"...Christ being the punishment for our sins?" Since when is Christ a punishment?
Let's be clear. I said Christ being THE punishment. You changed that to Christ A punishment.
Do you believe that Christ was made sin for us and that the Father's wrath rested upon Him instead of us? Not that I expect a straight answer.
Isa 53:5-6 But he was wounded for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned--every one--to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.
Isa 53:10 Yet it was the will of the LORD to crush him; he has put him to grief; when his soul makes an offering for guilt, he shall see his offspring; he shall prolong his days; the will of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.
2Co 5:21 For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
