Wow now that needs to be made a testimony 
And yes I also was like that to soft and easily bruised so much so I began to not say what I really believe or think just to not be attacked but you will find that after being in heated debates for a time you begin to thicken your skin.

in defense of my self as I look through all of my posts and other people's post...
what I started the Op with and what the recent is totally different. it ended up
with a tangled web of people talking about other people's posts and far from
the Op but I guess that is how it is.
Well I sure don't see it myself but then again Moses didn't either at the burning bush I will try to link it but I am not great at using technology I still can't figure out how to multiquote https://www.beliefnet.com/faiths/christianity/quiz/which-bible-character-are-you.aspx
Hello again brother, thank you for getting back to me so quickly
As far as Jesus preaching law and Paul preaching grace, there is no contradiction there that I can see (they are apples and oranges), well, unless you believe that being obedient to the law could actually result in someone being saved, that is
Take the passage you posited for us from Luke 10, where the lawyer asks the Lord, "Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?" The Lord Jesus replied (in essence), 'keep the commandments'. The lawyer's response to Jesus' teaching is found in the verse from that passage that you did not include, so lets go there.
Thanks!

Luke 10
29 Wishing to justify himself, he said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”
That's very interesting, yes? Why did the lawyer attempt to "justify himself" after he heard the Lord Jesus' answer to his opening question, "Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life" Thanks!

That is why what Jesus told the lawyer made sense. Even when Jesus expanded the concept of neighbor to be more than just fellow Jews, the principle is still the same, obey the 2 greatest commandments, and he shall have eternal life.
For us, our righteousness is now by faith, without the Law, as Paul explained clearly in Romans 3:21
But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
We are righteous in the "but now" time period, without the law.
That option was not avaliable in time past, during the 4 gospels.

Great observation, thank you for sharing that. Bible should be read word by word and slowly exactly like you did there, pausing and really taking the Word in. Different parts of a sentence each carry a ton of info.

i've already showed you...
hoping that's clear enough without need for further explanation.
Whoever loves instruction loves knowledge,
but he who hates correction is stupid.
(Proverbs 12:1)
but he who hates correction is stupid.
(Proverbs 12:1)
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge,
but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
(Proverbs 1:7)
do you need me to cite some verses to show that being stupid & foolish consequently carries penalties? but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
(Proverbs 1:7)
hoping that's clear enough without need for further explanation.
it is unclear how you get this opinion of me based on my quoting Christ to another person, arguing that yes we do need to listen to "the ministers of the new & better covenant" -- this very role being by the appointment of the Holy Spirit and their very written words being breathed by the Holy Spirit?
