because Christ is Christ. Other people are NOT Jesus Christ.

By "Christ's murder" do you mean his alleged crucifixion. If so then where does it say that it "is thought of as a sin of the entire human race"? I thought it was supposed to release the entire human race from a sin - the so called 'original sin' which the entire human race never committed in the first place, only one man did Adam. If your question were rephrased as follows it would be interesting to read the answers: Why is it that Adam's error is thought of as a sin of the entire human race, whereas other errors and atrocities are only considered sins on the part of the individuals who actually commit them?

Christ was put to death by the Jews. They were God's chosen people, but because of their actions with regard to Jesus Christ, they were cast off by God. The physical Jews are no longer the chosen people. But in Acts 15 v 14 we read "Symeon has related thoroughly how God for the first time turned his attention to the nations to take out of them a people fir his name" So the entire human race is not accountable for Christ's death. On the contrary, through his death, all mankind has the hope of salvation.

Your facts are incorrect

if you assume that Jesus died for sinners, and that everyone who ever lived has sinned (excluding him of course), then the next conclusion is that everyone who has ever lived is connected to His death because of the wrong things they have done, said, & thought but it is VERY important to note that Jesus was willing to die for the world. if he were "forced" there wouldn't be much point to faith, would there?
