I can't enlighten you revelation comes from God.
1. Realize your need for God. Man is not perfect and is dependent on God for salvation and life.
2. Seek the truth with all of your heart.
3. Receive the gift of faith.
4. Through faith receive revelation
5. Continue in a personal relationship with God.

1. You already understand.
2. Jesus was telling the rich young ruler that his god was his money. You cannot serve God and mammon. It doesn't apply to all of us, though we should be willing to give back to God anything He has given to us if He asked us to. God is to be our first priority in life.
3. In comparison with our love for God, yes, we should hate our parents (love them much less).
4. I've never understood that passage either.
5. Little children will believe their parents no matter what the parent tells them, pretty much. If God tells you something, you should believe Him, even if it doesn't seem to make sense because He understands a lot that you don't understand. We are to trust in God like a little child trusts in his or her parents.
6. So you can predict where the wind is going to blow all the time? Ancient people didn't have such meteorology and Jesus was talking to them. He wasn't wrong.
7. Correct. The pharisees and teachers were the most righteous in the land when it came to superficially following the Law. We have to surpass their righteousness and we can't do it in our own strength. They followed the Law with all their strength and still came up far short of God's standard of righteousness. Jesus was making it clear that your own natural righteousness by performing the deeds of the Law would not be good enough in God's sight. You need the righteousness of Christ which is by grace. It is something that God gives to you when you confess your sin, repent, and agree to live for Him.
8. Every time you sin, God must bring that sin to justice. Since God is patient, He hasn't killed you yet. When He does kill you, He will make you pay for your sins (lying, stealing, lusting because that is considered by God the same as adultery [Matthew 5:27], holding a grudge because that's just like murder [Matthew 5, don't remember the verse], fornication, etc.) to the full extent of the Law. God's justice will be extremely thorough. Jesus warned it would grind you to powder, though I can't remember what verse that is either. It's right after He tells Peter He's going to build His Church upon the rock of His salvation. If any man lands on that rock, he will be broken, but if the rock lands on any man, it will grind him to powder. There will be some suffering involved on your part, no matter what you do, but it will be considerably less if you are God's friend, meaning you've repented and accepted Christ, rather than God's enemy, meaning you haven't. When Jesus died, He paid the penalty that we owed for our sins.
You forgot about the part where Jesus rose from the dead, proving that He had won the victory over sin and death. You have to believe in that too (Romans 10:9-10).

1. matthew 22:37 & 39- "Jesus said to them " You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and all your mind". ..."and the second is like it You shall love your neighbor as yourself".
2.luke 14:27,28,33- and whoever does not bear his cross and come after Me cannot be my disciple. For whick of you, intending to a build a tower, does not sit down first and count the cost, whether he has enough to finish it........so likewise, whoever of you does not forsake all that he has cannot be my disciple. All it means is to think about Jesus first.....nothing else matters is all. you can have everything as long as God has your heart. Just read the book of Job.
3. answered by 2.
4.matthew 26"26-28- And as they were eating, Jesus took bread,blessed and broke it, and gave it to his disciples and said,"take,eat;this is My body." Then He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you. For this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins...."
5.Matthew 18:4- therefore whoever HUMBLES himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
6. John 3:9,12- "......How can these things be?.....If I have told you earthly thing and you do not belive, how will you believe if i tell you heavenly things." This is the only scripture related to born again. There are many though that say we need to die to our selves meaning selfishness or self anything.
7.Up at 4 a new covenant was made with God. And Jesus was the new sacrifice. When His blood was shed it was for our sins, all of them. We are not bound to the animal sacrifices of the old covenant becasue of the new covenant. The only laws we are told to keep and the ten commandments.
If you tried to follow all of those it would most likely leave you tired of trying and you would feel like a failure, because of the facts that you could not keep them on your own. That is why Jesus said in John 14:15-17- "if you love Me, keep My commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever- the Spirit of thruth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.
The only why to know the truth of everything that you are asking is to be a believer in Jesus and He will help you understand all that you have asked.

You are looking for things to do while nothing you do can save you. God does that, and He does so through faith in Him.
Turn your heart and mind from the separation that is there and toward God. Be baptized into Christ.
Love God instead of yourself. Recognize that no material things are of more importance than a proper relationship to God. Place no living person above Him and His will for your life. Willingly make his suffering as well as his very life your own. Subject yourself to his instruction in innocense and with trust. Become a new creation by His hand. Continue to live in the righteousness He bestows upon you.
All these things are not so hard to understand and do, but they will never be recognized by anyone who does not love God.

1. Christians are to follow the scriptures; not the Bible (they are not synonymous currently in htis country).
2.Christians (and Jews separately) are given what I presently call the '2 or more witnesses' principle. If you apply it, we are often 'commanded' something else also, that on the surface appears contradictory. (See 1 Samuel 16:7; that is not SCRIPTURAL old testament either presently (for a mature dividing of God's word).

Jesus was a Jew and Judaism had become bogged down in legalisms by the time of Christ.If you are so much against the inconsistencies of Christianity you might consider taking your ethics from the Torah of Moses.Incidentally I believe you meant to write bollocks.

Christ was the final sacrifice bringing freedom from all the OT "law's" you are referrencing. The point being we can not ever be free of sin-no matter how hard we try. Only through Christ- not by our works/our diet/our sacrifices/etc....
