Sorry friend but I read the transcript and it espoused synergy with God, denying His promise of Salvation in the sole work of Christ on the Cross (Solus Christus), substituting some action/support/help from mankind to accomplish what he promised in Genesis 3.

What other meaning do you assign to Christ’s proclamation from the Cross of “It is finished.”?

It’s called a covenant for a reason.

Heb_5:9 And having been perfected, He became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him,

Rev_14:12 Here is the patience of the saints; here are those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.

I'm not sure how obeying God is an invalid "work" especially when the bible is crystal clear about it.

I would say that it was his death on the cross that made salvation possible. And when he died this act was finished. Are you making the case that this act automatically granted salvation to everyone regardless of belief, faith or works? Or was it potential salvation?

.
It was the traditional pronouncement of the Cohen Gadol, as the passover sacrifice was completed. Yeshua, as Cohen Ha Gadol, was required to follow Passover as described in Torah in the minutest detail.

It meant that the sacrifice was complete. It didn’t mean anything else that you may have imagined.
