This includes the JW's, kw.

So the substitutional target of His just wrath was ordained and provided by God, in the petitioner's offering. Which sacrifice needed to be without spot or blemish.

The petitioner would leave, after handing the sacrifice to the priests for slaughter, knowing that he was redeemed and restored, according to God's ordination and command.

If Jesus was other than perfect, " without spot or blemish" as is required of the atoning sacrifice, his atoning work would have no meaning or effect.

However, we are to understand He was sinless, and He is perfect.

Only God is sinless, and Perfect. This should settle the matter.
However, what does Isaiah say of Him in prophesy?

"... Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father..."




One of the most ridiculous teachings on " sin " that comes from Christianity is that newborns have to be baptized as soon as possible after birth incase they die in the state of "original sin " and will not be able to enter heaven, utter nonsense, what " sin " has a beautiful new born commited.
