "He"? Jesus Christ, the founder of Christianity.
In spite of what the encyclopedia says, however, to hundreds of millions of people in the Orient and elsewhere, Jesus Christ is a stranger, just a name they may remember from high-school textbooks. Even in the churches of Christendom, there are theologians and clergymen who say that we really do not know Jesus and cast doubt on the genuineness of the four extant accounts of his life (the Gospels) found in the Bible.

Jesus wasn't taking the blame. Jesus died to balance the scales of life
When Adam sinned in the Garden of eden, he lost his perfect life and became sinful. Jesus had to die a perfect man so that Faithful People on earth would have a chance at perfect life on paradise and free from sin

Jesus died for our sins because he loved us and knew we couldn't make it into Heaven on our own. God and Jesus follow every thing in the Bible. The Bible says to love every one and that's why he did it. We are cursed with sin because Adam and Eve ate from the tree of good and evil. That's when they were kicked out of the Garden of Eden. If they have listened to God we would be sin free and still in the garden today.

our sins so god would forgive us all
a very good spin back in the roman times the swing meter went straight over to the christian side the Jews coming a second for casting Jesus to the Romans and the Romans
well they just fell apart
moral of the story don't let a Jew speak up for you
and never hire an Italian carpenter

God sacraficed his only son (Jesus) so that we may have eternal life in heaven. Why did it have to be that way? Since he is God why couldn't he just forgive our sins and bring us to heaven when we die? I don't know. I do know that because Jesus died and then rose again (Easter celebration) that our sins will be washed away and that as long as we repent and believe that is what happened we will go to heaven.
So he was not taking the blame, God made the ultimate sacrifice for us by giving his son so that we have the opportunity to go to heaven

You are right and that is what Jesus Christ did when he took my sins, and yours and every other human beings sins when he died on the cross.
2 Corinthians 5:20-21 "Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God. For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
In simplistic terms we humans were all guilty of breaking God's laws and that is sin which separates our freedom to live as God wants us to live. We humans are incapable of paying back to God for breaking it. So God himself paid our debt. He went to jail for us. So that we could live in God's freedom.
Why would God do that for man? Because God is love.

Sincerely, he didn't. That whole story is a myth made up by men. God is imaginary. Adam and Eve are imaginary. The whole story about the cruci-FICTION being God's plan to redeem us from original sin is based on false premises.

LOVE
He paid the way for us so we would not have to. God loved us so much that he gave us his Son Jesus. Jesus (who in nature was also God) felt the same way. He said that He is the only way to the Father whom is in Heaven. Pure Love. Think about someone you really love a lot. I mean really loves...would you die for that person. Jesus really loved us. He died for us.
