for me the cross pointless, God became flesh to take our sins and forgive us. but there's a catch but not a lot of churches preach. it says in the Bible if you do not forgive men their trespasses against you neither shall the Father forgive you your trespasses. I don't get it. God took on all the horrible things in the world, supposedly for my salvation, however if this is true that my salvation is in my ability to forgive my dad sexually abusing me and my family members, then I will go to hell. I am NOT Christ, I can not give such perfect forgiveness. and his sacrifice was a waste on me and so many others that do not know how to forgive people hurt me so deeply. don't get me wrong, I would love to obey the Word of God by forgiving my father, but I can't. I cannot physically or mentally do it. I don't know how to do it, I do not know how did you can begin the steps to forgiving him. why did Christ die for our sins and then require us to forgive everybody else too in order to be saved? I thought I would to go to heaven, I thought I would be saved when I called on then name of Jesus, I have seen the Holy Spirit move in my life, after I became a Christian, God literally gave me new family of Christians I can rely on... he showed me that he was real. all for nothing? my dad has not even asked fot forgiveness he hasn't even admitted that he was a child molester... and I'm supposed to forgive him? then what was the point of Calvary if my salvatiom is up to my own power to forgive?
