Which Christian faith is the true faith

>>3182520
None.

>>3182520
The church founded by Christ which still exists today.

>>3182520
Solipsism.

>>3182520
None

>>3182540
by those standards the non chalcedonains and nestroians have less changes in doctrine as if that counts.

>>3182520
Traditional Catholicism

What does it matter to you? You looking to convert or something?

This board is supposed to be about academics. It isn't a proselytization board, and don't fall for the LARPers trying to convert you.

Is there a particular church, tradition, or comparative topic, or something you'd like to discuss?

>>3182567
Which tradition?
Jesuits
Dominicans
Franciscans
Augustinians
Liberation theology
Thomists
Molinists
SSPX
New Ways Ministry
Women's Ordination Conference
Catholics for Choice

There is no one traditional Catholicism.

The most spiritual and Christ-loving people are fundamental Bible-believing Christians.

>>3182540
This is kind of dumb. This assumes that every other church is a heresy of the Orthodox Church, but if the Orthodox Church completely changes its doctrine but retains its organization, it is still considered "the original church."

>>3182591
Those are various orders and schools of thought within traditional Catholicism. Go to where the tradition is being actively practiced and you'll find all these things, the SSPX is a good place to start.

>>3182520
Islam

>>3182529
>no such thing

>>3182520
Oriental Orthodoxy

>>3182520
Does it really matter when Jesus just tells you to accept him as your savior and you won't go to hell, and accept God and you'll go to heaven + don't always be a general dick.

>"All those others have strayed from the church of god"

As long as you believe in and accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and savior you belong to the true church. The church is NOT an organization. The church is God's people

>>3182520
Unitarianism/Non-trinitarianism/Arianism

But really, >>3183479
is correct.

>>3182685
can someone give me a quick rundown on the Unification Church? my parents were and still are into this and I have no idea about its history how it's perceived by others

>>3182601
What did the "real" christians believe before the bible was written?

>>3183535
actually make it a long rundown I need to know what the fuck i've been born into my whole life

>>3183536
That Jesus Christ was the Messiah, and that he would return.

Marcionite Christianity and its derviatives (Bogomils, Cathars, Paulicians)

too bad they're all fucking DEAD

Only the most obscure of Catholic monastic orders. The more mystic the better.

>>3184203
Hmm, didn't Christ say that the gates of Hell would never prevail against the Church?

apostasy

>>3184220
He was talking about one church (i.e. a building) in particular, not the institutional/organizational Church

>>3182540
>it has "orthodox" in the name therefore it's the most traditionalist maymay
Fucking Greek larpers

Catholic, because all core aspects of Catholicism (such as Apostolic succession and the real presence) were present by the mid to late 100s. There's no way the church of 30 AD was proto-Protestant and all the Catholic stuff was introduced within 2 human lifespans without anyone noticing. Even if Christianity is false, that the early Church was Catholic is an historical fact.

Orthodox easily have the second best claim by this logic.

>>3184556
why not combine the best of both worlds (Eastern Catholicism)

>>3184556
Pauline believers had their writings and beliefs wiped from history by the officials of the state Church and hundreds of thousands of believers were murdered.
If they could do it, the church would take Paul's letters out of the bible, but Christ preserves the bible against its enemies.

>>3182520
Catholicism.

Like it or not, the Protestant Reformation did irreparable damage to Europe, and consequently the world.

>>3182520
Orthodoxy, westerm catholic tradition post 8th-9th century changed a lot. Orthodoxy also changed but far less than catholicsm.

Orthodoxy is the closes version of early christianity as we know it. Second contender would be pre 700s catholicism

>>3182520
Waldensian

There is one Christian faith and many sides not many faiths

Protestantism

God agrees, it's why America is the best country on Earth.

>>3182520
the one that has already died thousands of years ago. there is no real religion only one creation which we are all part of and equally indebted to.
experience, die, rinse and repeat unless you ascend.

>>3182727
To be fair every religion needs to change or add some rules. Islam can`t just declare war on Christian countrys cause lol the quoran gives me permission to do so.

>>3186139

Explain.
