I could have stopped it from happening look at my post 97The Roman Empire, represented by Pontius Pilate. Come on, washing his hands was just dumb, and didn't relieve him of his responsibility. HE was the one in charge.

I understand.
Many men are responsible for the death of Jesus. One might say that all of mankind is, yet, God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, planned this from before the foundation of the earth.
What I am getting at is the reconciling of these two things.
That view leaves God making a soup with the table scraps of mankind. I see Him as much more active in this.
I've never considered the degrees of guilt...just that we are all guilty.Interesting. I guess then that those who belong to "the rest of the world" rather than those closest to Christ and those who are his "chosen people" are the least guilty to his death. Obviously, according to the gospel, the jews and Judas are more guilty than Pilate.
Who is responsible for the death of Jesus. Here are a few choices. Use your "free will" to choose one, and please add more, if you have others.
a) Jewish leaders
b) Roman guards
c) Judas
d) The Father
e) Me
Acts 2: 36 Let all the house of Israel therefore know assuredly that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified.”
Peter seems to be saying they crucified the messiah?

No argument from me on that. Jesus was crucified by Roman Soldiers on the order of Pilate and instigated at least in part by the Sanhedrin.
The Sanhedrin had absolutely nothing to do with it. It was the High Priest and his cronies. See my post #87 in this thread.
I am to blame.No argument from me on that. Jesus was crucified by Roman Soldiers on the order of Pilate and instigated at least in part by the Sanhedrin. I am simply saying that we need to remember that this could not have happened unless it was within the will of God
Matthew 26:53-54
53 Or do you think that I cannot call upon my Father, and he would put at my disposal at once more than twelve legions of angels? 54 How then would the scriptures be fulfilled that it must happen in this way?”
In the end, whatever the proximate causes of Jesus death, it must have happened that way. Assigning blame serves no good purpose.
Matthew 26:57-67 [Full Chapter]
[ Jesus Before the Sanhedrin ] Now those who had arrested Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders had gathered. But Peter was following him from a distance, as far as the courtyard of the high priest. And he went inside and was sitting with the officers to see the outcome. Now the chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were looking for false testimony against Jesus in order that they could put him to death
