So Jesus' destiny was the cross...yes? What would have happened if before he died Jesus decided to come down off the cross and tell the Father he could not go through with it?
Taking up your cross up daily is not about daily crucifying your flesh...it is about fulfilling your divine destiny.....
A pastor's cross is his pulpit and church and if he comes down off that cross many people will suffer...so I will ask again: If Jesus did not come down off the cross, then why do sons and daughters of God always come down off theirs!?!?

Rom 6:3-10
Or do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus have been baptized into His death?
Therefore we have been buried with Him through baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life.
For if we have become united with Him in the likeness of His death, certainly we shall also be in the likeness of His resurrection,
knowing this, that our old self was crucified with Him, in order that our body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be slaves to sin;
for he who has died is freed from sin.
Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him,
knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, is never to die again; death no longer is master over Him.
For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God.
Gal 2:20
I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.

Simply put, Christianity as we know it probably would not exist, if at all. Which means Judaism would have a greater reach in the world, potentially Islam as well. But in reality, atheism would probably be much more widespread. The Roman Empire would have not adopted Christianity obviously, and would have most likely kept its polytheistic religion. This kind of belief system, like Greek, Egyptian, and Norse mythology has long since been acknowledged as false by the global community. Christianity spread through the Roman empire across Europe to the New World, So I would honestly think that if Christianity never was, then atheism would have gained the most.
