Three hundred years later the Roman Emperor decided he could use Jesus as a symbol to win a civil war and made Christianity the state religion. Those who didn't go along were put to death. Since it would have been embarrassing to blame the Empire for Jesus's death, the Romans promulgated the story that the Jews did it. Easy to sell that narrative to ignoramuses who can't read very well.


Man did you miss that one. Yes, the Romans did the act, but Pilate wanted to release him. He found no guilt in Jesus. The Jews brought in liars to give false testimony and then incited the Jewish people against him. Pilate's job was to keep the peace and he crucified Jesus to avoid a riot. Pilate was a pawn of the Jewish leadership. That's all in the Bible written well before Constantine, most of it before the fall of Jerusalem. The Jews paid the price 40 years later when God sent in Titus to destroy Israel and disperse them throughout the empire.
Open your eyes to the truth. You're blind to the salvation that's right in front of you, free for the asking.
