Exactly, but you missed the point We are all guilty of the death of Jesus all Jew, Gentile, Roman ALL not some ALL

This is the message: We have ALL fallen short in the Glory of G-d not just the jews or the gentiles but ALL.

Jesus came to die that is the prophecy if he had not been killed Christianity would be meaningless and cease to exsist.

You keep missing the message and are hung up on the word BLAME

NO the point, acknowledged now by most of the Churches' historians was specifically, purposefully to lay blood guilt on the jews, to help win converts to christianity from the principle source of converts: orthodox jews. The church now specifically disowns this blood guilt, in the wake of the Holocaust, but had no trouble reading what it says plainly in Matthew, for some 1400 years previously.

I keep missing the message because it changed dramatically, but, not, unfortunately, dramatically enough, in the aftermath of the Holocaust, and I am hung up on the evidence of the harm that the message has been allowed to do when manifested in church policy toward the jews over the last 1400 years.
