Jesus didn't tell us to be crucified; he did it so we would have an opportunity to receive salvation. He paid the price and that was the only price needed to be paid. Besides, if certain people were to have themselves crucified, then people would start worshiping them...They worship Mohamed, Buddha, etc. When none of these gods resurrected. Only Christ did.

First of all God does not exist. Secondly, if there's Jesus, he was one unlucky dude to be at the wrong place and time. The Romans as you know were Nazis they would crucify anything just to put it on the cross. Thirdly, Christinity, Islam, Buddism, Hindu etc.. are all organized religions. Anything organized you might as well join the Labor Union as least they look after you.
So, who ever crucified themselve for Jesus....duh!

Galatians 2:20,"i have been crucified with Christ: and it is no longer i that lives, but Christ lives in me; and the life which i now live in the flesh i live by faith [the receptivity of God's activity] in the Son of God, who loved me, and delivered Himself up for me". NASB

We don't claim to be anything - we are Christians - and we don't have to be crucified because Jesus died on the CROSS to save us!@

Jesus didn't crucify himself, whereas the argument you put forth requires someone to crucify themselves.

The cross we are to carry is our burdens in this life and we are crucified by nonbelievers, by the world. Ours is not a physical crucifixion.

Have you not seen the cost of 4 by 4 and the price of good nails and a hammer!

Is this one of Jesus' commands, that we should crucify ourselves?
I would be very interested in a verse where Jesus tells us to do so.
Cordially,
John
