Of course they do. The Pharisees knew Christ was the Messiah. They couldn't have that because it would have
meant the end of their jobs and all the money they withheld from the widows and orphans. It would have meant
no more long flowing expensive purple robes, status and their coveted front row seats in the synagogue.
They couldn't handle God showing mercy, grace and forgiveness to poor lowly Gentiles. They wanted to keep
their privileged class with all the trimmings.
So, they pushed the responsibility of killing Jesus off to Rome and put the blood on THEIR hands.
Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
pain in abortion.
Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
which has begun. To abort life is to end it.

Christ was God in the flesh. It was God's plan that he would come in the flesh in order to be the
final blood sacrifice for sin to all who believed. When He left the earth, He sent His Spirit to comfort,
teach and empower us to love Him with all our heart, mind and soul.
With the natural mind, you're right that this doesn't seem simple but, "with God all things are possible."
God even said that he would use the simple things to confound the wise.
Faith and a renewed mind makes understanding it easier.

Have you ever heard of compassion? Compassion & mercy, not just the law..
There is nothing in the law, biblical or American jurisprudence that denies or forbids it..
Matt 18:21-35
18:21 Then Peter came to him and said, “Lord, how many times must I forgive my brother who sins against me? As many as seven times?” 22 Jesus said to him, “Not seven times, I tell you, but seventy-seven times! 23 “For this reason, the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to settle accounts with his slaves. 24 As he began settling his accounts, a man who owed ten thousand talents was brought to him. 25 Because he was not able to repay it, the lord ordered him to be sold, along with his wife, children, and whatever he possessed, and repayment to be made. 26 Then the slave threw himself to the ground before him, saying, ‘Be patient with me, and I will repay you everything.’ 27 The lord had compassion on that slave and released him, and forgave him the debt. 28 After he went out, that same slave found one of his fellow slaves who owed him one hundred silver coins. So he grabbed him by the throat and started to choke him, saying, ‘Pay back what you owe me!’ 29 Then his fellow slave threw himself down and begged him, ‘Be patient with me, and I will repay you.’ 30 But he refused. Instead, he went out and threw him in prison until he repaid the debt. 31 When his fellow slaves saw what had happened, they were very upset and went and told their lord everything that had taken place. 32 Then his lord called the first slave and said to him, ‘Evil slave! I forgave you all that debt because you begged me! 33 Should you not have shown mercy to your fellow slave, just as I showed it to you?’ 34 And in anger his lord turned him over to the prison guards to torture him until he repaid all he owed. 35 So also my heavenly Father will do to you, if each of you does not forgive your brother from your heart.”
"There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."
I've already stated in here in an earlier thread of my experience with a Mega church. I won't go over it again.
The problem is that you think every single Christian church behaves the exact same way. They don't.
If you eat at a diner and get lousy food & service, do you never ever eat at any diner again in your life? Of course not.
You just try a few others till you find a good one.
