Welcome to the forum!!! So glad you decided to jump in and get your feet wet.
Yes, welcome!

Like many things in scripture, there is dual meaning to the jubilee.

Enjoy...

What would you say to someone who would answer the question about Christ fulfilling the Jubilee by saying that God's law is for man and there to regulate man and is not a code by which God Himself is bound?

I'd probably point them to Hebrews, which indicates that the things of the OT were but a shadow, symbolic of spiritual/heavenly things.

God, who is love, holy, and just, is not hypocritical.

Good answers! God's law shows us His morality, His justice, His character...who He is! I think of how David rejoiced in God's law in Psalm 19.
A man named Stephen Jones has this to say:
54 And if he be not redeemed in these years [of servitude], then he shall go out in the year of Jubilee, both he and his children with him.

"This is grace at its highest level. No man can go so far into debt that he cannot be redeemed by grace in the end. The Jubilee not only allows it; it demands it."

What a Redeemer! What a Savior!
