alb,
You are conflating "respect and love" with authority and commission.
Galatians 2:11-13
11 And when Peter came to Antioch, to the face I stood up against him, because he was blameworthy,
12 for before the coming of certain from James, with the nations he was eating, and when they came, he was withdrawing and separating himself, fearing those of the circumcision,
13 and dissemble with him also did the other Jews, so that also Barnabas was carried away by their dissimulation.
Your denial of the existence of spiritual authority will prevent you from making distinctions in the characteristics of the divine attributes.
