Don't feel bad. It's an impossible task.
I'll inform Jesus.
It is an impossible task that is why you need jesus. It says that the law was given to show us that we are sinners and in need of salvation. No one had ever done all of the law except Jesus. Here Romans 8 explains this
8 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, 2 because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you[a] free from the law of sin and death. 3 For what the law was powerless to do because it was weakened by the flesh,[b] God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sin offering.[c] And so he condemned sin in the flesh, 4 in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit
Since I am in christ, by reckoning His death and ressurection as mine, there is no one able to condem me.
Also the bible has many different types of writting like history, law, poetry, prophecy, and letters so you would read those books with that kind of knowledge in mind. They bible has a great deal of symbolism and it is all true but I don't think that I will ever see a 10 headed beast coming put of the sea with a harlot riding on it's back
