Well, I was pointing out the supposed violation of the law that Jesus committed. No one can escape the choices this puts forth -- either:
1. He was crazy and thought He was God.
2. He was a liar and said He was God.
OR
3. He is God and was wrongly crucified.
There are no other choices.
As for the salvation reasons, I can't think of another form of punishment that would have been more demeaning, torturous, or that would be, at an instant, seen as true suffering than crucifixion
He did go voluntarily, but the excuse they used was blasphemy.

Oh, I agree with you. I'm just saying that this was God's divine plan for man, and regardless what laws Jesus broke, He made the choice to go to the cross for the redemption of our sins. From the perspective of those who charged Him with breaking the law, and carrying out the punishment, you are right, that's their view of it. But Jesus' decision to go to the cross to give His live for you and me, was His decision, regardless what laws he may or may not have violated. That's all I'm saying.
