The scripture I gave you shows a hierarchical Church; the precise structure of the hierarchy adapts to the needs of the times. The strong papacy in the West, for example, was a natural way to compensate for the feudal fragmentation of political power, and thanks to that it was easier for us to beat down of various Protestant heresies. The episcopacy system in the East also formed in response to their unique challenges.

The passages you quote show no such hierarchical Church. Even if the early church developed as it did in response to the “needs of the times”, that does not mean the contemporary church need maintain the same structure.
I'll pass over the remark about beating down Protestant heresies, except to comment that you didn't beat them down all that well.
