I will think about it. And I appreciate the fact that you are a sincere man.

But I want you to know that I am not skeptical of Jesus.

But his self proclaimed friends have been causing havoc for centuries.

What you are saying isn't even logical. You are not skeptical of Jesus? Do you have a direct line to Jesus? Aren't you reading ABOUT Jesus from books also written by his so-called friends? All you are doing is saying you are smarter than all the scholars before you to be able to choose which friends to believe.
Yes, I don't have an agenda.

That's good to hear. I can't however understand your exact complaints with any scripture. The way you properly interpret scripture is with other scripture. If some passages seem to contradict others, then you have misunderstood one or the other. You shouldn't simply reject everything that doesn't sound right. You take the time and study to consolidate the passages into a clear comprehensive meaning.

In this manner Paul's writings completely agree with any other scripture and actually add clarity to the whole picture "IF" you understand what you are reading.
