Do not misunderstand my abhorrence to mincing words as impatience.

Yes, of course in your head you see it that way.
But then, I see it this way.
Deuteronomy 21:10-17
Marrying a Captive Woman
10 When you go to war against your enemies and the Lord your God delivers them into your hands and you take captives, 11 if you notice among the captives a beautiful woman and are attracted to her, you may take her as your wife. 12 Bring her into your home and have her shave her head, trim her nails 13 and put aside the clothes she was wearing when captured. After she has lived in your house and mourned her father and mother for a full month, then you may go to her and be her husband and she shall be your wife.14 If you are not pleased with her, let her go wherever she wishes. You must not sell her or treat her as a slave, since you have dishonored her.
The Right of the Firstborn
15 If a man has two wives, and he loves one but not the other, and both bear him sons but the firstborn is the son of the wife he does not love, 16 when he wills his property to his sons, he must not give the rights of the firstborn to the son of the wife he loves in preference to his actual firstborn, the son of the wife he does not love. 17 He must acknowledge the son of his unloved wife as the firstborn by giving him a double share of all he has. That son is the first sign of his father’s strength. The right of the firstborn belongs to him.

Matthew 5:22 22But I tell you that anyone who is angry with a brother or sister will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to a brother or sister, 'Raca,' is answerable to the court. And anyone who says, 'You fool!' will be in danger of the fire of hell.
Well the thing you don't understand is the "torture" you are speaking of is not what paid for your sin. What paid for your sin was the price you couldn't ever pay with your (our to be clear, not "you") wicked dead spirit, disconnected from God self. The wrath that abides over all men's head, the price the flesh can NEVER pay for, it was on the cross when God crushed Him for our iniquity, the spiritual price that only He could pay, so that our just penalty can be justly covered by a God that loved us enough to pay that price, praise Jesus Amen!!! The way you are thinking of it it 100% in the flesh, the price that was paid was a spiritual price, one that is still foolishness to those perishing. I know man, I went to church a long time and didn't know Him, was just like you. But through a motorcycle wreak that took all function from my right arm, He brought me to truth. Keep seeking man, keep asking question just like you did here, just keep seeking truth.

Confusing description with prescription, is common.
Perhaps you should know also, that putting yourself under the law means you must be perfect in following all points of the law, or you are condemned under the law. I would not recommend it
