I think you and everyone else on this thread missed the point entirely.
From your quote of John 11:49-53
49 Then one of them, named Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, spoke up, "You know nothing at all!
50 You do not realize that it is better for you that one man die for the people than that the whole nation perish."
51 He did not say this on his own, but as high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus would die for the Jewish nation,
52 and not only for that nation but also for the scattered children of God, to bring them together and make them one.
53 So from that day on they plotted to take his life.
If one is to believe what is written here, it plainly shows what happened.
Jesus' death was prophesied and inevitable. According to the Gospel of John, the High Priest saw it in vision and explained to the priests. They knew
exactly what they were doing according to John and knew it was to be the will of G-d.
This has absolutely nothing to do with guilt. It was according to the High Priest the will of G-d. Even Jesus according to the gospel knew what was
happening.
There simply was no choice in the matter, no guilt, and no fault. Jesus' death was Israel's salvation and by extension the world's salvation.
Read this closely again:
He did not say this on his own, but as high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus would die for the Jewish nation,
52 and not only for that nation but also for the scattered children of God, to bring them together and make them one.
Then look at this:
Matthew 15:24
I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel.
Now put this in historical context and I mean from 1948 all the way back to the 1st century. Even as a Jew, which I am, I realize that his death was a
catalyst on a scale unseen in human history. His death was the catalyst for historical change unlike any other figure in human history, sending shock
waves all the way to the present day. From the persecution and near extinction of the children of Israel(prophesied by Moses), the rebirth of Israel,
and the proclamation throughout the earth of an obscure Semitic deity worshiped by nomadic herders thousands of years ago. From Jerusalem, to Rome and
to Mecca the once obscure Semitic G-d of Abraham is now proclaimed. The impact on history from Rome to Mohammad has shifted human civilization. The
role that the Abrahamic faiths and its members have played in human history is monolithic on a scale hard to even begin to try to comprehend.
Had Jesus not died, the catalyst for this massive shift in human civilization would not of happened. If one is to believe the Gospel of John, the High
Priest saw this in prophecy all the way to the rebirth of Israel. He chastised the Pharisees for their ignorance, "You know nothing at all!", when
the Pharisees spoke of immediate political concerns.
One has to look at the bigger picture. This wasn't about guilt or fault. They had no choice. It was the inevitable Will of G-d and it would change
our world and the course of human history forever.

and prayed, "Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will but yours by done." An angel from heaven appeared to him and
strengthened him. And being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground.
Yes, all of the above is true, but Jesus himself OFFERED up his body for the sacrifice that was to come.
So, YES WE ALL ARE GUILTY!
Peace,

This is an illustration of the woman going into labor...the birth pangs. This is why you are given imagery of the sweat as great drops of blood...the
water is breaking.
Remember who His Body is. "I am the head, you are the body"....

If historical records are to be believed, Jesus killed Jesus. It was a self-fullfilled prophesy found in old testament writing that he chose to carry
out.

I'd like to point out Jesus was a jew himself. Most of the hate towards jews has roots in christianity and catholicism. (Which btw were beliefs that
started in judiasm) So let me get this straight, jews turn in jesus, romans kill jesus, romans take over christianity then change the translation to
fit what they like discarding what they don't and make catholicism, from there they change from being humble before the lord to wearing their best
clothes along with make up and confessions to ease their mind over past sins, then with a clear conscience continue sinning only to repeat the
process. Through all of it they all blame the jews for the downfall of a jew. Isn't that like the rest of the world hating every american if the
majority of america condoned the killing another american long after the fact? I guess it's easy to picture since most of the world's population
hates all of us for what our governments does.

Christians kills Christianity, I like it but it needs some work. Something along the lines of ChristStains killed Christianity. Christians couldn't
kill christianity as christianity was not the belief system of the Christ. "christians" made up a religion called unimaginativly "christianity"
that had less to do with the teachings of the christ over the iconography.

" The Jews Killed Jesus. Is that wrong? "
It most certainly is not that simple. That would be like blaming all the native Americans for killing Custer. There was a specific tribe involved with
Custer, and there was a concealed deception of who it was that really called for the death of Our Lord.
"Ye are of ye father the devil" What tribe was Our Lord speaking to when he said those words? He was speaking to the Pharisees who were questioning
Him, but they were Canaanites, the sons of Cain, not the tribe of Judah as a whole. The BAD was mixed in with the good, and that is still true
today.
bartleby.com...
When people hear about Israel, they think of the "Jews", but that is equally wrong, for there were twelve tribes, of very different types of people
and of those twelve tribes there was a division between the north and the south, not to mention the constant splitting of the attention away from God
and towards idolatry, and that division was coming from the Canaanites who dwelt among the Israelites.

Next, Pilate told Christ that he had power over his Life and Death and begged Christ to give him something to release him... To which Christ RESPONDED
-"You have NO POWER over me that MY FATHER in Heaven didn't give you...
That takes the Jews and the Romans out of the equation don't it?
As I stated, SIN KILLED HIM...
What's really funny is that you say your little ditty about 1/2 bible verses then turn right around and do what you dislike, paraphrasing and not
even quoting your source.
I will say that you are correct in that sin killed him. "It pleased the father (Pater) to bruise him" and "he was made sick".
I ask you a question. How is God able to Judge correctly? You might answer because he is perfect and that is fine. Then I would ask you what perfect
means to you. To me perfect means complete....nothing left to form. Another way to look at perfect is Just.
Justice is perfect, because it is a leveling of the playing field. It flattens mountains and raises valleys. He is able to judge justly having judged
through all.
Peace

The Jew where the cause of Jesus death. Without the Jews Jesus might have never died. But the Romans are the one who acually kill physically who
killed Jesus. But the Romans didnt want Jesus death. That was the Jews. And dont forget Judas to was one of the ones who has great gilt. But without
Judas Jesus still would have die because of the jews.

Maybe a bunch of Jewish people that lived 2000 years ago killed Jesus. I don't know, i wasn't there. Maybe.
But saying "the Jews killed Jesus" is blaming not a bunch of long dead people, is blaming a whole ethnicity. And that is just wrong.
Just like saying "the Germans killed the Jews". You don't blame a whole nation for the mistake of a few.
I'm not saying that's what you're doing, I'm just saying maybe you chose the wrong words to express what you meant?
I agree completely. How could ANYONE know, since nothing was written about Jesus until 150 years or so after the fact, and not one of us, except
perhaps those who have access to a time machine, and that would, in effect, make you one of the Montauk Boys. I think the whole thing was staged by
the Jewish underground of the time, in an effort to have a risen Saviour that had beaten death, something that would counter anything the ruling
class, the Romans had at the time. You just don't know who, if anyone,did kill him. And, by the way, his name was not,and is not, Jesus Christ, that
is a fake name, and a false God, and... a depiction of Jesus on the cross hanging in a church is Idol Worship.

Technically G-d was the cause of Jesus' death. Without the death of Jesus, according to the High Priest Caiaphas, Israel and indirectly the world
could not be saved. Caiaphus knew it. Jesus knew it. Even Judas knew Jesus had to die.
How hard is it for people to understand that?
The High Priest knew Jesus' death was G-d's Will. How does blame, guilt or fault apply to the Will of G-d?
If anyone was to be blamed, it was the Human Race, for warranting the event in the first place.

I think God most like provoke. He knew what would happen when one came with real power to earth. The supposed holy men would get him killed. But end
the end. I think it would Satan in them that spoke in there ears. Everybody has free will. God nor Satan makes anybody do anything. They just give you
the options you can take.

Jesus was killed by the same reasons we argue if God is real or not to day. The Jews and the people back then were just as blind as we are now.
If Jesus came back today we wouldent believe it if it was so. Most of us even the Christians would call him a false profit.
And we will do so when the time comes it is already prophesied in the bible.
The way we argue about our own religion right now is told to us in the Bible. But still we dont care and walk in the same circle as usual. We ask to
many questions instead of listening. And we compete between our selves about who's got the best answer. Just like they did in the old days.
We dont seek the truth but the honor of having the best argument. But is that going to save you or make you any smarter. The Bible mentions something
about us trolling with words and twisting the truth.

" The Jews and the people back then were just as blind as we are now. "
I'm sorry to say, that you don't get it either.
There's a huge deception that Jesus points out to the people he was speaking to as well as an alarm to the people within earshot of His comments. In
John 8, he was telling everyone the Pharisees [ the so-called bigshots, the elite of the day ] that they were kenites.
Do you know what a kenite is? A son or sons of cain. Why does that matter? Because cains father was satan not adam. The proof is in the geneaology of
adam where cains name is not listed.
And there was no stinking apple tree in the garden at all. Scripture uses the term tree for people many times. And please don't quote me some
blowhard preacher who repeats falsehoods to his flock as proof.
Anyways I do understand why you felt that way, I was as ignorant as anyone concerning the Bible and couldn't of cared less, and also believed the
popular myths that even preachers tell their flocks [ no one said all the preachers were good ones ] , until I heard about the 5 deceptions of islam
which started me on a journey of seeking out the truth.
I'm sure you have no intention of changing your opinion anytime soon, I just needed to say my piece.

That's less true then it is true. Satan was not the father of cain.
Cano, the most brilliant mind and active leader of the near-by colony of friendly Nodites. Cano was very sympathetic with the Adamic regime; in fact,
he was the sincere spiritual leader of those neighboring Nodites who favored friendly relations with the Garden.
The fateful meeting occurred during the twilight hours of the autumn evening, not far from the home of Adam. Eve had never before met the beautiful
and enthusiastic Cano--and he was a magnificent specimen of the survival of the superior physique and outstanding intellect of his remote progenitors
of the Prince's staff. And Cano also thoroughly believed in the righteousness of the Serapatatia project. (Outside of the Garden, multiple mating was
a common practice.)
Influenced by flattery, enthusiasm, and great personal persuasion, Eve then and there consented to embark upon the much-discussed enterprise, to add
her own little scheme of world saving to the larger and more far-reaching divine plan. Before she quite realized what was transpiring, the fatal step
had been taken. It was done.
Cano, a decendent of the "fallen" was the father of Cain. It wasn't of the plan of Satan, but the Devil, though through rulership rules it can also
be seen as Satan's plan.
Know the truth now!
