There is a revived movement about it. A woman in one of our Master's Table food ministries got up and preached it. Unfortunately the servers didn't know it was false doctrine, so they let her rant. That ministry is about feeding the homeless, so the Christians there were not prepared for such things. The center of that false teaching is that Jesus was a co-sinner with all us other sinners. This is popular among addicts, mostly homeless who want to pass the blame of their misery onto God, as though God is forcing them to suffer shame like Jesus did. BAD stuff!
The truth of it is in the Lamb of God. Under the law an innocent lamb was offered up for sin sacrifice, and a
"scape goat" followed. It had to be perfect in every way. Of course, no sheeps' lamb would be a sinner. But it's body and blood was required to atone for sin. Jesus was the absolute perfect Lamb of God, sinless by necessity, acceptable to the Father to deal with sin once and for all, for all believers of the gospel of Christ.
On the cross, like the Jews did of old placing their hands on the scape goat, putting upon it their sins, Father God put our sins upon Jesus. The goat then was let out of the city to wander and supposedly perish with their sins. It wasn't Jesus, or that goat, that was separated from God, but sin was. Since Jesus temporarily "became" sin for all of us on that cross, the Father had to turn His face from Jesus. That didn't last long, for by the time Jesus rose from the grave that was settled with the Father God. I am among those who believe Jesus left those sins in that part of Hades where He preached to the captives there who were eligible to be led out by Jesus. They are the ones who rose from their graves in Matthew 27:51-53 (KJV)
[SUP]51 [/SUP] And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent; [SUP]52 [/SUP] And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, [SUP]53 [/SUP] And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.
