No you didn't. You were spreading a charismatic heresy. Here is it again, Acts 8:18-20.
"And when Simon saw that through the laying on of the apostles’ hands the Holy Spirit was given, he offered them money, saying, “Give me this power also, that anyone on whom I lay hands may receive the Holy Spirit.” But Peter said to him, “Your money perish with you, because you thought that the gift of God could be purchased with money! "
Keep barking like a dog and shouting to the top of your lungs with your heresy, you ain't gonna change what the Scripture says.

He didn't "become sin". He became the sin-sacrifice.
2Co_5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
Christ wasn't "made sin" he was made to be the sin sacrifice. That's what Paul means and this same thing is used in the OT, "sin" being shorthand of "sin offering".
Lev 4:29 And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the sin offering, and slay the sin offering in the place of the burnt offering.

From H2398; an offence (sometimes habitual sinfulness), and its penalty, occasion, sacrifice, or expiation; also (concretely) an offender: - punishment (of sin), purifying (-fication for sin), sin (-ner, offering).
Here "sin offering" is actually just one word that means sin, but it is meant to be understood as the offering for sin not sin itself and Paul being Jewish would know and use shorthand way of speaking of the offering for sin.
The verse should be understood as "For he hath made him to be a sin offering for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him."
(TLV) He made the One who knew no sin to become a sin offering on our behalf, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.
(Williams) He made Him who personally knew nothing of sin to be a sin-offering for us, so that through union with Him we might come into right standing with God.
Barnes:
2 Corinthians 5:21
For he hath made him to be sin for us - The Greek here is, ‘for him who knew no sin, he hath made sin, or a sin-offering for us.’
Clarke:
2 Corinthians 5:21
For he hath made him to be sin for us - He made him who knew no sin, (who was innocent), a sin-offering for us.
Matthew Henry:
He was made sin; not a sinner, but sin, that is, a sin-offering, a sacrifice for sin.
Yes He did. "As Moses lifted the serpent in the desert, so must the Son of Man be lifted up." Serpent was the symbol of Satan. God used fiery serpents to discipline disobedient Israelites in the wilderness. When Moses hanged a bronze serpent on the pole, that was the embodiment of sin being crucified on the cross, and whoever looked at it might be saved. And then Jesus compared himself with that serpent rather than anything or anybody else, because that symbolizes our old self being crucified on the cross with Christ (Gal. 2:20).
Neither did you bother to read mine. The purpose of animal sacrifice was to transfer sin onto the sinless animal, aka, "lamb without blemish". That's why "He who knew no sin" was made to be sin for us. However, animal sacrifice only temporarily covered sin, Jesus's crucifixion paid for the penalty of sin once for all, for the weight of sin from all mankind was laid on Him. That's physically true, as the victim of crucifixion was crushed by their own weight and suffocated to death..
No he wasn't, but the weight of all sins - past, present and future sins - were laid upon Him. "Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!" (John 1:29) And how did He take away the sin of the world? By BECOMING sin. All the sins were transferred onto the sin offering. Without that His crucifixion would be in vain.

Sin doesn't weigh anything. It's intangible. Sin is only symbolically placed upon a sin sacrifice. What happens is the sacrifice is slain, and God forgave the sins. At the cross Christ was slain, which allowed people anywhere and at any period of time in the future to repent and receive forgiveness.

Yes it did, I told you victims of crucifixion were crushed by their own weight. You don't believe me, do your own research. If that's still intangible for you, think about obesity. That's literal and physical weight of sin wrapped around our organs and weighing us down. Saying "sin doesn't weigh anything" is trivializing the gravity of sin. God didn't just forgive, a PRICE must be paid. "You were bought with a price," and that price was paid in full on the cross.
