The Bible contains both immense exoteric and esoteric knowledge. To say that it has only one or the other is ignorant

By definition if the Bible contains esoteric knowledge, it cannot be interpreted except by a special class of person. This is the heart of gnosticism. It is falsehood.

The parables that Jesus Christ told to people weren't understood, and even his disciples didn't fully understand. That should say it all

Jesus literally explained them to His disciples, and it's recorded in scripture.

And yet the church exists. I love the Bible too man, I'm just trying to make you realize that there's more to the word of God than you think

Yes the Universal Church exists. I'm not sure what your point is unless by 'the church' you mean the RCC which claims the only true interpretation of Holy Scripture and yet declared the gospel anathema at the Council of Trent.
