Complex theological question.If you believe that Jesus is God Incarnate, then that's who is "completing" the law with the teaching of agape so it's not an issue.

There is a vibrant letter cutting tradition in Armenia. Visiting Yerevan a few years ago I was struck by the fabulous memorial plaques on houses...
