My concern is not that the Bible has been tampered with, but rather the human limitations and interpretations that could affect its accuracy. The authors would have tried to understand God but they aren't perfect. The intellectuals who study the authenticity of the historical documents are fallible.
If you owe someone a debt, and that debt is paid by a third party, then that debt is never forgiven at all. God doesn't need someone to pay off debt to forgive. He can simply forgive. That's what true forgiveness is. There is no payment in forgiveness.
If Jesus died in our place, then he would have suffered the punishment that comes as a result of sin, which is death (Romans 6:23). So he either died physically or spiritually. If he died physically so that we would not die physically, then why do people still suffer physically death?
The other option is spiritual death which is likely the type of death Paul was talking about. Obviously Jesus didn't die spiritually. Therefore, he did not die in our place.
