5 But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed.
6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.
7 He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; he was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth.
8 By oppression and judgment he was taken away. And who can speak of his descendants? For he was cut off from the land of the living; for the transgression of my people he was stricken.
9 He was assigned a grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death, though he had done no violence, nor was any deceit in his mouth.
10 Yet it was the LORD's will to crush him and cause him to suffer, and though the LORD makes his life a guilt offering, he will see his offspring and prolong his days, and the will of the LORD will prosper in his hand.
Isaiah 53:5-10
Jesus being a guilt offering is not as a substitution for our death. Jesus did not take our punishment, he took punishment because of our transgressions and iniquities, because without forgiveness for these transgressions we could not receive forgiveness.
The step of our forgiveness is in accepting we killed Jesus, so we inherit the forgiveness. If we deny we killed Jesus we cannot be forgiven. So Jesus took on a defined physical punishment, which represented the sin of the world if taken by the world, but was not infinite, or cleansing of the whole world, it only forgave those who killed Him or caused His death.
This is an important spiritual divide. If Jesus died for all sin in the world, and resolved it all irrespective of faith or action, then sin is not an issue in the eternal realities. But this heresy removes the point of the cross and faith, its cleansing in our hearts and the divide between the Kingdom of heaven and that of this world. The power of the cross disappears once it is not personal, and remote, a court room balancing of the books without it being our death and our blood being shed. Once you see us guilty and the Lord taking it all, it begins to work in our hearts. God bless you
