Finally. I knew you had to understand me. It was frustrating that you were dancing around it. You've proven yourself to be quite a good dancer.

Of course it wasn't the Christians that crucified Jesus, there weren't any. And according to Leviticus 24:16 the punishment for blasphemy is death. And the Romans crucified all that were a threat to Caesar, and all who claimed to be the messiah. Jesus knew this, as a messiah was crucified by the Romans when he was young. That's why he wanted to keep the claim secret.

And by your wide ranging definition God sacrifice all but a handful of the human race, and the critters, with the flood.

As I've been taught since a kid it was God's plan to sacrifice the Lamb of God for the sins of the world. If that's true, a human sacrifice OF HIS SON was part of His plan.
