just randomly jumped through the video to a point where the text on the screen said that christians reject all worldly authority. Ephesians 6 lays out clear obedience expectations, and like, are we completely forgetting Romans 13:1?

And there lies the problem with not actually watching the video. Mark specifically calls out the bullshit of Romans 13 for 20 something minutes. He breaks down the entire history of Constantines hijacking. He was pointing out that modern day Christians are nothing of the kind.

then idk what the word 'Christian' means. I always associated Christianity with believing what the Bible says, and that it's the inspired word of god, profitable for reproof, etc.

I would like to first say that im not a "Christian"... I dont consider my self a "Christian" as modern exoteric Christian practice is salvationist occultism. Nothing more. What im trying to convey is that religions are just like everything else on this planet....

They are manipulated and co opted by those who seek the power of ones mind. They are just as corrupt and propaganda filled as everything else on this planet.... Doesnt mean there is no truth to the ESOTERIC teachings of Christianity which are founded largely in natural law.

True "Christians" are those whos goal is to live in the image of Christ. Those who seek to achieve Christ consciousness. Not those who bow to the blatant words of man. Not those who believe they can serve two masters.

If you look at the actual teachings of Christ through his actions (whether you believe him to be an historical account or religious allegory) there is much to be learned. Half the things modern Christians take as "the word of god" are the very things Christ was waging war against

I've read the Bible, have memorized over 800 verses and have done extensive study into context, theology, translations (and errors), and various debates. I'm pretty skeptical whenever anybody makes any strong claim about what Christ was 'really teaching.'

Well just look at what the figure was waging war against and his teachings become clear. He was waging war against the state, order following, money changers, and mind control.... The lost esoteric teaching of Christianity is simple... Its essentially the golden rule....

What im trying to get across is that the bible and most "Christians" are heavily corrupt and co opted.... Modern Christianity born out of the Flavian dynasty is simply salvationist occultism. Constantine effectively turned Christ into a deity of worship.

I don't see how this is significantly different than any one of the other hundreds of interpretations people absolutely insist is true about the Bible. "No, Christ really meant X!" If I had a dime for every time I heard that...

Im not interpreting the bible.... IM BLATANTLY STATING THE BIBLE IS BULLSHIT DESIGNED TO KEEP PEOPLE DOCILE AND IN A STATE OF IGNORANCE! My understanding of Christ comes from research in Natural Law, historical account, and astrotheology.... Not scripture/bible worship.

So not the Bible, but rather all those other detailed, reliable sources detailing Christ and what he was about?
