So many things to discuss here. A few observations:

The underlined is a typo you could fix so I could better understand you.

Knowing something and memorizing words are two different things. If you know Scripture as you seem to be presenting, then you understand what I'm saying.

Many seem to have decent understandings of both Old & New but do not end up in the sect you did. It's a big discussion.

Neither the Hebrew nor the Greek is translated as well as they could be and there is still a lot of work going on to better translate and explain the entire Text. In my experience, there is tremendous value in doing or reading such translational and interpretive work. There's a lot of beauty and nuance we simply do not get in English.
When my Grandfather, the first of our family to accept Jesus as our Lord, Messiah, God, etc.. studied the conglomerated Churches within the entire Protestant Movement [Wesleyan, Baptist, Presbyterian, Pentecostal, Methodist, ect]. He spent several years just being a follower of Christ/a Christian going to these churches and learning their doctrines. And he chose Pentecostal because it's closest to what the New Testament Jesus spoke about and Disciples/+ Paul + it had many attributes to what the Prophets and King David exemplified. And he became Pentecostal and then my Dad and then myself and it will continue beyond my son and grandson until Jesus Returns.

Quite the history. Thanks for revealing it.
