Paul explained this to the Hebrew Christians in Hebrews 9 & 10

And John the Baptist, at Jesus' baptism, announced him as the "Lamb of God that taketh away the sins of the world."

Before Jesus' advent, the shedding of the blood of bulls and goats endeavoured to take sins away; but this was not possible, (Hebrews 10.4); but now we are:

"sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once [for all]." (Hebrews 10.10)

Jesus mentioned tithes three time and in each case condemned the tithe payer. Also each case was actually under the Old Covenant sicne it was before Calvary.

What is the percentage of the Bible from the Old Testament and what percentage is from the New Testament?

First, the term 'testament' was only first coined in the 2nd Century AD. It is actually the Old Covenant and the New Covenant. The Old Covenant is commonly referred to as the Hebrew Bible/Scriptures. In the Old there are currently 39 books while in the New there are 27. So by books, the Old is greater with approximately 60% of the written word.One must realize that God did not give mankind 2 separate Bibles. Rather the Bible is one continuous inspired set of teachings and instructions.The Apostles quoted from the Old Covenant 695 times. Depending on which scholar you refer to, the Old Covenant is quoted/alluded to over 4,105 times ((Roger Nicole, The Expositor's Bible Commentary , Zondervan, Grand Rapids, 1979, Vol. I, p. 617). When one considers that the only written Covenant at the time of the Apostles was the Old, we see the importance the Apostle Paul of the Gentiles places on it here:2 Timothy 3:15New King James Version (NKJV)15 and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

Did Jesus convert?

No Jesus did not convert. The Old Testament tells us of a new covenant that God was giving to the Jewish people in "time to come".

It was the Jewish people who failed to recognize the Messiah and follow Him into the new covenant.


Was the second covenant the old testament or the New Testament?

God made many covenants in the Old Testament, but I assume you are speaking about the "New Covenant" vs the "Old Covenant" which God gave Israel through Moses at Mount Sinai. The "New Covenant" or second was mentioned in the Old Testament several times as a covenant which was yet future. The "New Covenant" started in the New Testament when Jesus Christ died on the cross of Calvary, was buried, and was resurrected the third day.

What role did Jesus and paul play in the early histroy of Christianity?

Christianity started with Jesus Christ. Jesus came down from heaven from God the Father to reconcile sinners back to God. Since the time of Adam mankind has been alienated from God by sin. Jesus died on the cross to be the ultimate sacrifice for sin. Only persons who believe in Jesus Christ by faith can be saved from eternal damnation and be given eternal life. While on earth Jesus chose 12 disciples/apostles. These men were believers that Jesus was the Son of God and were trained by Him to carry on the work of Jesus to reconcile others to God. In the Old Testament, Jeremiah 31:31 it says," Behold, the days are coming, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah......" The old covenant ended and the new covenant began when Jesus Christ died on the cross and was resurrected three days later. The old covenant was the Law of Moses and was for the Jewish nation. The new covenant was to be a transition for the Jews to follow the Messiah and be directed by Him in a new way. They rejected Jesus as being the Messiah and have continued in the old covenant which is no covenant at all since Jesus died and was resurrected. God included the Gentile nations into the new covenant, which brings us to the Apostle Paul. The apostle Paul was picked by God the father and Jesus Christ in eternity past to be the Apostle to the Gentiles. (If you are not Jewish you are a Gentile). Paul traveled over much of the Roman Empire (A very large area) and preached about Jesus Christ being the Son of God and that faith in Him is necessary to be saved and have eternal life. Since that time generation upon generation has been passing on the "Good News" (Gospel) that Jesus Christ is the Savior of any who will believe in Him.
