Featured Death before the age of accountability

The Jews did not want Jesus just to die...that is why they insisted that he be crucified. Why?

Go to the "book of the law":

"And if a man have committed a sin worthy of death, and he is to be put to death, and thou hang him on a tree: his body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but thou shalt in any wise bury him that day (for he that is hanged on a tree is cursed of God).” Deut. 21:23

That meant to the Jews the irrevocable curse of God, which to us would be the second death, “good-bye” to life forever with no hope of a resurrection.

“Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, (how?) being made a curse for us: for it is written: (now he quotes Deut. 21:23) Cursed is everyone that hangeth on a tree” (Gal 3:13).

 

Mark 7:1 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, 22 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: 23 All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.

Rom 7:18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.... 23 I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.

In the creation, Adam was made in God's image, after His likeness. (1:27) This cannot refer to Adam's physical form because "God is Spirit". (John 4:24) It means that Adam perfectly reflected God's agape love - "a love that is not self-seeking" (1 Cor 13:5)

But after the fall Adam's son was no longer in the image of God, but rather the image of his father:

Gen 5:1 This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him; 2 Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created. 3 And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, and after his image; and called his name Seth"

What happened at the fall of mankind? Adam's agape, which was selfless, took a u-turn. Instead of living for others only he became selfish and self-centered. The Hebrew for this word is "iniquity". Therefore agape bent-back is self-love.

Because of Adam we are born knowing only self-love.The primary meaning of iniquity is not an act but a condition. As a result of the fall, man by very nature is spiritually “bent,” so that the driving force of his very nature is love of self. Paul defines it as “the law of sin and death” (Romans 7:23; 8:2}. It is this condition that is the basis of all our sinning, and which makes us slaves to sin (Romans 3:9-12; 7:14).

 

The law demands your death. Jesus wasn't the sinner...how could He die instead of you?

Let's say you murder someone. You go before the judge and he sentences you to death. Your lawyer steps up and says, "judge, I'll die in his place". What is the judge going to say to your lawyer? "You aren't the murderer, your his lawyer and the law says that the murderer must die."

 

In other words God is mad as heck and He wants to kill us sinners, but Jesus steps in and says "Kill Me instead"?

 

Let's follow your theology to its natural conclusion:

If God hates sin (and He does) and demands that the sinner dies and allows Jesus to die in our place, then Jesus was a sinner.

No law will condemn the innocent in place of the guilty...no law, especially God's law.
