Who is to blame?The execution of Jesus can be thought of as caused by (singularly or in combination): 1) the Jews in general, 2) God, for the benefit of people in general, 3) the Roman soldiers in particular, 4) the Jewish leadership in particular, and 5) God, for the benefit of the Elect in particular. The Jews in generalThe Jews, as a people, have been alleged by Christians to have had a special responsibility for this crime and to have been cursed by God for it. (See Supersessionism) Until the middle of the 20th century most Christian churches included references to deicide in their hymns and liturgy. Many still do. The following, for example, is a verse from a hymn used in Protestant churches to call upon God to convert the Jews to Christianity:
Though the Blood betrayed and spilt,
On the race entailed a doom,
Let its virtue cleanse the guilt,
Melt the hardness, chase the gloom;
Lift the veil from off their heart,
Make them Israelites indeed,
Meet once more for lot and part
With Thy household's genuine seed.[1] (http://www.cyberhymnal.org/htm/t/t/ttcforon.htm)
("Thou, the Christ Forever One", words by William Bright, from Supplemental Hymns to Hymns Ancient and Modern, 1889) God, for the benefit of people in generalOther Christian theologians (among others) argue that God cannot be killed. Thus it would be inappropriate to apply charges of deicide to anyone. The following is a verse from the New Testament used in some Protestant churches to rebuke those in error:
"No man taketh it [my life] from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down,
and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father" (John 10:18 (http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?passage=John+10:18))
It should be noted that Luke 23:34 states, "Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots." This passage would seem to absolve whomever is blamed for the death of Christ. This page about Deicide includes information from a Wikipedia article.

("Thou, the Christ Forever One", words by William Bright, from Supplemental Hymns to Hymns Ancient and Modern, 1889). She lives there with her two adopted children. The following, for example, is a verse from a hymn used in Protestant churches to call upon God to convert the Jews to Christianity:. Since 2000 Sheena has appeared in a Broadway-style show in Las Vegas. Many still do. Sheena continued acting in America, starring in Broadway revivals of Man Of La Mancha (1992) and Grease (1996). Until the middle of the 20th century most Christian churches included references to deicide in their hymns and liturgy.

The song also appeared on her next album The Lover In Me, a moderate success which was released the following autumn. Deicide literally means "God-killing" (Latin Deus, "God" + -cida, "killing") and usually refers to the execution of Jesus by crucifixion. By the spring of 1988 the latest installment of the Miami Vice Soundtrack was released, and featured the song “Follow My Rainbow”, which Sheena sang on her tragic last appearance, just moments before her character was fatally shot. Sonny and Caitlin were married by the episode’s end, and the fourth-season’s sagging ratings were boosted so much that the producers signed Sheena to five more episodes. In November of 1987 Sheena made her first dramatic acting appearance on the television programme Miami Vice playing a singer named Caitlin Davies, whom Sonny Crockett was assigned to protect until she made a court appearance. Around this same time she also recorded a Grammy-winning Spanish-language album, Todo me recuerda a ti and scored a country music hit with "We've Got Tonight", a duet with Kenny Rogers. Her move towards a more sexy image with "Strut" was met with mixed reactions from diehard fans, and she was also one of the first artists to have a music video banned based upon lyrics rather than imagery when some broadcasters refused to play her Prince-penned, sexually risque "Sugar Walls." Despite of (or perhaps because of) the controversy, the album A Private Heaven which featured "Strut" and "Sugar Walls" became her biggest seller. Later, she also found success with the songs “Strut” (1984) and her 1987 duet with Prince “U Got The Look”. Her best known early musical work is probably the James Bond movie theme “For Your Eyes Only”, and “Morning Train” (which was originally titled "9 to 5" in its British release but was renamed for American issue to avoid confusion with the Dolly Parton song "Nine to Five"). This culminated in a deal with EMI Records. Sheena first shot to fame on the United Kingdom television programme The Big Time which followed her attempts to gain a record contract.
