Hello All.
I am making this post because I have seen many users on here posting content linking to conventional Christian channels or articles that talk about exoteric Christianity as it is practiced worldwide. While I've had my own run ins with conventional Christianity in the past (I wasn't raised in a Christian household), I was still searching for the Truth so I didn't really spend a whole lot of time on exoteric Christianity and kept learning about many different spiritual paths, religious as well as esoteric. After discovering Laura's work, I realized I should dig deeper into Christianity, and while I haven't finished all of Paul to Mark yet (I'm only 1/3 in) and don't know what the final conclusion of the book is, I did want to make this post asking you all (especially the ones who post exoteric christian content) about what your views on Christianity are in relation to the information on this forum and how does it relate to your overall worldview and knowledge base. Do you share the same views as these people you link to or do you find some mutual correspondence with their work and take what is useful while discarding what may not fit your beliefs personally.
I ask because I'm going through a really rough period in my life right now and I feel attached to the idea of accepting Jesus Christ into my life in the usual way many out there do (going to church, repenting, requesting salvation and deliverance and so on), but I don't want to be like the stereotypical born again Christian who rejects knowledge and common sense either, so I am personally trying to reconciliate the two.
I like the ideas of Pauline Christianity and will keep my mind open to new ideas, but right now I just want to go to church and meditate on the idea of Jesus dying for our sins on the cross and all those usual things Christians think and talk about because I feel like this will help me out, but as mentioned earlier I am concerned about getting sucked into a religious rabbit hole. So the Christians on this forum, please share with me some of your thoughts about exoteric Christianity and do you feel it's something worth looking into and what to watch out for.
The reason I would like to explore exoteric Christianity is because out of all the religions out there, this one seems to be the one the PTB really don't like. There seems to be some kind of a movement to completely stamp out Christianity and many conventional Christians have a proclivity towards searching for the truth, even if they may not always hit the mark all the time. I feel like there is some truth there. Anyways, I'll stop here. Thanks for reading.
