>>Such a position would call into question what exactly Christ meant when he said “it is finished.”<<

Not really. When He said "it is finished" He was saying the payment for all sin was forever paid and the Old Testament laws made null. That part was finished. When arose from the dead He overcame death.

That is the opinion of a person with near zero understanding of God’s word!

In Matthew 5, Yeshua declared that Torah (old testament laws to the ignorant) was to remain until the Earth and the heavens no longer exist.

He said “it is finished” because that is what the High Priest is required to say when the Passover lambs have all been slaughtered.(He was both High Priest, and Passover Lamb)

Those that do not know Yeshua are always anxious for his Torah, the “instructions in righteousness,” to be out of their hopeless path, but that is not to be.

Those that love him keep his commandments; he said so.

If Christ’s redemptive work was finished, ie payment for the sins of his elect, why would he descend into Hell literally? Incidentally, Christ did not abolish all old testament laws. In Christ all laws relating to sacrifice and purity are done away with. The civil law remains.
