He was able to forstall his excecution a couple times by claiming the legal protection of being a Roman citizen -- that's basically what the second half of the Book of Acts is about.
However, claiming that Christ as the Living God was *not* grounds for excecution. The Roman pantheon recognized several living gods. Defying the Emperor, on the other hand, was grounds for execution and that was eventually what happened to him.

No. He was a Roman prisoner for the 3rd time. Rome was tired of the complaints from the Jews.

He was. And he was spared crucifixion BECAUSE he was a Roman citizen and beheaded in Rome.

Christ was not "A living god" He is "THE LIVING GOD"
