Christ wasn’t a rebel against authority. He is the Authority. He submitted perfectly to the Father and fulfilled the Law. You’re confusing righteousness with rebellion. ‘ “I reject authority but accept truth” is incoherent. Truth has a source. If Christ is truth, He’s also Lord. You can’t have one without the other. You want Jesus as life coach, not King. Paul’s words don’t contradict Christ’s. You just reject the interpretive framework Christ gave through His commissioned Apostles. That’s not fidelity to Jesus. That’s you deciding you know better than the Church He built. The needle parable is about wealth because Christ said “How difficult it is for those who have wealth to enter the kingdom” (Mark 10:23). The disciples asked ‘Who then can be saved?’ because they understood He meant material wealth. You’re the one adding layers. You don’t have research. You have a worldview that requires you to dismiss anything that demands submission. That’s not seeking truth. That’s seeking autonomy. Christ is Lord or He’s nothing. Repent and submit, or stop pretending you follow Him
