So I've heard many open Christian's don't see the bible as morally authoritative which I agree with but then that begs the problem if sin isn't about the bible how do we define it? What do we have to repent of?

Hello I personally hold to no as in scirpture it says you can't serve both God and wealth(Matthew 6:24) and thus have to get rid of the wealth and put it towards serving God(Matthew 19) and so I'm wondering how any Christian capitalist reinterpret these clear verses condemning wealth and by capitalism I mean anything Kent hovid does or says

Sorry if I’m overwhelming you I just have lots of questions but overall I’ve gotta say Gnosticism makes a lot more sense than traditional Christianity and finally has a truthful answer to the question why did God kill all those kids for laughing at a bald man

Basically I have a question about the story of Moses. Was it created by man to attract new followers or is it a story by God in order to teach us the danger of idolatry or are there anachronisms due to oral tradition because as you probably know historical evidence points towards Moses either not existing or being heavily mythologized(as there is cannan syncretism during the time of Moses so he couldn’t have been in Egypt) also if Moses isn’t real then how can we trust the 10 commandments
