Depends on which sense you're referring to. Did anybody force Him to lay down His life? No. Did somebody commit the physical act of killing Him? Yes.

Judas betrayed Him.
The Jewish leaders had Him arrested and put Him through six illegal trials.
Pontius Pilate, knowing that Jesus had done no wrong, acceded to mob rule, had Jesus scourged almost to the point of death, allowed Jesus to suffer His cruel fate and released a murderous insurrectionist instead.
The soldiers actually scourged Him (on Pilate's orders).
Other soldiers drove nails through His hands and feet and gambled for His clothing.
Yes, there were people who committed the physical acts.

I guess its plain to see that this is confusing for me. What exactly are the supporters of this find trying to accomplish? Are there people using this so-called "Book of Judas" to advocate an absence of personal responsibility? If Judas is "the one who is lost" in John 17:12 is he more culpable than the other players in the physical acts that led to Jesus' death? Is any person or any act truly unforgivable in the eyes of the Lord?
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
