It's not the people who refuse to scapegoat that are running away from their misdeeds. It's the ones who rely on a scapegoat to do it. As for our debt, there is nothing someone can do that can't justly be undone by them. Especially if they have an eternity to do it. Yahweh claims we deserve hellfire for existing, sets the bar too high for us to get out of debt on our own, and the only way out he gives us is to scapegoat someone that we must believe in without evidence. Also we're expected to believe that this is a good guy, instead of the source of our problems in the first place.
In a just system, I should atone for my transgressions myself. No one else can do it for me. Also in that just system I will be able to pay my own debt, especially if I have an infinite amount of time to accomplish it. Someone who does everything in his power to force me into a position of absolute servitude is not the solution to my problem. He is the source of my problem.
