a person for his sins, He does not do so for His own satisfaction or compensation, as the
Christian dogma proclaims, but for curbing evil and purifying the sinner. God forgives the
faults and sins of those who turn away from their sins and reform themselves. He does
not punish them or inflict punishment on others on their behalf, and this does not go
against God's justice. As the Qur'an (6/54), states, "Your Lord has decreed upon
Himself mercy: that any of you who does wrong out of ignorance and then
repents after that and corrects himself—indeed, He is Forgiving, Most
Merciful."
The third part of the Christian doctrine of atonement is that Jesus paid the penalty for
the original and other sins of people by his death on the cross at Calvary and that salvation
cannot be obtained without belief in the saving power of his blood. As J. F. de Groot
states, "Since Christ, God Incarnate, has taken upon Himself our sins in order to atone
for them by giving satisfaction to God's demand for justice, He is the mediator between
God and man."[7] This dogma denes not only God's mercy but also His justice.[8]

To demand the price of blood in order to forgive people's sins demonstrates complete
lack of mercy, and to punish a guiltless person is undoubtedly the height of injustice.

A number of refutations have been put forward to confirm the falsity of the belief in
atonement and crucifixion. The following are only a few:
First: The dogma of crucifixion of Jesus Christ to atone for the original sin is based on a
flawed foundation, and anything built on flawed foundation is itself flawed. The idea that
Adam's sin was passed on to his offspring contradicts the verses in the Torah which,
according to the New Testament, Jesus came not to destroy but to fulfill. In Deuteronomy
24/16, we also read, "The fathers shall not be put to death for their children, nor
shall the children be put to death for their fathers; a person shall be put to
death for his own sin." In Ezekiel 18/20 we also find, "The soul who sins shall die.
The son shall not bear the guilt of the father, nor the father bear the guilt of
the son." According to Matthew 16/27, Jesus himself said, "Then He will reward each
according to his works." This is in agreement with the Qur'an (53/38-40) which
states, "…That no soul shall bear the burden of another, and that man shall
have nothing but what he strives for, and that [the fruit of] his striving shall
soon be seen."
Second: According to Genesis 5/5, "All the days that Adam lived were 930 years,
and he died." This proves the falsehood of Genesis 2/17, which states, "For in the day
