Foolish Nonsense

"In order to draw attention to world peace, in 1973 Patrice Tamao of the Dominican Republic allowed himself to be crucified as thousands watched on TV. Tamao had three six-inch stainless steel nails driven through his hands and feet and intended to stay on the cross for 48 hours. However, after 20 hours he requested to be taken down because he had developed an infection.

From the time of Christ’s sacrifice to the present, many have sought to show their devotion to Jesus, secure their own forgiveness, or make some public statement by actually having themselves crucified. In 1965, Daniel Waswa in Kenya compelled his wife to crucify him "for the sins of all Kenyans."
After reluctantly obeying, his wife collapsed and died-apparently from shock. Daniel was rescued by neighbours, but he later died from an infection."

You don't need any of this SELF-CRUCIFIXION foolish nonsense....

But he was wounded for our transgressions,
he was bruised for our iniquities:
the chastisement of our peace was upon and with his stripes we are healed.
All we like sheep have gone astray;
we have turned every one to his own way;
and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.Isaiah 53:5,6
