Jesus did not pay any sacrifice for intentional sin. His sacrifice was for sins of ignorance. The Torah is clear that those who commit intentional sin are cut off from the covenant... no hope of repentance or forgiveness. The author of Hebrews reiterates this in the following passage concerning the Covenant in Messiah:
Hebrews 10:26-31
(26) For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
(27) But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
(28) He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:
(29) Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?
(30) For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.
(31) It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
Compare what is said here with your knowledge of Torah concerning intentional / presumptuous sin and you will find that this text simply carries over the teaching of Torah and continues it in the New Covenant.
Peace be with you. David Miller

Thank you David. You have given me something to ponder that I had not considered before.
