You don't need 100% participation of anything to lay judgment! I never understood any rational thinking that says it has to be 100% or its nothing. Try explaining that to a Muslim about the Crusades. All Christians are guilty like it or not. The scripture states he was turned over by the Jews. Not 47 or 119 or 1789 Jews, but the Jews, period. Scripture was written by Jews, so sue them!

The mass majority that had the power to say "Crucify him and let his blood be on us and our children" were the ones that that sealed his fate, and they were Jews, but you miss the whole point! He was sent as a sacrifice. The Lamb of God sent to forgive your sins, not matter who you are! That was his whole life's purpose. In order to fulfill it, he had to be executed. On several occasions Jews wanted to stone him for his blasphemy, but did not! The Romans killed him, but the Jewish leadership and mob wanted him dead. The mob was Jewish. the leadership was Jewish. But he went willingly to his fate. That is what happened!

You may see it differently if he was the son of God or not. Personally you can see it anyway you want. It will never change the fact of what is! He is the way the truth and the life! And he that believes in him will never die! Do not fear his teaching, embrace them and you will find your life enlightened in ways you could never imagine! Jesus did not die as a Christian, he died as a Jew and a fulfillment of Gods promise to all men.

Oh, so if the Muslims do it, then that makes it okay for you to do the same. (rolls eyes)

The vast majority of Christians understand that this was not intended to place the blame on every Jew, everywhere, for all time.

Do not fear his teaching

Fear his teaching? Most of what Jesus taught was completely consistent with Judaism (understandably). In fact, most of it was taken directly from the Hebrew scriptures. So no, I have no problem with most of what Jesus taught. It is what was later taught about him with which I disagree.
