To Christians, does Jesus's Death on the Cross Save the Sins youve Committed Against other Creatures?

Question

Lets say youve hurt another being. How can God forgive you unless you make up for what youve done.

If you look around you, the most common sin on the planet is what man does to other men.

How can Jesus's death on the cross clear the hurt youve done for someone else?

I dont think it can. I dont think anything can save you, if the other person does not forgive you first.

This goes double for animals, they cant talk! You hurt them, youve pretty much eaten their rights as living beings and you die with those rights on your shoulders.

Answer 1

we cannot 'make up' for what we have done, we can only ask forgiveness from the person we have hurt. it isnt in 'being forgiven by man' that saves us, it is in forgiving others... for we must forgive others in order to be forgiven by God. Jesus death wipes our sins away, which in a lot of cases, are things done against God, not other people.

it is important to ask forgiveness from people when we hurt them, whether intentional or unintentional.... as for animals, I will leave that for someone else to answer... that is a whole nother issue...

I am forgiven by Jesus sacrifice, for I have accepted it as the gift He intended, and I have repented of my sins and do my best each day to follow Him... I forgive others as Christ forgives me.. which isnt always easy.... each day is a new day of making the right decisions

1) All sins a person has committed are forgiven on the basis of Jesus' death on the cross in exchange for our death penalty. You can never make up for a sin. When we are forgiven, we are washed clean and made whole. This is done by the Holy Spirit. We can't say how He does this, but it is due to His power as God.
2) It doesn't matter what we think. What is true is what God says. His Word says that we are forgiven.
3) It doesn't go double for animals. This is foolishness.

Answer 3

Every sin is ultimately a sin against the creator, God. It is an offense to His holy nature. Christ's sacrifice forgave the sins of His people, past, present and future. If God, who is the most perfectly holy, righteous and just being in the universe says our sins are forgiven, who are you or any other finite, imperfect being to say they are not? Are you more righteous and holy than God?

Col 2:13 And you, being dead in the deviations and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all the deviations,
Col 2:14 blotting out the handwriting in the ordinances against us, which was contrary to us, even He has taken it out of the midst, nailing it to the cross;

The book The Non-Christian Cross, by John Denham Parsons, states: “There is not a single sentence in any of the numerous writings forming the New Testament, which, in the original Greek, bears even indirect evidence to the effect that the stauros used in the case of Jesus was other than an ordinary stauros; much less to the effect that it consisted, not of one piece of timber, but of two pieces nailed together in the form of a cross. . . . it is not a little misleading upon the part of our teachers to translate the word stauros as ‘cross’ when rendering the Greek documents of the Church into our native tongue, and to support that action by putting ‘cross’ in our lexicons as the meaning of stauros without carefully explaining that that was at any rate not the primary meaning of the word in the days of the Apostles, did not become its primary signification till long afterwards, and became so then, if at all, only because, despite the absence of corroborative evidence, it was for some reason or other assumed that the particular stauros upon which Jesus was executed had that particular shape.”—London, 1896, pp. 23, 24.
Why Jesus Had to Die on a Stake. At the time Jehovah God gave his law to the Israelites, they obligated themselves to abide by its terms. (Ex 24:3) However, as descendants of sinner Adam, they were unable to do so perfectly. For this reason they came under the curse of the Law. To remove this special curse from them, Jesus had to be hanged on a stake like an accursed criminal. Concerning this the apostle Paul wrote: “All those who depend upon works of law are under a curse; for it is written: ‘Cursed is every one that does not continue in all the things written in the scroll of the Law in order to do them.’ . . . Christ by purchase released us from the curse of the Law by becoming a curse instead of us, because it is written: ‘Accursed is every man hanged upon a stake.’”—Ga 3:10-13.

Answer 5

God is Holy and could desire to punish sin. yet God will settle for a sinless human replace. yet all of us has sinned. basically God is sinless, so God took on human form and became the suited replace for people who might repent and have faith the gospel. The previous testomony has prophesies relating to the Messiah being born as a newborn and being God. additionally whilst the Messiah might arrive and how and whilst the Messiah might die. Jesus fulfilled those prophecies on the impressive evaluate historic past.

Answer 6

If you don't think you can be forgiven then what's the use of living on? God has a will for us. He knows that we are prone to sin, because we are living in the flesh - meaning we can be easily swayed by things that satifies us (selfishly) like sex (to the immoral extreme), getting a lot of things only for ourselves (greed), and exacting our uncontrolled emotions on others (revenge or murder). Jesus allowed himself to take on 100% of the punishment that we were deservent of. Believe me when I tell you that he got it to, but he still prayed that God forgives us because we were unaware of our actions.
Now, when we turn to God, we are still sinners, but we are sinners saved by grace. We will still falter, but we have to work on avoiding those temptations and hazards before we trip up again. God is the epitamy of LOVE and if we want to be forgiven of our sins, we must go to him. But, before you do, you must recognize that Jesus died for you to have life.

Answer 7

It is more of a "cosmic" fogiveness in that He forgives you for your sins against Him by breaking His laws when you apologize. Just like if I hurt two people -- apologizing to one doesn't do anything about getting me square with the other. As for animals, how do you ask for forgiveness? Maybe just don't kick the dog again?

Answer 8

do you recall a passage from the lords prayer that goes; forgive our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass. yes, when you ask to be forgiven, and its from the heart, you will be........and child the lord said he had given you the beast of the field; birds of the sky ;and fish of the sea to sustain you.. that's means to eat..just like you prefer to be a vegetarian some folks like meat! something else were you awake in history class from the beginning of recorded man they hunted and used every part for something. nothing was wasted. not like today....

Answer 9

You're almost-almost-right. When you hurt someone, that is B-A-D, especially animals. But Jesus died for YOU! So you need to repent your sins, and He will forgive you.
But you need to apologize to the person you've hurt, and you might still have the guilt.

Answer 10

You are right, in that Christians cannot treat others poorly and expect God to forgive them without trying to make things right first.
