Do not worry friend. It is about over. Jesus is just waiting till us Christians have found all the people that have not heard his word and give them the chance to decide for themselves whether or not except his forgiveness.

I agree with my dad
Your mistaken Barehugs, if you think Jesus has not made a difference... Do you know his story? Do you know there is a bible. Do you know about the cross???????? Do you know who christians are?
If you can say you do, then Jesus has succeeded. Now, who do you think chose those wars???? The Church? NO! We as people did, all christianity set aside. Hitler was no christian my dear, and he probably is still the one who trumps any war of how many people he killed WITH NO REASON! Now, tell me who murdered millions?
We need as much time as it takes to make sure you understand :)

@Karanda YES the church did those things! Which is why Jesus never started a church.
And Hitler (just like the church in the Spanish Inquisition) felt he was doing "The work of the Lord"---he wrote in /Mein Kampf/ en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Religious_views_of_Adolf_Hitler
And the fact remains that Jesus had no measurable effect on ... anything. His friends constructed a good, uplifting story about him. Did any of us ever worship Joseph (son of Israel/Jacob, governor of Egypt)?
& @christiancowboyholm ... no. That 'Jesus is coming soon'-fairy tale is just something you need to believe to find peace with yourself if you feel like you need to understand your life as "worth something." I'm not saying your life is worthless ... it's not worthless while we're living it, but "all is vanity."
& I (obviously) agree with barehugs. Jesus wanted us all to hope for "Our Father's kingdom to come and be on Earth as it is in Heaven." And yet CHRISTIANS say life-on-Earth has gotten worse-&-worse rather than more-Heavenly! If you loved Jesus, you would follow His teachings to make His kingdom come on Earth as it is in Heaven.
Christians HATE Jesus!

Both if that is what is called, but for me there is no such old law (found in the old testament) or new covenant (in the new Testament). they are the same thing. The one that we are calling new covenant is just the summary of the old law, so it all the same. Jesus came to fulfill the law so we need to follow everything in the HOLY Bible.

That 'falls short' (literal meaning of the word 'sin'). The Holy Bible is a pattern-book; you make 'the afghan (crocheted (kro-SHAYED) blanket) of God's Word' out of material found in the world.

What do you think these are?
The old law included a lot of stuff which doesn't apply now: coveting is ENCOURAGED, and your neighbors wife is no longer "a thing that is thy neighbor's." And 'sacrifices' ... I don't even think JEWS do those anymore! (or if they do, they're keeping the sacrifices 'between them and God' WHERE THEY BELONG!)
The New Covenant is 'if you love Jesus, you will follow JESUS' TEACHINGS.' Jesus taught that ALL LAWS & PROPHETS are fulfilled by following two rules: be devoted to God, and love your neighbor as yourself.
You can throw the rest of the Bible away, if following any of ITS teachings goes against JESUS' teachings.
