 I suppose this is why I don't take the "new testament" seriously at all. it went from "look at this shit, my words are clear now do it" to "ohhhhhh you'll never understand I'm just talking lalala" 

Agreed, it's a gateway towards near-Solipsist Gnosticism in the wrong hands. 

Gnosticism - Wikipedia:

These various groups emphasized personal spiritual knowledge (gnosis) above the orthodox teachings, traditions, and authority of traditional religious institutions. Viewing material existence as flawed or evil, Gnostic cosmogony generally presents a distinction between a supreme, hidden God and a malevolent lesser divinity (sometimes associated with the Yahweh of the Old Testament) who is responsible for creating the material universe. Gnostics considered the principal element of salvation to be direct knowledge of the supreme divinity in the form of mystical or esoteric insight. Many Gnostic texts deal not in concepts of sin and repentance, but with illusion and enlightenment.

 exactly. this is why Karaite Judaism aligns with me. all words of any human being, rabbi, sage, or anything else, are meaningless without actual divine evidence.
