Whatever's closest, I guess, if you have nothing more to go on.
It's not unusual to shop for a church, priest, or even particular scheduled service since they can vary a lot in character.
Ryan Sanders
Try either Catholic or Orthodox, they're the best imo
Jonathan Cox
Catholic is the true church. You can go byzantine rite if you want orthodox-like. And you can go anglican use (still in the catholic church but retaining their anglican liturgy) if you want a nice anglo liturgy.
Orthodox are in schism, but they do teach a lot of truths. But they accept divorce and contraception, which is wrong.
The pope isn't a "god" he's just the head bishop. They have masses in English if you donm't want latin (most masses are in english these days) but the latin ones are actually pretty based.
Catholics aren't cucks but Francis is a wishy washy pope makes it seem like it. He's a jesuit, they're weirdos.
Protestants are angsty heretics. I do not recommend you take them seriously.
Wyatt Russell
Go to the most conservative Presbyterian church there
Landon Young
This desu
Nolan Jones
I'm an Anglican, and since you're Canadian that'll probably be the easiest to find. It's basically Catholicism without the pope and with humbler-looking churches.
Connor Cox
Catholics because they'll leave you alone for the most part. If you join a protestant sect they'll keep bothering you about altar calls, are you coming again next week, are you single? Oh you'd look so good with such and such's daughter, why don't you come to bible study later this week, etc etc etc etc
Pentecostals are VERY interested in getting you into their "church".
Lutherans are busy ordaining female priests and marrying gays, so the whole christianity thing just has to wait
Evan Taylor
leaf is right. protestants are heretics that don't care. orthodox is just.. correct protestants Catholics are right. Pope is a jesuit, not outright socialist but certainly talks like one. Latin masses are based. if the music is a choir or chanter(s) with hymnes, you're golden. if the music is a teenager with a guitar or wannabe soft rock band, probably just run. good luck and God bless OP
Levi Foster
Well according to google maps if I ignore all the Churches with Polish/Chinese/Japanese/Vietnamese/Slavic/Korean in their name I am left with:
2x Baptist 2x cucked unitarian-style 1x Catholic
Well looks like I have a couple options at least
Liam Ward
your options are Catholic, op, and that's it. try it out
Parker Gomez
also, Mormons and Jehovah's witnesses are literal actual cults. steer clear. catholic masses people leave you alone
Cameron James
Polish churches are more likely to be Catholic and traditional. Slavic as well, but more likely to be Orthodox. I would say if you want to go Catholic (a good choice imo, but I'm biased) then something more traditional would be for the better.
I would avoid unitarian. I have a cousin who is a unitarian minister and go lesbo-married in one, and she's about as great a person as you could expect a unitarian lesbo to be, but the marriage ceremony gave me the creeps. Just calling it "pagan" wouldn't do justice. It was like some kind of magic witch's hex.
Grayson Gray
Im non denominational imo go baptist or catholic
Alexander Sanders
Hahahhah No. I was raised Quaker/Unitarian. There is a whole fuckton of crazy going on in both of them. I want to go to church for the community and to learn about a less cucked version of the religion, not to be berated for not loving a trans lesbian muslim illegal immigrant enough.
Also wtf why is there Mass multiple times every day? When am I supposed to go?
Easton Taylor
Go walk into a Baptist church on Sunday
First you'll sing like 3 songs, usually modern day hymns. Then the preacher will come out and tell you about the activities at church for the week. Then you'll shake hand and say good morning to everyone around you. Then you'll sing 3 more songs Then you'll sit and listen to the choir sing a song While they sing, they'll pass around the donation plate. Then when they finish, the preacher will ask you to stand and follow along in your Bible as he reads todays passage. Then you'll sit as he explains it and applies it to life. Then stand again for the classic hymns. Then one last prayer Then done. Usually only almost 2 hours long.
Here is my church We record each sermon The singing is cut out
You can go to all of them or just Sunday. Sunday is required. You can also go Saturday night, it counts as Sunday.
But don't take communion until you're baptised as Catholic.
John Cook
If the church has enough attendance to hold multiple masses, then that's a good sign. In general, you can consider it a matter of whatever time is convenient for you.
Often, they will take the opportunity to offer a somewhat different mass for each different time. So maybe one time slot gets the organ lady, a different time slot is geared toward the children, the other time slot has the priest who you think gives good homilies, and that one is in a foreign language. Any one of them is as good as the other to start with, and there might be a sign or a bulletin or something that would tell you if there are intended differences among them.
Jace Morris
2 hours? Sheeeyit.
In the second century the Bishop of Rome (the pope) was writing to the other bishops that their long winded sermons were making masses too long, and that they should keep their sermons short enough for mass to be done in an hour.
Longer sermons were to be reserved for high mass on Sundays for important feasts (easter, etc)
Dylan Long
Like I said we sing 6-9 times Thats a good half hour or more
Asher Jones
You have to go through first holy communion as well before taking communion.
Fortunately for outsiders it seems there are usually in any given mass at least a handful of people who stay in the pews, so it shouldn't feel exclusionary for the curious.
Grayson Butler
Im Southern Baptist and I like it quite a lot. Only "ceremony" type thing is communion, which takes like 15 minutes and happens once a year. The other 99% of the time, its singing and then reading from the bible. A good pastor will make it relatable to modern life and wont just cover the same 3 or 4 subjects over and over again.
Also, visit a Black Baptist church at least once.
Carson Gutierrez

Tyler Clark
why are "Copts" rarely mentioned in denomination validity arguments, i am not one but i am seriously wondering, is it mainly an eastern thing?
Asher Carter
Yeah, they barely exist outside of the desert. I'd bet money the vast majority of Christians here have never even heard of them.
And of course or (((media))) would never mention what's happening to them as compared to poor abdul and mohammed.
Matthew Howard
Orthodox is probably the best choice. BTW, you don't have to be a Slav to be orthodox. There are several Orthodox churches such as Greek Orthodox and Melkites. In some ways Anglicans are also considered Orthodox.
Alexander Martin
Yes, and mainly Egyptians too iirc. There are a few churches in France but yes it's a Middle Eastern thing.
Brody Allen
What are Copt services like? I've been literally all over Canada and US and never seen or heard of one except about them being persecuted in the Middle East.
Jonathan Edwards
Coptic. The church began in AD 42. They've still had quibbles over opinionated details. Nobody's perfect. But we knew that. God Bless.
Alexander James
which orthodox, though. Some orthodox don't get down with other orthodox.
Daniel Walker
So long as you remember that the whole religion meme has already subverted most original teachings that made them great. And if they charge you or somebody else's money for it, somebody is having a living here. I would say it's not something a (((spiritual))) person would do.
That's pretty much why I quit the religious life. Been baptized into Orthodox church as a child in Russia. Was atheist in Israel most of my childhood. At 13, became influenced by Judaism and leaned it. Converted to orthodox Judaism at 20. Lived as a religious kike until 23. Discovered that pretty much all religions are about wealth and power + all honest spiritual messages were already subverted and edited. Now I have a gf and live a secular life. Am agnostic, but don't really care about god or what's out there.
Nathan Rodriguez
I once lived down the road from an Antiochian church, which was the first Orthodox church I've ever been in walking distance of. The attendance was not just average white as it gets, but young, vibrant, and friendly.
I soon noticed that the people who went there usually lived in tidy houses with well-kept yards. Looked like pretty good stuff. They kept the church in good repair, too.
Carter Rogers
No Orthodox Churches get along. That's why you should be orthodox. It's just like Sup Forums if it were a religion.
Luis Taylor
Lutheran Church Canada They're the Canadian version of the Missouri Synod, which except a man believe truly and firmly, he cannot be saved.
Jonathan Cruz
Don't ever join a LEAF religion. Fucking LEAFs will turn you retarded and then you'll be worshipping a giant buttplug in the sky too.
Lincoln Phillips
literally have no idea, what i know about their services is that they use a sort of ancient Coptic language, during the services, they speak Egyptian Arabic like everybody else here during everyday encounters
that language was spoken around here a while ago till Arabic slowly took over, according to wiki
Ian Hernandez
I'll grant the following to the Orthodox. The contentious nature of the relationship between the several autocephalous patriarchs/archbishops creates relatively infertile ground for docrinal innovation. In contrast by the 13th century the Roman Catholics had developed their the Vatical and scholastic theology into an apparatus capable of radically altering the tenets of their religion at any moment. Something like Vatican II would be difficult for the Orthodox to replicate because they would rather do nothing than provoke the other patriarchs to absolutely slam them.
Kayden Allen
Pick any random church, and its preacher is a Mason, so all modern "Christian" denominations are really part of the Freemason Religion.
Jason Scott
>white power handsign
wtf I love the dude on the left now.
Jonathan Robinson
Before you go on about things like the 'development of doctrine,' you might want to read Cardinal Newman's book on the matter so you know what you are talking about. There is a difference between elaboration and contradicting
As far as I know the only members of the ILF that isn't following the lead of another country are the LCMS in the USA and the SELK in Germany. Everyone else is pretty much an overseas affiliate.
Protestant vs. non-Protestant is a false dichotomy.
Confessional Lutheran vs. the hell-bound is the accurate distinction.
Chase Rivera
Catholic or Orthodox if you want to go all the way.
Southern Baptist or conservative Presbyterian if you want to dip your toe in. You'll either go full Catholic or fade away from the faith.
Don't even bother with Lutheran, Episcopal, etc. They're irreparably cucked. Pentacostalism is too anti-intellectual to hold on through what's coming..
Mason Brown
I recommend watching videos on the internet to get an idea of what the bible says before choosing which church to attend. There is a lot of miss information out there for Christianity (Satan is working hard), so study the bible and let the holy spirit guide you.
Illuminati Exposed - Know Your Enemy (Part 1 - Introduction) >youtube.com/watch?v=MLggDBo1wqk I recommend watching all 77 parts. Good Christian videos.
Jaxon Gray

Whatever fills you best. I'm catholic but the new pope it's a fucking faggot cuck I want to kill him so badly.
