Jesus was no “itinerant preacher.” That’s a pedantic phrase reserved for Al Sharptons, David Goreshs; and Jeremiah Wrights and the likes of Billy Graham, Rev. Schuller, Joel Osteens, TD Jakes.

Jesus taught in people’s homes...For example He often visited Lazarus, Martha and Mary’s home and taught...We see this in several places in the Gospels...

On one occasion, Jesus and His disciples were their guests, and Mary sat at Jesus’s feet listening to Jesus’s teaching...Jesus also taught in fields, by trees, on boats, by the sea, in the temple, by a well, on the mount of Olive, on mountaintops, in valleys, and just about everywhere He went...

So I'd say we can disregard most everything you claim about Jesus or the bible...

Fundamentalists in many respects are not unlike Muslims interpreters of the Quran, where faith and reason are incompatible. To Catholics, faith and reason are braided together. Therein lies the difference!

I, the muzlims (if you say so) and Jesus agree with that statement...We know better than to mix our human reasoning with the spiritual things and truths of God...

Oddly the first thing a Catholic priest learns is 3+ years of human philosophy/reasoning, ahead of any religious teaching...And what does Jesus say about that???

Col_2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.

And these philosophers, the great thinkers and scholars of the Catholic religion are going to show us something???

1Co_2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

Throwing out snippets of scripture is exactly what sola scripturas do. They refuse to hold their claims to serious theological and historical debate and this is why no university theological department take fundamentalists seriously anymore than the way Muslims interpret the Quran.
