I don’t mean that you should question so you can say to yourself, “I posed my hypothesis, and they failed to convince me I was wrong.” I mean that if you come to a spiritual realization that is so contrary to 1900 years of predominant Christian thought, it is better to seek deeper understanding than to presume you are the correct one.

There are thousands of contradictory doctrines, almost all of them initially espoused by people believing they were uniquely spiritually insightful and more faithful to the bible than all the others whose doctrines they contradict. I believe you are correct in identifying where some difficult passages of scripture are ignored or explained away with undue ease by certain sects. But there are other resolutions than the ones you have reached which may also satisfy the shortcomings you have identified. If you are less certain yours is the perfect answer, you can benefit from others’ insight.

Or you can simply ignite many arguments.

Or you can do both :^D.

When the truth is told, the demons come out. It was evident here in the thread. :) Check everything with the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Which posts are opposite? :)
