Christ is a title for a condition of mind-the Lord's anointed. Even Cyrus in the OT was called a Christ. It's not a name for Jesus.

Word concept fallacy. Yes, Christ translates to "anointed one". The prophesized Messiah of the OT named Christ is a particular person. Here's what you did: "Cyrus is king but Christ is also king - they must be the same thing". In typical gnostic fashion you collapsed the contextual meaning of the word which led you to wrong interpretation.

This is why you need a tradition of interpretation, because your mind can made up whatever it feels like when you read the Bible by your own in your closet, thinking you've acquired special gnosis through spiritual pathways. This leaves you confused and being overtly skeptical of everything that supposedly came from outside sources (exoteric), ignoring the glaring absurdity of your inner enlightened epiphany (esoteric) which is only backed up by your feeble deluded mind (which you believe to be an illusion btw, so there's no "you" in the equation).

Of course, your "epiphany" didn't really come from within you but you've red this gnostic new age garbage elsewhere and made up some idiosyncratic belief system that borrows from many sources which you happened to like - it's a philosophical pick-and-choose all-you-can-eat buffet. This is exactly what you do with the Christian tradition. You pick narratives and ideas that appeals to you and discard the rest. But the Christian worldview is holistic and can't be subjected to reductionism and piecemealing. While gnosticism and esotericism is ancient, this new age form of gnosticism is a very modern, individualistic and consumerist approach to worldviews. This is what makes it so appealing to the fragmented, uprooted, ahistorical and confused individual consumer in todays society, who is desperately craves truth and meaning in this clown world.

The result is a fragmented and incoherent mess that only makes sense to you and is not verifiable and proven in any way - why would anyone care for your individually-tailored system when anyone can do the same and get their own tailored system that is similar, yet different and made to match the tastes and preferences of the individual consumer? You reject objective universal truth in the person of Christ who is God. Great, so why should I care about "your truth" at all when I can have "my truth"?

Hope you read this with an open and critical mind and think about it. You said there are many possible perspectives right? Try this one.
