Isaiah 41:8-9
But you, Israel My servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham, who loved Me,
Whom I grasped from the ends of the earth, and from its nobles I called you, and I said to you, "You are My servant"; I chose you and I did not despise you.
Isaiah 43:10-11
“You are My witnesses,” says the Lord, “and My servant whom I chose,” in order that you know and believe Me, and understand that I am He; before Me no god was formed and after Me none shall be.
I, I am the Lord, and besides Me there is no savior.
Isaiah 44:1-2
And now, hearken, Jacob My servant, and Israel whom I have chosen.
So said the Lord your Maker, and He Who formed you from the womb shall aid you. Fear not, My servant Jacob, and Jeshurun whom I have chosen.
Isaiah 44:21
“Remember these, O Jacob; and Israel, for you are My servant; I formed you that you be a servant to Me, Israel, do not forget Me.”
Isaiah 45:4
For the sake of My servant Jacob, and Israel My chosen one, and I called to you by your name; I surnamed you, yet you have not known Me.
Isaiah 48:20
Leave Babylon, flee from the Chaldeans; with a voice of singing declare, tell this, publicize it to the end of the earth; say, “The Lord has redeemed His servant Jacob.”
Isaiah 49:1-3
Hearken, you islands, to me, and listen closely, you nations, from afar; the Lord called me from the womb, from the innards of my mother He mentioned my name.
And He made my mouth like a sharp sword, He concealed me in the shadow of His hand; and He made me into a polished arrow, He hid me in His quiver.
And He said to me, “You are My servant, Israel, about whom I will boast.”
Isaiah 49:6
And He said, “It is too light for you to be My servant, to establish the tribes of Jacob and to bring back the besieged of Israel, but I will make you a light of nations, so that My salvation shall be until the end of the earth.”
Isaiah 52:13
Behold My servant shall prosper; he shall be exalted and lifted up, and he shall be very high.
For the last 2000 years the Jews (the remnant of Israel/Jacob) have suffered greatly at the hands of the descendants of Esau (ancient Rome and later Christianity) and later the Muslims. Christians are still at war with the Jews by trying to convert them to Christianity.
One day at the beginning of the Messianic Era people will realize what the Jews have been trying to teach the world is correct. There will be no more Christians, Muslims, atheists, Hindus and everyone will speak Hebrew.
Zechariah 8:23
So said the Lord of Hosts: In those days, when ten men of all the languages of the nations shall take hold of the skirt of a Jewish man, saying, “Let us go with you, for we have heard that God is with you.”
Jeremiah 16:19-21
O Lord, Who are my power and my strength and my refuge in the day of trouble, to You nations will come from the ends of the earth and say, "Only lies have our fathers handed down to us, emptiness in which there is nothing of any avail!
Can a man make gods for himself, and they are no gods?"
Zechariah 14:9
And the Lord shall become King over all the earth; on that day shall the Lord be one, and His name one.
Zephaniah 3:9
For then I will convert the peoples to a pure language that all of them call in the name of the Lord, to worship Him of one accord.

Can God be a man?
Take a look at these verses and see what God, not the rabbis, say.
Hosea 11:9
I will not execute the kindling of My anger, I will not return to destroy Ephraim, for I am God and not a man. In your midst is the Holy One, and I will not enter a city.
Numbers 23:19
God is not a man that He should lie, nor is He a mortal that He should relent. Would He say and not do, speak and not fulfill?
1st Samuel 15:29
And also, the Strength of Israel will neither lie nor repent, for He is not a man to repent.
Job 9:32
For He is not man like me, that I should answer Him, 'Let us come together in debate.'
Isaiah 43:10
“You are My witnesses,” says the Lord, “and My servant whom I chose,” in order that you know and believe Me, and understand that I am He; before Me no god was formed and after Me none shall be.
Isaiah 44:6
So said the Lord, the King of Israel and his Redeemer the Lord of Hosts, "I am first and I am last, and besides Me there is no God.
Isaiah 44:8
Fear not and be not dismayed; did I not let you hear it from then, and I told [it] and you are My witnesses; is there a God besides Me? And there is no rock I did not know.
For the Christians and your New Testament actually gets this one right...
John 4:24
God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.

Is it possible for one man to die for the sins of another?
God says, "No." Check Exodus 32:30-35 for the answer.
The essence of the story goes that after the sin of the golden calf, Moses wants to die in their place for that sin. God emphatically says, "No."
The same answer can be found in one verse.
Deuteronomy 24:16:
Fathers shall not be put to death because of sons, nor shall sons be put to death because of fathers; each man shall be put to death for his own transgression.
The same answer can be found in Numbers 35:33.
And you shall not corrupt the land in which you live, for the blood corrupts the land, and the blood which is shed in the land cannot be atoned for except through the blood of the one who shed it.
(It's the death penalty for those that commit murder and not someone else who did not do the crime.)
The same answer is discussed in Ezekiel chapter 18 in great detail. To be more specific look at Ezekiel 18:20.
The soul that sins, it shall die; a son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, and a father shall not bear the iniquity of the son; the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself.
It also says in Ezekiel 18 that in order to obtain forgiveness from God for our sins is stop sinning and walk a righteous path. No blood sacrifice is required!
Psalm 49:8 says...
a brother cannot redeem a man, he cannot give his ransom to God.
If the Christians are correct that you can blame and make accountable an innocent person for the sins/crimes of another, where is it documented that God changed his mind on this?

The Oneness of God.
“Hear, O Israel: The Lord is our God, the Lord is one.”

Deuteronomy 6:4
And now, O Lord our God, please deliver us from his hand, so that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that You are the Lord God alone.”
2 Kings 19:19
“And the Lord shall become King over all the earth; on that day shall the Lord be one, and His name one.”
Zechariah 14:9
“Have we not all one father? Has not one God created us? Why should we betray, each one his brother, to profane the covenant of our forefathers?”
Malachi 2:10
While matter can be broken down into sub-atomic particles God’s unique oneness cannot be subdivided because He’s indivisible and has no need for an intermediary. God declares...
“I am the first, and I am the last, and beside me there is no God. And who is like me?”
Isaiah 44:6-7
“I am the Lord that makes all things, that stretches the heavens, ALONE; that spreads abroad the earth by Myself.”
Isaiah 44:24
“You are My witnesses,” says the Lord, “and My servant whom I chose,” in order that you know and believe Me, and understand that I am He; before Me no god was formed and after Me none shall be.
Isaiah 43:10
For so said the Lord, the Creator of heaven, Who is God, Who formed the earth and made it, He established it; He did not create it for a waste, He formed it to be inhabited, “I am the Lord and there is no other.
Isaiah 45:18
“God is not a man that he should lie, neither the Son of Man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? Or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?”
Numbers 23:!9
"Do not put your trust in princes, nor in the Son of Man, in whom there is no salvation."
Psalm 146:3
(Don’t the Christians refer to Jesus as the Son of Man?)
======================================
Tertullian (155 A.D.to 220 A.D.) is the one who invented the Trinity around the beginning of the 3rd century. He is also the man who coined the terms, “Old Testament,” and “New Testament.”

Do people need Jesus in order for God to forgive them of their sins? According to God via His prophet Yeshayahu (Isaiah), the answer is 'no.'
"Seek the Lord when He is found, call Him when He is near.
The wicked shall give up his way, and the man of iniquity his thoughts, and he shall return to the Lord, Who shall have mercy upon him, and to our God, for He will FREELY pardon."
Yeshayahu (Isaiah) 55: 6-7
A sacrifice, human or animal, is not required!
