The Jewish hierarchy arranged for him to be crucified because he spoke against and ignored the Jewish traditions. At first, even his own family did not believe in him, but later on his brother James became one of the foremost leaders of the early Christian church.
But..so then you consider him a Christian? I thought he was supposed to be a part of god . Christians are people who try to be "Christ-like" and accept him as such. At least that's how I understood it?
Also, it was part of god's eternal plan that he was to be sacrificed. That IS the WHOLE CRUX of the religion. It's what he was created for, his purpose. There is no blame attached to Jews. He even instructed Judas to go and tell the Roman snatch team where to find him.
I never understood that blame the church attached to Jews for hundreds of years- they blamed them for killing jesus when it was supposedly his sacrificial purpose to die and take all the sins etc.
Millions of jews have died over the centuries for that prejudice.
The New Testament plainly states that the Jews killed Jesus. On top of that the Babylonian Talmud brags that the Jews used 5 different methods to kill Jesus. So the evidence from the fairy tales is clear: the Jews killed Jesus.
