[what's up]

It was the Jews who insisted the Romans try Jesus, as they had not the legal power to condemn him to death.

Neither Pilate nor Agrippa wanted the case. The Jewish crowd would not accept Barrabas as an alternative...they insisted that Jesus be the one crucified.

Of course if he WASN'T killed, then he couldnt have given his life for your sins, or however that works?

You should be thanking the Pharisees, if anything. ;)

Who were "the Jews" if not the collaborationist Sanhedrin and appointed Jewish officials.
There were plenty of blashpemers in 30CE, i only know of one who was killed.
By claiming to be the Messiah, Jesus threatened Roman rule and the collaborationist power structure. It was these elements that killed him.
