Well if you believe that fairy tale nonsense it would be his dad. It says several times he sent him here to die.

Jesus Christ's death was prophesied in the Old Testament prophets. Jesus Christ allowed himself to be crucified. His men tried to prevent it....you know Peter cut off a Praetorian's ear...Jesus healed the ear and told his men he would let himself go along with them. Jesus Christ allowed himself to be crucified, because without his death, the shedding of his blood, so to speak, there would be no New Covenant...the Covenant of Christ's Blood.
We know that the Jewish leadership of his time condemned Jesus Christ to death on the cross; we know that the Romans carried out the crucifixion.
And look at what happened to the Jews and the Romans soon later: the Jews were run out of their homeland and scattered across Europe, and the Roman Empire fell...the great and proud Roman Empire simply faded into history. It is obvious that both nations were punished in some way for their part in what they had done to Jesus Christ, even if it was his wish to be crucified.
That is because he was the anointed one. In the Old Testament, it teaches that you must not raise a hand against the anointed. Doing so incurs the Wrath of God, as you can see from what happened to the Jews and the Romans.
This is the viewpoint of an Evangelical Christian.
However, it is not Christ's death, but His resurrection, that mainly concerns Christians, for that is the good news that St. Paul preached: it is the message of the apostles. The Good News is that Christ rose from the dead, and we who believe in Him may also find new life.

well, the religious and political leaders, jewish and roman, felt very threatened by His message-the jewish leaders demanded his death, the romans carried it out...
but as for who was ultimately responsible? the bible says that 'all have sinned, all come short of the glory of God'...but i'm not about the business of condemning others, i can only speak for myself and my own sins...which have been enough to put Him on that cross-so i would have to honestly say that since He died for me, I am responsible

GOD. It was HIS plan that Christ Jesus die on the cross. Jesus could have called 10,000 angels...He could have just come down off the cross on His own. But that wasn't the plan. And Jesus DIED when HE decided to die. No one killed him. The Romans and Jews were just simple pawns in God's great plan.

The gospel of Matthew, 27-25,says that Jews are, "Then answered all the people," (Jews addressing Pilate,) "and said, 'His blood be on us, and on our children.'" However, I think that people writing gospels in the mid-first century were terrified of Rome and tried to get the message across that they aren't blamed. Now that it is safe to say, Rome is responsible.

Of course many IDIOTS will tell you that the Jews are responsible (nice way to justify their hatred of Jewish people.)
But, doesn't God decide who lives and who dies? If your innocent baby is killed by a drunk driver today, isn't it "God's will?"
If somebody survives an airplane crash, isn't is "God's will?"
So, if your God "sacrificed his own son," don't blame anybody else and don't ask stupid questions, unless... God made you stupid and God made you ask such idiotic questions about a character from a fairy tale.

God...
After all, he sent his son to die for the sins of man. The men that actually killed him were just an instrument in the hands of God...

Directly .. and in descending order: Satan, the Jews, and the Romans.
Indirectly: Anyone who has ever sinned, or ever will sin.

ITS A LONG STORY BUT heres THE BOTTOM LINE:
Jhn 10:18 No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.
