Post JESUSBARRED FRPM HEAVEN?

{Moderators,
Being new to this board, I was unsure if this topic could be posted on MRD, so I also posted it in RR&P. If there's any problem with it being here, or with posting the same topic on two forums, please let me know. Thanks}

Greetings to all,
We're all familiar with the idea that God is so Holy, he cannot allow any sin into heaven. We also know that, according to Christian dogma, Jesus was not only punished for the sins of Humanity, but actually became Sin itself.
Considering the creative tortures Yahweh has devised for all people who are "dead in sin", it would only make sense for God to send Christ to Hell-permanently. Unless, of course, Christ accepted Christ. Or maybe, in this case it's the reverse: Christ must accept God. But Christ is God!
Where am I going with this?
Hmmmmmmm.....
Ah yes!
1. Jesus became sin.
2. God cannot allow any sin into Heaven, being a Holy God.
3. Therefore, God cannot allow Jesus into Heaven, since he has not paid the price for sin {eternal Punishment}.
4 Since Christ is God, God cannot, in good conscience, allow Himself into Heaven, because that would violate His Righteousness {which He lost when part of Him became tainted with Sin anyways}.

And folks wonder why we think Christianity is just a little bit silly...
Stay Gold,

I thought that the idea was that Jebus more just took responsibility for the sins of man, not so much 'became sin'. But you could do a similar argument to prove that god IS evil! This would lead you back to that one topic about how could one differentiate between god and satan.
