2b. What negatives are there in NT Christianity? All the list you have come up with are a result of institutional decisions and people's opinions. The only thing that makes a Christian a Christian are those things contained in the NT--so that is common denominator for all places and all times.

You're kidding right? Or just cherry picking again.
Matthew 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill. (just said OT counts)
Matthew 10:21 And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death.
Mark 7:10 For Moses said, Honor your father and your mother; and, Whoever curses father or mother, let him die the death:
Luke 12:5 But I will forewarn you whom you shall fear: Fear him, who after he has killed has power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.
Luke 12:47 And that servant, who knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.
Acts 12:23 And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost.
There are more.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
