Jesus said "I have come to fulfill the law" so does he need to specifically re-iterate every bit of it ?
Things in the bible not crystal clear, thus many denominations.
Interesting point. Denominations began usually by people filled with the Spirit of Christ, annointed, and preaching the Gospel outside of the established Churches.. example Methodism. Why did Wesley preach in the open air and not in the Anglican churches ? Simple, because the Anglican churches of the day had become lax, lethargic, and lame and were far too tolerant of outright sin. They had become, to quote Jesus in Revelation about the Laodicaean Church "Neither hot nor cold, but lukewarm" and he said he will spew them out of his mouth.
Wesley did not 'start' a denomination, he simply preached Christ. It was PEOPLE who gave he and his converts the name "Methodists" because they were very "methodical" in what they did.
The denominational differences are really not worth worrying about. They differ for historical reasons and on some doctrinal issues such as "Baptise Babies....yes/no" Some which baptize infants, also have 'confirmation' to confirm what was alluded to at infant baptism.
The bible is stronger for 'believers baptism' in my opinion, but that is not going to stop me enjoying fellowship with Anglicans who baptize infants.
PERICLES.... Claiming something was done 'in the name' of some figure does not negate that figures clear teaching. Hitler also said "I am doing the work of the Lord" but we know he was not.... because we have access to a) His behaviour b) The foundation on which he claims it was based. We do a simple comparison and conclude..NO.. he was NOT doing 'The work of the Lord'.
Your other point is less easy to answer, about the Old testament.
The historical situation was different.. Pre Messiah, and Israel, was a State.
