Im not here to preach, but I do have thoughts on the subject. I’ll probably add some as time goes on, but what are your thoughts? I see a wide array across the different forums here, and I wonder if open discussion can bring us all any closer to Truth, Love, Beauty, Peace, and everything else our souls desire/require.
Please, speak as generally or as autistically hyper-focused as you want
This is one of the most useful videos i’ve ever seen. It tells every single division, sect, denomination, split, etc. since the beginning.
I like Wes Huff’s historical stuff, but he’s too Canadian sometimes. If you watch Matt Ehrett conspiracy vids, you know exactly what i’m talking about… anyway, here’s the vid: NOTE: start at 7m30s if you want to skip the backstory

Personally, I’m into the Pentarchy. One of the original 5 churches. Copts split in 300 or something, Greece/Constantinople split in 1080 or around that time, then the Roman Catholics were like, “nope it was just us the whole time, peter has the keys, we were the only real church ever.only us. Always has been”
Romans gonna Roman, i guess. I suppose all the councils were just for funsies.
Being that sects are man-made, you can probably find error in any of them if you dig enough. So long as you earnestly love the Lord, repent your sins, and make an honest effort to avoid sinful behavior you're probably gonna make it.
True, we must remember the mercy to the thief: 42 And he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.” 43 And he said to him, “Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in paradise.”
I do believe in the sacraments, and they do have power to heal and aid the soul— but I cannot conceive of God’s mercy and righteous judgment. That’s why I am human, and he is God.
