What would have happened if Pilate had spared Christ’s life and prevented his crucifixion? We’d be without a Savior, that’s what! Christ HAD TO DIE. His purpose in coming to Earth was to die; to shed His blood for our sins. It just happened to be Pilate’s unknowing job, to see that the crucifixion HAPPENED.
I agree, some theologians even grant that same sort of eternal clemency to Judas, and the Sanhedrin. Scripture is clear, the MOB shouted for Christ’s death. In any event, we shall KNOW when we enter heaven. I hope to see you there, along with all the other sinners, whom Jesus came to save.
