Whilst I can understand the appeal, I feel like modern day Christianity is weird. There are so many plaguing issues Christianity has in today's world. The first one is most churches are desperate for members, causing a complete revocation of the core principles. They've started letting everyone in, regardless of who they are, including gays, transgenders, and who knows what else. This is also shown by the complete downplaying of some of the teachings of the old testament.

The second is low members = low dues. This wouldn't be such a big deal, if it wasn't brought up literally every week. I get it, churches need money to function, but you know what turns me off the church? Making it into an event every sunday where you talk about it.

But realistically, the issue is the weird inconsistencies between all the factions. For example, we use KJV standard which is nice. But how do we know which bible version is right? How do we know which is wrong? If God truly wanted us to know his words, why are their so many factions of Christianity, split upon multiple books, all over the place. And why does Jesus in the bible always seem to talk in super cryptic parables which have yet to be understood properly by people who have studied the bible for years?

The assertions of your first two paragraphs are absolutely spot-on, and the reason is because the churches have been usurped by satanic forces. God does not bless these churches, and in fact pours hardships on them— as punishment for being blasphemous and apocryphal. The answer to the first few questions is rooted in what I've already said. However,

And why does Jesus in the bible always seem to talk in super cryptic parables which have yet to be understood properly by people who have studied the bible for years?

Pearls before swine; let those who have eyes to see and ears that hear understand his message. There are tons of devout Christ-followers in this world, who follow in his footsteps every day and understand more about the LORD's words than the vast majority of humans ever could. Obviously, they don't talk to most people about it, because: see the first sentence in this paragraph. It'd be an exercise in futility.

Osteen isn't doing too bad, how is his church experiencing hardships?

The same way that questionable celebrities are millionaires and worshiped by normies. They're so far removed from Christ that they start getting materially blessed by he who temporarily rules the Earth.
