Christian anons, how did you figure out which denomination was objectively the right one?

Has anyone actually ever done the homework and read up on every denomination and figured out which one is true? Did God reveal to you which one is true?

I'd love to hear people's arguments for their denomination, and how they reached that conclusion.

This is bound to start arguments. Try to be nice anons.

They believe they have the holy spirit while other Christians do not, even if they also make the same identical claim using the same standard of evidence. This makes them reject the others as not true Christians.
>>
it's only really between RC and EO
>>
>>17983653
I still haven't figured it out, part of me thinks that God wouldn't require a theology degree to get into heaven so true believers are probably spread across multiple. The other part of me thinks that God can do what he wants and maybe I'm projecting some of my own confused universalist thinking onto the religion.
>>
>>17983653
The idea of "true denomination" is erroneous because it implies only within the bounds of one can the true religion exist. This is compounded by the ambiguity of the word "denomination". However the answer basically is by reference to the holy scriptures which are the word of God and the foundation of religion. From them I am convicted the Reformed tradition is as a whole correct.

None of the denominations are correct. Christ's message is confusingly universal and removed from any of these sects (at least exclusively).
t. ex ortho

>>17983653
There is no correct denomination. Framing the problem as only having a denomination for the solution excludes the right answer, which is to understand which people are the real Israel, the true cross, the body of God, etc.

I was raised in an atheist household but both my parents were from Irish Catholic families. I did a few years of digging in my 20's once I had figured out Jesus was without a doubt real and the apostles died grisly deaths for their beliefs. Then it was figuring out which denomination. Kind of easy to reach it seeing how prots have their pastrixes and LGBTQ+ parades, even after checking out a Lutheran church to see if they weren't all that bad (they were). By then it was just between Orthodox and Catholicism, and so I asked my Orthodox friend and his only rationale was that they we're 'based' and that the Nephilim were 'freakin real bro, they're yetis'. So I pretty much ended up at Catholicism independently. Not to say Catholicism doesn't have it's problems, but it seems the closest to the true church that Jesus had in mind.
>>
>>17983653
historically speaking Orthodox Christianity makes most sense, ever since the 20th century modernist apostasy creeped into absolutely all christian groups, the main genuine/true orthodox old calendarist synods seem to be in the right (be aware of splinters and grifters who identify).
>>
>>17983733
that makes no sense
>>
>>17983738
your friend sounds based and you sound rather effeminate
>>
>>17983653
i don’t think there is an objectively correct one, i think the original church Jesus left us has been fractured with schisms and reformations
the closest to the original is probably either the greek orthodox or catholics but really neither of those is the true original Church™

How so? What part of it doesn't make sense?
>>
>>17983924
Jihad is more an arabic supermacist imperialist impulse disguised as genuine theological belief. It’s subconsciously racial/pagan, the very belief being its own justification. It’s a very weird phenomenon, islam. It’s extremely racial.
The apostles died because of what they heard and what they saw, an not some kind of self justifying pagan belief that serves the survival of the arab race.

Or
>11/12 of the apostles dying in various places across the known world in the most horrific ways, for the sole purpose of trying to save the masses who wanted them killed, and the only one to survive was exiled with threat of death should he ever leave

Yeah they definitely didn't see anything important or noteworthy while with Jesus.

You must be reading from the seerah.

"Objectively" doesn't belong in theology. It's literally faith.

Which do you have faith in? For you, that one is as close to objectively true as possible.

I just applied some basic logic. The early Church had to have the right structure, so which one looks most like it did in the 1st-3rd centuries? It is the one with apostolic succession, the Eucharist as the actual Body and Blood, and that compiled the Bible we are using. The historical evidence is pretty overwhelming if you actually look.
