They are not contrary one to another and it omits those place where Paul said "continue in the word" using other words

Paul claims that Adam is forgiven, but says the reverse about Eve. I forget who it was that called this the "Oriental contempt of women"... but, spot on!
Where?
1Cor.10:23 All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.
1Tim.2:11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. 2:12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. 2:13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve. 2:14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.
If that's true, then shouldn't we assume that Saul was only speaking to men, in this next verse?
Eph.5:6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.

Paul says imputed righteousness by his faction's murder of Jesus. Jesus says the Pharisees killed Him to steal His inheritance.
Where?
Ro.4:6 Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works, 4:7 [Saying], Blessed [are] they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. 4:8 Blessed [is] the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin. 4:9 [...] for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness. [...] 4:20 He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; 4:21 And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform. 4:22 And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.
That's not what David said in context, because context says that David was guilty.
Ps32:1 Blessed
are they whose transgressions are forgiven, and who sins are covered. 2 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin, and whose mouth there is no guile. 3 Because I kept silence, my bones waxed old, from my crying all the day. 4 For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: I became thoroughly miserable while a thorn was fastened in
me. 5 I acknowledged my sin, and hid not mine iniquity: I said, I will confess mine iniquity to the Lord against myself; and thou forgavest the ungodliness of my heart.
[Interesting that Saul doesn't quote the last phrase of the sentence... we see him telling his flock that he caught them by guile.]
Right after Abram is said to believe God, he's asking for proof. And Abraham and his wife got a child of Hagar... they staggered at the promise of God, big time.
Gen.15:6 And Abram believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness. 7 And he said to him, I am God that brought thee out of the land of the Chaldeans, so as to give thee this land to inherit. 8 And he said, Master
and Lord, how shall I know that I shall inherit it?
James.2:19 "Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. 2:20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? 2:21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? 2:22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? 2:23 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God."
Jesus says the Pharisees killed Him to steal His inheritance.
Where?
Matt.21:37 But last of all He sent unto them His son, saying, They will reverence My Son. 21:38 But when
the husbandmen saw the Son, they said among themselves,
This is the heir; come, let us kill Him, and let us seize on His inheritance. 21:39 And they caught Him, and cast [Him] out of the vineyard, and slew [Him].
21:40 When the Lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will He do unto those husbandmen?
21:41 They say unto Him, He will miserably destroy
those wicked men, and will let out [His] vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render Him the fruits in their seasons.
21:42 Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes? 21:43 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. 21:44 And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but
on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
21:45
And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard His parables, they perceived that He spake of them.

Jesus says ye are my disciples if ye continue. Paul says confess Christ and believe the resurrection et viola!
.
They are not contrary one to another and it omits those place where Paul said "continue in the word" using other words
2Tim.3:14 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned [them];
1Cor.4:15 For though ye have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet [have ye] not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.
Eph.4:7 But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ. 4:11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
John.10:12 But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep. 10:16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear My voice; and there shall be one fold, [and] one shepherd.
Matt.23:9 "And call no [man] your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven. 23:10 Neither be ye called masters(teachers): for one is your Master, [even] Christ."
Matt.28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto Me in heaven and in earth.
28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, [even] unto the end of the world.
Amen.

It's not bad enough that Saul of Cilicia rips text out of context and blindly pastes them wherever he assumes they fit, but he single-handedly destroys the most important things that Jesus has commanded us to observe.
This is a large part of why James and the Book of Revelation were written, IMHO. And John certainly knew who the enemy planting tares happened to be. Matthew calls them vipers, in the words of John the Baptist and Jesus. Daniel tells us who gets ground to powder by the mountain cut without hands. It's the Iron Teeth of the beast, and the clay of man are its followers... they usurp the power of three nations with the birth of a little one... to become 10 nations of the same... religion.
It isn't Christianity. It's not even Paulianity's shill to murder the gentiles.
I personally spent decades learning Paulianity. I know the doctrines they taught in the Dispensational Schools and in Calvinism. I am not unaware, KenS. I fought for this thing much longer than I've been fighting against it... so far. Thankfully, my audience was a small one, back in the day... and I spent many of those years changing my mind... which has to be done in order to grow.
