Does Jesus' sacrifice disregard Ezekiel 18:20?

"The soul that sins shall die." - Ezekiel 18:20

Since Jesus was not "the soul that sins", he does not fulfill the law of Ezekiel 18:20. So how could he possibly have died for us?

Hmmm… ….I don’t think that means that it is not possible to kill innocent person. Also, according to the Bible, death couldn’t keep Jesus. Maybe that is because Jesus was righteous.

whom God raised up, having freed him from the agony of death, because it was not possible that he should be held by it.
Acts 2:24

Dear 108,
While you have a point with regards to Ezekiel 18:29-32, Jeremiah 31:30 is much more clear and succinct.

Jeremiah 31:30, "every one will die for his own iniquity". If any "do not speak according to this word, it is because they have no dawn" (Isaiah 8:20). Which is to say, they are speaking from darkness. Paul's false gospel of grace, the gospel of he cross, is totally bogus, and is from the realm of darkness.
