Certain verses in the Bible get highlighted because what they say on the face of it is entirely morally unacceptable to most. It shouldn't be a surprise, therefore, that many individuals identify the same verses as issues.
I guess the only easy approach for you is to keep your own copy of "stock responses."
Telling people to search the forum as you have already answered the question isn't really much help - searching on forums is not straightforward and rarely yields the results you are looking for.
As for the meat of your response it is what I would have predicted. You don't, ultimately see it as unreasonable or that your work level was that high to find your answers. For others, however, both apply.
I suppose as long as you are asking the reasonable question then that is OK. Maybe you will get through your entire life being OK with it, maybe some one thing will come along and be the straw that broke the camel's back, who knows?
I do understand when new people come to the forum they have no idea what's been discussed. But that's not the case here, it's the same person who just wants to throw out the same thing.
I want everyone here to understand when I come across verses that seem to be outside of who God is I question Him directly and ask why, then I will study scripture till God answers my asking. Of coarse some will want to know if God always reveals answers to questions I bring to Him, the answer is that as of this time I'm still waiting on answers to some questions. I believe they will be answer some day, because He has answered many, many times in the past.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
