Bible Note: Hello DP, You ask, "One question though where in scripture does it say Jesus “became sin"? Romans 8:3 tells us what God did: "...sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin". So, Christ came similar to, or in the appearance of sinful flesh, though being the God-man He did not posses a sinful nature. 2 Cor. 5:21 says, "He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him" (NASB) The Amplified reads, "For our sake He made Christ [virtually] to be sin Who knew no sin, so that in and through Him we might become [endued with, viewed as being in, and examples of] the righteousness of God [what we ought to be, approved and acceptable and in right relationship with Him, by His goodness]." Paul is saying that Jesus did not commit sin or have any personal aquaintence with it. As Robertson notes, "God "treated as sin" the one "who knew no sin."
