RE: Why So Many Denominations...
When I said political authority it was because you said that Joseph's situation is what we should pattern the church after. Joseph was obviously in political power. It was the Egyptians I was referring to as Starving, you misunderstood me there.
I think you're reading way too much into the deacons and overseers here. Paul's letters were written to address specific people in a specific situation. He gave instructions to them that sometimes wouldn't apply to us. There is not any clear instructions for all Christians to organize a certain way no matter what. He was giving those people practical advise on how to organize, seeing as they lacked the skill themselves.
Also, I think you make too big of a deal on the pronunciation of Yeshua. Actually scholars disagree with your pronunciation, as well.
