The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

Im a bit burnt out in life and im looking for something to turn towards and believe in. I do believe in a higher being but have never read into much of anything to Christianity, all i know is that Roman Catholicism is like a modern take on it and orthodox is "old school" from what ive heard.

I like the Vatican and all the history with Roman Catholicism but Orthodox just seems more up my ally.

Just not sure which one to pursue is my question.

Or am i not looking at this the right way or just over thinking it?

Catholicism is simultaneously the most successful Church and the most hated one because of how many lies are constantly spread about it. Ultimately, you should pick the Church which you know holds the truth, regardless of how much you will suffer at the hands of it's persecutors.

Just become Eastern Catholic. It's literally just Orthodox who are in Communion with Rome.

Glad to hear you want to learn more. If you haven't yet, I suggest you try reaching out to Christ. Try praying to Jesus (even if it feels odd) and asking him to help you find your way and grow closer to God. Maybe also try reading the Gospels, keeping in mind that there will be some things that appear confusing at first.

As for your question, I don't think it matters at this point. The points upon which your choice would hang are (I presume) meaningless to you right now since you haven't learned much of what Christianity is about.

For example: while I find the Roman church appealing, there are certain beliefs it holds that I can't in good faith accept, such as Mary's immaculate conception and transubstantiation. But what do these matter to someone who has yet to learn the Gospel at all? They can only distract you from Christ at this point.

Both of these churches are orthodox (little 'o') and a reliable starting point for somebody who wants to learn more. You may also try a large protestant church (like the Lutheran church) if you want; but I recommend against walking into a random non-denominational or unaffiliated 'baptist' church since you don't really know what you'll get (less of an issue if you're not in America). If you end up coming to faith, then down the road you can decide how you feel about the differences between churches.

In short, just pick one. And pursue a relationship with Christ!

There is a Bible in Georgia that has been leaking GALLONS of oil since January 27th, 2017. The owner of the Bible has given a prophecy that Heads of State (including Nancy Pelosi and Pat Schumer) will repent and get saved, and convert.

PREPARE (FOR BIG)

I'M GONNA SHOW MARKERS FOR HOW MUCH BIGGER THIS IS

THERE'S GONNA BE 'BOOK OF ACTS' EXPERIENCES, SAUL-LIKE EXPERIENCES, AND AS EXTREME AS THEY ARE AGAINST GOD, THEY WILL BE AS EXTREME FOR ME.

FAMILY GENERALS WILL CONVERT OVERNIGHT. THEY WILL REPENT OVERNIGHT. HARD THINGS TO US WILL BECOME EASY OVERNIGHT. WHAT GOD WILL DO WILL BE SO AMAZING THAT IT WON'T BE ABOUT THE PERSON IN THE POSITION OR THE PERSON WHO PRAYED THE PRAYER.

The Prophecy:

I know you really want to recruit for the devil, but I posted in this thread on purpose.

Thanks for the responses even if it was very limited. I think im going to order a bible from nearby churches (related to their type) and start from there.
