Hello Dave, in hebrew the term for sin and sin-offering are the same, chatta't. Jesus never sinned, and he was not made sin. Sin in something, that someone does. Jesus was a offering for our sins. Think deeply about this, if Jesus was not holy, the Father would not have been pleased with his dying on the cross. If he was not holy, the whole salvation plan falls apart. I do not believe most bibles have translated 2 corinthians5-21 correctly. Remember it also saids that Jesus was made our righteousness, Jesus was holy or he was not holy. He was holy, all this is said in love, your brother sean.
Also sin is an act, in thought ,word or deed, it is not something tangible. Nobody can be made sin.
Let's look at other verses as well, like Isaiah 53-11, my righteous servant. 'For Christ also has once suffered for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous' 1 peter 3-18. Jesus was 'an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet savour',ephesians 5-2 . 'Be holy, as I am Holy' 1 peter 1-16. 'Through Jesus Christ who, from God , is wisdom and righteousness and santification and salvation to all of us' 1 corinthians 1-30.
