Maybe you should try to comprehend what "the land of the living" means in Hebrew...It is an idiom...
Yeshayahu - Isaiah - Chapter 53
8 From imprisonment and from judgment he is taken, and his generation who shall tell? For he was cut off from the land of the living; because of the transgression of my people, a plague befell them.
Rashi's Commentary:
From imprisonment and from judgment he is taken: The prophet reports and says that the heathens (nations [mss., K’li Paz]) will say this at the end of days, when they see that he was taken from the imprisonment that he was imprisoned in their hands and from the judgment of torments that he suffered until now.
and his generation: The years that passed over him.
who shall tell?: The tribulations that befell him, for from the beginning, he was cut off and exiled from the land of the living that is the land of Israel for because of the transgression of my people, this plague came to the righteous among them.
Being cut off from the land of the living, you automatically assume it means death, which it doesn't...
You REALLY have to work hard to make it come out the way you want it to, don't you.
No, lawlessness in the biblical sense means without Torah...
If you say so, but your accusations carry the implication of actively hurting community and you know it. You are being duplicitous and you know it. You lack the principle of dealing honestly. THAT deception, among others.

Actually, Isaiah 53:12 uses the word death which in Hebrew is 'maveth' in transliteration. It's the same word used in, for instance, Job 27:15.
Job 27:15 Those that remain of him shall be buried in death: and his widows shall not weep.
Isaiah 53:12 from the Tanack
Therefore, I will allot him a portion in public, and with the strong he shall share plunder, because he poured out his soul to death, and with transgressors he was counted; and he bore the sin of many, and interceded for the transgressors
53:12 Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
Additionally, the fact that Isa. 53:9 states that ''His grave was assigned with wicked men'' should tell you that when Isa. 53:8 states that ''He was cut off from the land of the living'' it is referring to His actual death.
Understanding The Gospel has always been, and will always be confusing for non believers. Without Gods Holy Spirit in our heart, we cannot have an understanding of it. I didn't understand it until I surrendered my heart to Jesus. Now, I'm expecting sarcastic and cynical responses from the usual suspects out there.
