Christ was charged with sedition or treachery, which he could not have been guilty of because of his pacifism. The Roman leader, Pontius Pilate, did not want to kill Christ and passed the case to a man named Herod, who likewise did not want to kill Christ.
So who killed Christ? It seems the mob may have, in the sense of the chaos of the French Revolution--Jeruselum of Christ's time was purely chaotic. Christ may have been lynched by the types of moral defectives who did the lynching in our American history. The Christian Jews seem to say in their documents that Christ may not have died on the cross, and instead was taken down, possibly with the help of Roman Centurions, and brought to a cave to be nursed back to health by Mary Magdalen. Christ may have been protected by the centurions on his way to Calvary, and then saved by them after the Crucifixion, allowing him to return, and then ascend into Heaven.
Roman Centurions helped Christianity as more Gentiles joined Christ. James, Christ's brother, liberalized Jewish law on their behalf so that they could more easily be Christian. For instance, he removed the requirement of circumcision. This enraged the more orthodox Jewish Christians who then attacked the early Gentile Christians. The centurions then stepped in to protect the Gentile Christians, often called Paulists. Perhaps the centurions were rewarding the Christians for Christ's forgiveness of their actions against him: Christ's power of forgiveness.
Centurions were soldiers and not cops. This is significant to me as I have always had good relations with American soldiers where I have met them, often in party environments, yet my relationships with policemen have nearly always been frightening, especially in party environments. It may be that the cops of the time were from the local government, which was not Roman but Jewish. During Christ's time, Judaism was still thriving under Roman colonial rule: the period of Hillel, a true empathist. It was not until much later in the first Century that the Jewish rebellions resulted in their final suppression under Roman rule. This happened long after the initial Christians had passed on--an interesting us of the term for death, especially considering Christ's eternal status.
