So, the question remains, why not simply forgive the sin and the debt, what could be owed to a god that has everything ?
No, you are not understanding. Holiness and Justice are part of the nature of God and cannot be set aside--even by him. Sin has consequences affecting these attributes. The consequences must be dealt with--satisfying a requirement, which is not the same as an act of God's will (as forgiveness is).
This sounds like as much a reason to not believe the abrahamic god is the one true god as anything. If these things are inherent to a god, and the abrahamic deity acts as bad as the bible portrays him, then he isn't God. He can be thrown in the trash with all the other ones we don't worship, because he doesn't make the cut.
