Crucifixion was a Roman punishment. The emperor of Rome commished the bible. Is it any suprise that all references to the Romans were softened?

Because it would be contradictory for the ROMAN church to state that ROMANS did it.
...Which is what indeed happened.
If it happened...

It was the Jewish Elders that handed Jesus to the Romans for punishement...they couldnt carry out Jesus punishment themselves...The Romans were the ones that disciplined anyone at that time since the Jews were under Roman rule...

The execution had to be carried out by the Romans according to the their laws at the time since the Romans had conquered the Jews and Jews were forbidden to carry out executions, but the death sentence was given by the Jewish clergy and then they incited the crowd to demand that Jesus be executed.
Jesus was a Jew and his condemnation was at the hands of Jews. The Romans just carried out their wishes.
For ginevra1weasley. You are incorrect. The Jews were a religion, yes, but Roman citizens, no. The Jews were a specific people living in Israel and the Romans had conquered them, but allowed them to have their own leaders, who were religious leaders as religion controlled their lives. It was they who conducted trials of heretics and religious enemies.

Cause some Jews were for his persecution..however more Romans were. It is just a majority thing. Not all Jews were for his persecution, those who were not kind of became Christians. However I was not there, i can not say who was actually against him and who wasn't. All I know is that if I was alive then, I would have freaked out and stoned a guy who brought back someone from the dead. But that is just me. lol

Because Jews were the people behind it.
It was the jews who were always agaist Jesus .
The roman person who declared the crucixion & those who comited it both of them were either jews or misguided by jews.

This is my own opinion on things
1. some people like to place blame when things are out of their control
2. God knew when he sent Jesus here what was going to happen
3. Last i looked he died for EVERYONE of us
Assuming you believe in #3 then in some way we all killed him now didnt we? It doesnt really matter who did what. God sent Jesus with a purpose and he fulfilled that purpose.

Hi. I'm Canadian. Does that mean I can't be Christian, also? "Roman" refers to nationality. "Jewish" refers to religion. The Jews were Roman and Jewish. Besides, Jesus forgives them for killing Him, so we do, too

It wasn't! It was the Pharisees and Sadducee's. They are the ones that wanted Jesus dead. They are the ones who questioned Jesus and who he was. It was them. They were worried that Jesus could put them in their place. (so to speak)

now that you mention it, that's an interesting theory.
but i think the more important part for christians why jesus died (to save us) and not who killed him. i mean he already knew he was gonna die, no difference in it eh?
