You are completely missing the point.
The Jews nor the Romans "killed" Jesus, he died by choice. He did not die because of the multitudes gathered there that day, he died for us all; everyone from the beginning to the end of time. I killed him just as much as the guards who bound and beat him. It was our sins.
I cannot understand why men of high religious stature argue over this point. It is irrelevant. The point lies elsewhere, you just have to think on a deeper level.
