God did give the Law to Israel, but the Law served as a witness to the New Covenant. It points out our sin. And people who were not Jews also sinned apart from the Law.God gave the law and it is the law that condemns us. The wages of that law breaking required the sentence of death. God the Son didn't die because of what he did. He died because of what I did. As my Passover substitute, he received the death that the death angel was going to give to me. Jesus took the judgment from the Father that I was supposed to receive.
Hebrews expresses that Jesus is greater than all things. Greater than angels, greater than Moses, greater than the Levitical priests, greater than the High Priest. It also expresses that Jesus is that Lamb which was slain.
Hebrews 10:8-14
When he said above, “You have neither desired nor taken pleasure in sacrifices and offerings and burnt offerings and sin offerings” (these are offered according to the law), then he added, “Behold, I have come to do your will.” He does away with the first in order to establish the second. And by that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. And every priest stands daily at his service, offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. But when Christ had offered for all time a single sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God, waiting from that time until his enemies should be made a footstool for his feet. For by a single offering he has perfected for all time those who are being sanctified.
I can see you are set like a rock on this subject. You, and others, can believe as you wish. What I know is what I read in scripture. Jesus paid my debt and set me free.
Sinners rightly deserve condemnation. And every sinner, every unrighteous man, will face God's wrath.
If we do not die to the flesh then we also will face God's wrath.
But if we do die to the flesh, if we are born again, made new creations, then there is no condemnation (we are new creations, reborn, born of the Spirit).
The problem is you are clinging to a moral philosophy that tells you the Judge has to punish sin (sinful actions). It is a necessity for justice to be carried out. And it is focused not on the guilty but on the actual sins. Therefore God transferred our sins to His Son and punished Christ instead of punishing us, thereby forgiving us.
What you are ignoring are passages that tell us sin cannot be transfered to another, and that it is evil to substitute the just for the unjust.
Yes. I am set like a rock. I guess it is easier for me (having once been where you are now).
