Transferability of Sin

A concept, supported by numerous biblical examples, in which the sinful actions of one person can be ethically transferred to an innocent person. This is one of the foundational themes taught in the Bible, but one that is rarely acknowledged today.

A logical corollary of the transferability of sin is that the innocent person can then be punished for the sins of the guilty. This concept, considered immoral by all world religions, naturally leads to the idea of collective responsibility.
