In a sense Jesus is still on the cross for our sins? When we sin, Jesus still feels or sees the pain?

Jesus' sacrafice was done once and done for all sins of all men.
With that said, you're right in that God is outside of time and not subject to it. He can see all of time from the very beginning until our end and do so all at the same time.
Imagine driving a car down a highway. How far can you see behind you and ahead? Now imagine looking down on that same highway from thousands of feet above in an airplane. You can look back farther into that driver's past than the driver of the car can or see farther into the driver's future than he can, during the same period of time as the driver.

What is so bad about Jesus' suffering? He existed forever in heaven, came down to Earth for a paltry 30-40 years, suffered a few hours of beatings and pain, then went back up to heaven for the rest of forever. What did he sacrifice? What did he give up? Sounds like a sweet deal, to me! There are cancer victims who suffer worse pain, and for a longer time, than he did. There are little children who are beaten every day of their miserable lives. There are 30,000 children dying of disease and starvation even as I type this. Come on, man, "still on the cross for our sins"? Gimme a break! Jesus has a lovely, pain-free, happy life in heaven while almost 11 million kids die slowly and painfully every year. If he doesn't care about them, he sure doesn't suffer if you think naughty thoughts or lust after your neighbor's Xbox.

Jesus is no longer on the cross, He died for you and me, He paid the price for all our sin..it is by His Grace that we are saved..Yes He does still see's and feel the pain of this sinful world, that is why God is giving us a change to repent of our sin right now so that all could be saved, but we must REPENT (change our sinful ways)...

Yes/No
Yes it is possible that the actual time of the cross is before the eyes of God.
No, The Son is not any longer on the cross. Since the soul or Holy Spirit of The Son left the shell or body of the Son, the issue of time becomes even more complicated.
God is outside of time and as such has not revealed the truth of that to us as of yet.

that's quite a thought. his physical pain ceased on the cross - but His Love for us became stronger as his bigger goal was spiritual - and He became Messiah by trial, just as we go through our trials, and do our best to be students and disciples.
Because He cares so much, i would bet He feels pain for us everyday -- but if anyone knows how things ultimately turn out, the Master does - and one day with God is 1000 years to man (Peter2) - so let's all hope and pray and do our best to not put the Master through that pain at such a high degree for too much longer.
But let's also remember the pure joy he feels through our sacrifices, trials, journeys - and resolutions that bring us to Higher levels. When we gain Wisdom and Understanding. He must celebrate as much as He weeps.
Yeshua Messiah believes in us. God Sees everything.

in a spiritual sense yes, he cries when he sees us sin just as a father would do just as he is. so yes. Just try really hard not to sin and you won't feel guilty but when you are just about to sin just think of your question and then see if you still want to do that sin.

Jesus is not on the cross anymore... he died to redeem us from sin. Even though, I think he not only sees our pain... as our Father he suffers because of that, but he also suffers even more when humanity takes for granted his forgiveness and generosity. We hurt Him with our actions instead of been grateful, faithful, and loyal to him and our faith.

Good question...
I would be inclined to say no. (based on the verses that say that Jesus died once and for all to pay for sin. His suffering on the cross is done. It is not currently continuing).
Cordially,
John

Yeah in the fairy tale that's true. In reality though, sin doesn't exist.
