Was Jesus the Lamb of G-d

How could Jesus be the Lamb of G-d?

John 1:29. The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.

Leviticus 4:2. Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a soul shall sin through ignorance against any of the commandments of the Lord concerning things which ought not to be done, and shall do against any of them:
3. If the priest that is anointed do sin according to the sin of the people; then let him bring for his sin, which he hath sinned, a young bullock without blemish unto the Lord for a sin offering.
4. And he shall bring the bullock unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the Lord; and shall lay his hand upon the bullock's head, and kill the bullock before the Lord.
5. And the priest that is anointed shall take of the bullock's blood, and bring it to the tabernacle of the congregation:
6. And the priest shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle of the blood seven times before the Lord, before the vail of the sanctuary.
7. And the priest shall put some of the blood upon the horns of the altar of sweet incense before the Lord, which is in the tabernacle of the congregation; and shall pour all the blood of the bullock at the bottom of the altar of the burnt offering, which is at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

Leviticus 4:23. Or if his sin, wherein he hath sinned, come to his knowledge; he shall bring his offering, a kid of the goats, a male without blemish:
24. And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the goat, and kill it in the place where they kill the burnt offering before the Lord: it is a sin offering.

Leviticus 4:27. And if any one of the common people sin through ignorance, while he doeth somewhat against any of the commandments of the Lord concerning things which ought not to be done, and be guilty;
28. Or if his sin, which he hath sinned, come to his knowledge: then he shall bring his offering, a kid of the goats, a female without blemish, for his sin which he hath sinned.
29. And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the sin offering, and slay the sin offering in the place of the burnt offering.
30. And the priest shall take of the blood thereof with his finger, and put it upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and shall pour out all the blood thereof at the bottom of the altar.

In the above scriptures we learn that a sin offering has to be:
1) without blemish,
2) it has to be killed at the door to the tabernacle
3) an anointed priest (Levi) brings the blood into the tabernacle
4) the priest shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle of the blood seven times before the Lord, before the vail of the sanctuary.
5) And the priest shall put some of the blood upon the horns of the altar of sweet incense before the Lord, which is in the tabernacle of the congregation; and shall pour all the blood of the bullock at the bottom of the altar of the burnt offering, which is at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

G-d’s requirements for a sin offering are quite exact and they change not. If Jesus was the Lamb of G-d who takes away the sins of the world as stated by the Greek writer of John and no where else in the bible, then Jesus would have to meet the above criteria.

Was Jesus without blemish? Christianity today almost speaks with pride concerning Jesus’ condition just before his death, how he was marred worst then any man, beaten, whipped and don’t forget the crow of thorns. Jesus at the time of his death was greatly blemished and thereby could not be a sin offering.

Was Jesus killed at the door of the tabernacle by a Levi priest? No! Jesus was killed on a hill outside of town by Roman soldiers.

Was the blood of Jesus sprinkled in the Tabernacle? No.
Even if G-d accepted human sin offerings, which He does not, Jesus failed to make even one of the criteria for sin offerings. G-d’s law is totally set up on personal accountability; the sinner is responsible for the sin, no one else. The whole concept of one man dying for the sins of all goes against the very law that it claims to be following.

Deauteronomy 24:16. The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin.

2 Kings 14:6. But the children of the murderers he slew not: according unto that which is written in the book of the law of Moses, wherein the Lord commanded, saying, The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, nor the children be put to death for the fathers; but every man shall be put to death for his own sin.

Jeremiah 31:30. But every one shall die for his own iniquity: every man that eateth the sour grape, his teeth shall be set on edge.

Ezekiel 18:20. The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.

G-d’s Holy Scriptures plainly show that we are responsible for our own sins and as far as being a ransom for all sinners.

Psalms 49:7. None of them no man can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him:

Why do you think that the Greek writers of John, writing a hundred years after the death of Jesus, tried to sell you on this whole false “Lamb of god” theory?
