InHeb. 12:21 "...and so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake...."
Paul is referring to the fear Moses had when he stood at the base of an untouchable mountain and witnessed blazing fire, gloom, darkness, trumpets sounding, and words.
Yet, Paul is using Deut. 9:19
"For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure, wherewith the Lord was wroth against you to destroy you"
which is actually referring to Moses' fear of the Lord's anger at the time he found them worshipping the Golden Calf.

"...even Jesus made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec"
Paul misappliedPsalm 110:4
"The Lord hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek") to Jesus.
The "thou" inPsalm 110:4is referring to David, not Jesus.
53.
"Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree"
Paul usedDeut. 21:22-23
"And if a man have committed a sin worthy of death, and he be put to death, and thou hang him on a tree: his body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but thou shalt in any wise bury him that day, ...."
for his own ends.
Deut. 21:22is referring to a sinful man who couldn't be Jesus since the latter is supposedly sinless(1 Peter 2:22).
Jesus was not hanged.
He did not die on a tree and never remained "upon the tree" during the night.
Actually Paul is calling the alleged "Savior" cursed.
54.
"For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord"
Heb. 10:30
Paul quoted part ofDeut. 32:35
"Vengeance is mine, and recompense...."
and falsely attributed the original comment to the Lord. The quote was actually made by someone who felt he was God's agent.

"But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly his faith is counted for righteousness. Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works, Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin"
Rom. 4:5-8
Paul misinterpretedPsalms 32:1-2
"Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. Blessed is the man unto whom the Lord imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile".
Just because God forgave iniquities does not mean one is saved by faith.
Psalms says nothing about belief or believing "on him."
In no sense does Psalms imply that a man's sins are forgiven because he believed or accepted something.
56.
"But God raised him from the dead. And he was seen many days of them which come up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses unto the people. and we declare unto you glad tidings how that the promise which was made unto the fathers, God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm '...the Lord hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee'".
Where does Psalm 2 say or where is it equivalent to saying in some distant day I will raise Jesus of Nazareth, Joseph's son, from the dead.
The second Psalm does not promise that:
anyone will rise from the dead,
he who is the Son of God must rise from the dead,
Jesus of Nazareth is the son of God or
anyone risen from the dead shall be the son of God.
Moreover, the Psalmist in Psalm 2:7 is speaking of himself, not Jesus.
