Why was Jesus Christ crucified?
What do you think?
Remember even Himself asked "Why are you trying to kill me?"
I feel this answer can help the world if they admit the reason He was killed.

Yeah, he is actually an unsung hero. If most guys heard their wife say "oh I'm pregnant and not by you but also totally not by some other dude! By an invisible deity!" she'd be booted to the curb before you could even say "three wise men". Hell back then she'd of probably been stoned to death for adultery.

common mistake of all... God the Father NEVER mated with Mary... He is not Zeus from the Greek mythology... in the Bible, God was a spirit, is a spirit and will always will be a spirit... He never changes...
"God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship in spirit and truth."
John 4:24
"Every good endowment and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change."
James 1:17
Jesus was crucified because that was the means of execution of that day.
Why was he killed? He sacrificed himself. He knew he would be betrayed, he knew he would be crucified. Yet he chose to stay; he chose to allow himself to be caught and taken away. This is what "self-sacrifice" means: you are ultimately responsible for your death.
If Jesus had been taken against his will, that would not have been a self-sacrifice. He simply would've been killed like any common criminal. Period.
So, what do I think? Metaphorically, I think Jesus stressed the importance of putting others before yourself: the external path to enlightenment.

No rape occurred at any time. Mary consented. Read this.
26In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth,27to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin's name was Mary.28And he came to her and said, “Greetings, O favored one, the Lord is with you!”
29But she was greatly troubled at the saying, and tried to discern what sort of greeting this might be.30And the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God 31And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus.32He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. And the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David,33and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.
”34And Mary said to the angel, “How will this be, since I am a virgin?” 35And the angel answered her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be called holy—the Son of God.36And behold, your relative Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son, and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren.37For nothing will be impossible with God.” 38And Mary said, “Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her.
