I’m a formerly of the faith. I’ve read it all an uncountable amount of times.
The New Testament is kinda of a “new era” for the tone of Christianity. The sacrifice of Jesus was the old ways being re-written and ushering in the new way. His death made it so people no longer had to make blood sacrifices and offerings in order to be forgiven. It really is a beautiful story.
The absolute selfishness and barbarism endorsed by many modern-day “Christians” would make Jesus weep.
How did I know this was going to be the reply… You’re not even Christian anymore, and you’re still doing apologetics.
17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18 For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.
Matthew 5:17-18
The whole “new covenant” thing is just a convenient way for Christians to convince others (and often themselves) that their religion isn’t complete hateful trash.

Luckily, Jesus also promises that they will get what they are owed in the end.
