and if so what do you think about it?

Yes, I have. I think it's completely wrong to think that the Jews have to keep the law while we have to believe in Jesus. Jeremiah 31 says that God would make a completely new covenant with the Jews that would be different than the one he made when he brought them out of Egypt. Therefore, there is only one true covenant, and that's the New one --- Christianity.

This post caught my eye because I'd never heard of it before. Baha'is (that's my religion; I'm a Baha'i) have two covenants too, a Greater and a Lesser Covenant:
Greater Covenant: God's agreement with each Manifestation of God that in exchange for the obedience of His followers another Manifestation of God will appear in the future.
Lesser Covenant: Bahá'u'lláh's agreement with His followers that in exchange for their obedience to His laws and institutions, He will protect the unity of the religion.
Note: a "Manifestation of God" is what Baha'is call the Founders of the world's great religions: Moses, Jesus Christ, Muhammad, the Buddha, Bahá'u'lláh, etc.

Yes, it means you must labor under two covenants. It's nothing to be taken lightly. First, either you go to heaven or hell. If you go to the altar of a Baptist priest and get saved you will go to heaven no questions asked, that's the first covenant. The second covenent I forgot that one. Hold on, let me check, I'll get back on this
