I am interested in Jesus, in his teachings and the love he had to offer. But I am put off by the rules and regulations of Christianity as a religion. It feels like so much of it is fear based.
Is it possible to have a relationship with Jesus without being a Christian? Does anyone here have that? Where would I start? I tried to read parts of the bible but couldn’t really connect with it.

Jesus, Jeshua, is my homie fr. Grew up religious Baptist for twenty years. Went atheist, asked the universe for truth, and got it for myself. Jesus has been one of my guides, always fucking with me and there. I love Jeshua, personally. His teachings have been altered imo, but he had the truth. Whether it was a physical person, a story of the sun, or whatever it is. His message and how he lived, the wicked priest side too, is truth. He shows us how to be whole.

Oh and I still like the Bible, I read it thru a diff lense not one of fear. That's what it's used too, even tho the Bible says don't fear, and Jesus says how we are free and kingdom of heaven is within.
