Why do people think Christ died for us when it was the Romans that killed him?

[Whatacroc]

He didn't request to be killed by the Romans he was simply killed as were all the others.

 

[Davies1]

He did not die.

 

[DrDeanCrosby]

Jesus could have asked God to save Him from being murdered but He chose not to so that his torture could be remembered with an eternal symbolic significance;"He died as a sacrifice for our sins".

 

[MpendaYesu]

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

1 Thessalonians 4:14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
