No-one is in debt to anyone. No-one can be indebted to anyone, not even God.
The game of life is not one of debt, repayment, and forgiveness, but a game of sharing, collaboration, and transformation. Everything feeds everything else, in unique and special ways, to grow into everything that will become.
All is necessary in the continual process of being.
