The Jews who wrote the 8th century Maeorhetic text were HARDLY 'Christian Forefathers' they denied that Christ was the Messiah and they added vowels to the Hebrew Scriptures.

This was already AFTER the NEW COVENANT.

I don't look at the Jews after Christ as believers. That doesn't negate the fact that the Old Testament, was handed down to the Apostles by our Jewish forefathers who looked forward to the day of redemption (Heb 11). The Church (including the Orthodox) has always accepted these as inspired.

Gentiles were grafted into the tree of Jewish believers; not the other way around. As far as I know, Christ is still a Jew.
