A couple of problems: you still have not explained how justice is served by Christ's sacrifice; and, as I recall, the New Testament does, in fact, say that He took on our sins. I will check my recollection on the second point. On the first, let me underscore: if it is not just to kill an innocent on behalf of another, then God's righteous wrath cannot be appeased by what is unjust, namely Christ's sacrifice. If it "works" because God appeases Himself, He may as well as simply forgive us.......

I cannot find a good proof- text. Maybe I just inferred it. After all, if Christ is to die for our sins, shouldn't He assume the burden of guilt first. Otherwise, the injustice of killing an innocent party is even greater. Also, for Christ to die, He has to bear our sin. After all, He has none of His own. That is why He descends into Hell. But, by the power of God, He conquers sin and death, and is resurrected.
