Hi Mailman,
I see that many people put too much weight on the words of Paul and forget again and again the teachings of Christ. If Paul said the same things as Christ there would be no arguments on this and any other forum. Paul is difficult to understand the way he writes is sometimes contradictory. I urge everyone to return to the teachings of Christ he is the way to eternal life. You cannot and will never go wrong if you follow his teachings. Jesus is the son of God who sits on the right of our Holy Father in Heaven, he did all things, gave us everything not Paul. We have to give importance to the words of Jesus above all else and not place Jesus in rank 2 behind Paul. When there is a discrepancy in the teachings we must follow Jesus teachings. what It means to believe in Christ, is to do as he asks, to proclaim the Kingdom of Heaven and to repent, abandon sin as defined by the commandments. It is not to constantly debate the law and commandments of GOD but also to teach them.
Peace
I am preparing a new post and will have less time to reply but I eventually will if needed.

Your statement that “Pauls write things that contradict Jesus,” is at the root of your inability to distinguish between the simple faith that saves, and the requirement to adhere to a list of “Do’s and dont’s.”
Some proclaim that “saved by Grace through faith” teaches an easy grace vs a faith marked by visible, consistant works. This is why you have this “Yes, But” definition of God’s gift of salvation by His unmerited Grace.
