Okay thank you, I know it's almost impossible to have a true church that Jesus himself built but if I could be led by Him to what he approves of, that would be good enough for me.

I think for me because I have no Christian friends (no friends at all might I add) i have to find a church I can build a habit of going to which in turn I'd then meet people there and hopefully make good Christian friends that can guide me somewhat. Having been to three churches in the past...

I do see this more and more and even in a book I'm reading on a short introduction to orthodoxy before the church split they were divisions so really and truly is there any such thing as a one true church? It seems the more i research the more i'm inclined to say maybe not and the more i'm...

hmm thats interesting and yes i've noticed some churches do require you be re baptised, not a problem i've had though since i've been baptised in the first place

I don't think the Catholic stance is that the church is built upon Peter or maybe I've missed the mark and they do think that but I'm not under that impression, I do know the same verse is used to defend the Pope of Rome's papacy. I will say either way it does seem that Christians a lot of the...

Thank you I wasn't aware of this, I simply thought if I'm baptised in a church then that automatically makes me a part of it, thank you for letting me know that's not the case.

Thank you, I guess I should stop being so particular about where I'm baptised then. I do tend to have a habit of overthinking things and it can be a blessing and a curse sometimes. I hope I find much more clarity in my Christian walk and find a community in person that can support me along the...

God is not a God of confusion so I'm sure if He meant that building a church upon this rock meant building many churches with all sorts of different beliefs and that's just fine He would have said so. God all throughout the old and new testament has been very clear what He expects of us, it...

Also, I'd appreciate it if Christians act respectively towards each other, I'm getting quite fed up when on here whenever I mention anything that isn't of protestant origin I get met with a bunch of almost hate or people telling me neither is the true church, but Jesus would say otherwise so if...

Where does the bible say that? none of the early church fathers say that either, but you're entitled to your opinion.

Hmm okay, thank you gave me some clarity and confirmed some things I had already thought. I do not want to say Eastern orthodoxy is ethnocentric because I think it's an unfair judgement to make but here in the West, it's presented as such and unfortunately for me as much as I wanted to feel the...

For anyone who is from the Orthodox or Catholic background currently or formally... I am confused between which one is the truth, I know only one can be the original church Christ started but I don't know which one. I lean more towards Catholicism but I fear that's only for the mere fact I am in...

Thank you, I think mental health is so important especially when it comes to faith, your mind can be your biggest enemy sometimes and it's good to know God is always with you and will you give you the strength to go on but I obviously would advise anyone to seek professional help and spiritual...

Thank you Grace and God bless you 🙏
