Something else that is helpful to point out, though, is that the Quran actually does not teach that no one can bear the sins of another. Looking carefully at the relevant Quranic verses, all five of them teach that “no bearer of burdens can bear the burdens of another.” It is not that no person can bear the sins of another, but that anyone who is already a sinner is in no place to bear the sins of others. Since Muslims believe that Jesus did not bear any sins, theoretically Islamic theology should be compatible with Jesus bearing the burdens of others.
