Truth without authority is just your opinion with a halo. If truth exists objectively, it has a source. That source has authority whether you acknowledge it or not. You’re not rejecting authority. You’re just crowning yourself as the final arbiter of what’s true. That’s not freedom. That’s the oldest rebellion in the book. “You will be like God, knowing good and evil.”

How exactly do you think we're supposed to ascend...by NOT becoming more God-like? What do you think John 14:12 is about? Following Christ doesn't mean "being a follower". It means doing what Christ did: seeking truth wherever it could be found, whether that was with the Druids, Egyptians, Hindus, Buddhists, Nagas, Essenes, or somewhere else entirely. Trailblazers are followers of Christ, not lemmings.
