/christian/ - Christian Discussion and Fellowship

Well let's see:

Roman Catholics are papists, Protestants are too many heresies to name, and Nestorians think Jesus is two persons.

So your best bet is with Orthodoxy which isn't just Eastern but also Western as we have many Western Orthodox. (When I say Orthodox I don't mean the Monophysites who pretend to be Orthodox, they are actually heretics not actually Orthodox. Orthodox in the Orthodox Catholic Communion are the real Orthodox. So begome Orthodox Catholic).

Name one heresy in Protestantism that is specifically in the calvinist or lutheran camp. It's cheating to use charismatics as an example because we all dislike them.

Haha, but you just said Romans are Papists. So are the Eastern Catholics.

Then again (and I've posted this before), little Miryam is a Chaldean Catholic. Seems to work for her! Simple faith, like a mustard seed… and she dwarfs many of us with it.

Sola Fide. Sola Scriptura. Those are major heresies and anyone who believes in them goes straight to hell.

Why should I care about Uniate heretics who worship the pope (Satan incarnate)?

I don't support the papacy either. I just think that kid represents the best of them.. or best of all of us tbh.

Here’s my non ironic response: each part has things to offer the other. The west is very academic and scientific, while the east is based more on tradition and mysticism (although there are mystics in the west of course, like John of the Cross and Thomas Kempas). Really, it comes down to if you think papal authority or sola scriptura is valid, or if you want to go with ancient church fathers and mystical faith. In any case, never see the west or east as being unchristian or evil, but rather lost sheep that must answer the master’s call like we all must.

Depends what you mean by 'better'. I would say Catholicism doesn't have good public image right now with all the kiddie fiddling scandals.

>>751203

Western Christianity, because they have uniates of Nestorians, Orientals and Easterns.

>>751240

also protestant uniates: Anglican ordinariate

I bet you erroneously assume that sola fide means no sanctification, and sola scriptura means personal interpretation. both of which clearly false understands to anyone who reads the original sources.
