Are you Jewish? ... Jesus paid ‘restitution’ in Christian calculus.

Are you Jewish?

Probably by birth, but not by upbringing. I have made a multi-year study of Judaism and recommend it highly to Christians who want to understand what our Jewish Messiah was saying in proper context.

... Jesus paid ‘restitution’ in Christian calculus.

Oh really? Mr. 'not a jot or tittle' Himself "changed" ALL of his teachings when he atoned for sin? So that frees you to do whatever you wish as long as you're sorry??? I suggest you go read Matthew 16:27 again before trying to sell me that kind of 'we are saved by grace alone' garbage. I suggest you find the origins of the Hebrew term for grace (found first in Genesis 6) to understand that it is based upon t'shuvah, turning to G_d in penitence. ALL of Christ's teachings were founded there. Yet once one makes repentance, then what does a G_dly person do? Why, wouldn't you think such a penitent fellow would consult the Word Christ lived by all His sinless life?

The arguments re "the Law has been fulfilled" as therefore inapplicable is a replacement theology that was a post-reformation invention.
