Getting hung up on whether one of mans books is perfect, is a childs game.

Is this even a question?
Anyway NO, there is no reference anywhere in the Bible about "esoteric knowledge".
You made it up.
The Bible is the only true authority in the universe.

The attitude that is essential for understanding God's Word is to "want" to do God's will. It is a heart experience, not just a head knowledge. (John 7:17)
Some people have difficulty understanding Bible truth because they see a different way that seems right. (Isa 53:6 and Prov
16:25)
and.......esoterically speaking....."Strait is the gate , and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and FEW there be that find it."
Matthew 7:14

Jesus said "Let those with ears to hear, let them hear. Many secrets which are not revealed (even Christians) aren't privy to. Reasons are self evident. Even the discliples didn't understand Jesus. I'm in a bible study class and can tell you beyond a shadow of a doubt. Most have not even scratched the surface and some even doubt the veracity of many of the passages in the old and new Testament. The new Testament talks about recieving the meat not just the milk of the word. Well one needs to be prepared, mature, and grounded in the holy spirit. Until that happens they'll continue to be spoon fed by pastors and preachers; many of whom are no more able to hear and revieve the meat themselves than the "Christians" they try to teach.

Yes, that is absolutely right.
When you read the Bible in its appropriate cultural context, it opens up a world of esoteric thought, and harmonizes with the spiritual traditions of all religions.
The New Testaments talks constantly about 'gnosis' and 'mysteria,' both of which were associated with esoteric knowledge in the ancient world.

The truth comes by revelation of God and is not dependent on the knowledge of a man.

Not exactly. When you have the Gift of the Holy Ghost these things will be revealed.

so why are you even playing? Are you too good? Are you above God sending his only begotten son, Jesus Christ< to die for the sins of mankind? The soul is eternal, the body and mind is so quick to die... Don't die in vein. Accept Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Saviour...
