You've totally ignored the verses that clearly show that Christ's death was a propitiating, redemptive death. You've totally ignored the verses that clearly show that Christ's blood is an atoning blood.

All orthodox corruptions. Those little impish scribes were apparently very busy. Makes one wonder how a person can believe this and still call the NT "highly reliable." It seems, rather, riddled with holes.

It certainly does! Makes it awfully difficult to pick the tares out of the wheat!

Why does Isaiah 53 jump from future tense, to prest tense, then to past tense in its first few verses of the KJV? The Tenakh is consistent, the KJV isn't.

Isaiah 53 is about the nation of Israel, how Israel the nation will suffer for the iniquities of Israel the people. They will be punished and oppressed by others but in the end Israel is redeemed/vindicated.

That's my take on it, anyway, and it would help if we had precise translations instead of what we have, that tries to infer something else. Just like when they replaced the word lion with pierced, in Psalm 22:16. Someone tried to IMPLY something other than what the verse actually said.
