Should we pretend that we are *all* right (and nobody is wrong),

No, but I think we can all start at the fact that NONE of us has it all right. Jesus was the only man who ever lived on this earth that had it "right". No person, no church, no single interpretation is "right".

Good grief, even before the Apostles were gone, they were already having problems with peoples' interpretation of the gospel and their fleshly human selves. Only Jesus can be our head. Any human person is subjective, fallible, and going to interpret differently from the next.

I think we're all going to find that we put a little too much focus on one thing or another.

I just wish we could play nicely together.. And, in fact, the majority of the churches in my area do, despite our differences. Jesus first ...

Are those three sentences "right"?

There goes the NT, written by "subjective, fallible" men. If you reject human leadership, you have rejected the Apostles. And if you reject the Apostles, you reject the NT. And if you reject the NT, then how do you know anything about Jesus?
