2 Samuel 1:16 - For David had said to him, "Your blood be on your own head. Your own mouth testified against you when you said, 'I killed the LORD's anointed.' "
Matthew 27:24-25 - When Pilate saw that he was getting nowhere, but that instead an uproar was starting, he took water and washed his hands in front of the crowd. "I am innocent of this man's blood," he said. "It is your responsibility!" All the people answered, "Let his blood be on us and on our children!"
Acts 18:6 - But when the Jews opposed Paul and became abusive, he shook out his clothes in protest and said to them, "Your blood be on your own heads! I am clear of my responsibility. From now on I will go to the Gentiles."
Leviticus 20:9 - " 'If anyone curses his father or mother, he must be put to death. He has cursed his father or his mother, and his blood will be on his own head.
There are many examples in the Bible for "Your blood be on your own head".
- David killing the Amalekite for claiming (lying) about killing Saul
- The Jews crying out to be responsible for the death of Jesus
- Paul moving on to the Gentiles because the Jews would not listen
- Anyone cursing their father or mother
Does this mean that lying, ignoring God, crucifying God, and cursing your father or mother lead us to the same result in the end?

Perry, you raise a good point. We tend to assign higher values to the 'grosser' sins and minimize the fact that lying, cursing those who brought us into existence, and delegation of duty are all symptomatic of a heart that refuses to accept the Lordship of Christ. In the broadest sense, those types of sins ARE essentially 'crucifying the Lord'...making him dead to us. Thanks to God that Jesus' blood covers all of the above and more!
