Who killed Jesus Christ?

Question

It is very unusual that, up to now, the Catholic Church & Christians have not established who killed our Lord Jesus Christ. There is one documentary film made by historians and other scientists, showing only the line-up of suspects, comprising of: Judas, Caiaphas, Pilate or people but no conclusion was made. Earlier, I asked a question: "Was there a mistrial of Jesus Christ's case?" In this Q & A, one answered very well but he outdone it, requiring me to change my follow-up question. 

Here, we concluded that defendant Jesus deserved to be acquitted & released while complainant, Caiaphas, had maliciously prosecuted Jesus. Moreover, Pilate, acting as judge, gave an unjust judgment, giving no room or allowance for defendant Jesus to make an appeal. Thus, they immediately put Jesus in torture. Please take note that the case of Jesus Christ should be a civil case but Caiaphas, with his influence & power, made it a criminal, employing an unlawful arrest tantamount to abduction when the arresting officers who were equipped with weapons were men of Caiaphas. Jesus was subjected to interrogation under arbitrary detention in the house of Caiaphas as well as humiliation & mockery by the scribes & the council. 

But who really killed Jesus Christ? It would appear that Caiaphas had the only motive to kill Jesus after he bored grudge against Jesus after so many public discourses in the past. Although Judas went to the Chief Priest, he was deceived to betray his Lord. Pilate, on the other hand, was only a judge to try the case of Jesus. And the people would appear that they did not comprise of the entire public but the majority of which were people of Caiaphas.

In this vein, for Jesus to meet his end by crucifixion, there was conspiracy. It was Caiaphas who pushed people to choose the sentence of death. In short, there was an evident pre-meditated intention, making him as the principal conspirator for the homicide (bordering to murder) of Jesus. Judas and the people were obviously used as the accomplices while Pilate became an accessory in this case of conspiracy.

Roman Legal due process seemed to play the biggest role although ll the figures you mentioned have varying levels of influence.

Judas was not really that responsible for the Death. The arrest yes but he did not condemn Jesus in the trial.

Pilate tried his hardest within the occupational law not to kill Jesus.

Caiaphas probably had the most influence on the death of Jesus.

Gravity was the eventual culprit. The particular execution method was designed that way.

Someone that never existed could not be killed!

The bible is what is called "Faction"  A fictional story set in a factual time and place.  Thus the time, place and real historical characters are all correct but the fictional characters and stories are not!
	
There is not one single mention of Jesus in the entire Roman record - that is right - not one! At the same time as he was supposed to have been around there were a number of Jews claiming to be the messiah - all of whom are well recorded!

There is not a single contemporary record from any source and even the bible mentions of him like all other references were not written until many years after his supposed death!

He was supposed to have been a huge problem to the Romans and produced wonderful miracles but still not one contemporary record?

Even the bible mentions of him like all other references were not written until many years after his supposed death!

Pilate is recorded in the Roman record as a somewhat lack luster man but no mention of a Jesus, a trial or crucifixion that would surely have been used to make him look brighter!

At best he was an amalgam of those others but almost certainly never existed!

According to the story,
Jesus refused to defend himself.

That's not a good strategy for any court.

You can't even call it a trial
if no defense was raised.

That's more like a lynching.
A willing lynching..

There is no real record of such a person ever existing, much less being executed in the manner described.

Personally, I am agnostic as to the historicity of the Jesus character, but recognize it as an essentially moot point.

Peter, under the direct influence of the Holy Spirit gives this answer:

 “Fellow Israelites, listen to this: Jesus of Nazareth was a man accredited by God to you by miracles, wonders and signs, which God did among you through him, as you yourselves know.  This man was handed over to you by God’s deliberate plan and foreknowledge; and you, with the help of wicked men,[d] put him to death by nailing him to the cross.  But God raised him from the dead, freeing him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for death to keep its hold on him."

Acts 2:22-24

and again while speaking to the Sanhedrin:

Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them: “Rulers and elders of the people!  If we are being called to account today for an act of kindness shown to a man who was lame and are being asked how he was healed,  then know this, you and all the people of Israel: It is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified but whom God raised from the dead, that this man stands before you healed.

Acts 4:8-11

In the name of Allah, the most beneficent, the most merciful.

{ Prophet Eisa ( AS ) Jesus alive.

" [Mention] when Allah said, "O Jesus, indeed I will take you and raise you to Myself and purify you from those who disbelieve and make those who follow you [in submission to Allah alone] superior to those who disbelieve until the Day of Resurrection. Then to Me is your return, and I will judge between you concerning that in which you used to differ. ( Quran 3:55 )

" And as for those who disbelieved, I will punish them with a severe punishment in this world and the Hereafter, and they will have no helpers." ( Quran 3:56 )

Pontius Pilate...

Try to read and recite the APOSTLES CREED...

APOSTLES CREED is a prayer that tells a story about Jesus Christ

APOSTLES CREED

I believe in God,
the Father Almighty,
Creator of Heaven and earth.

I believe in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died and was buried.
He descended to the dead.
On the third day, He rose again.
He ascended to Heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the Holy Catholic Church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and life everlasting. Amen.
