Calvinism because if you're going to accept the foundational arguments of Christianity, they're the ones who took it all to its correct logical conclusion.
God would not condemn anyone to hell from their birth. There is not one set timeline that God oversees, God has knowledge of every single path you can take at any single time, as well as knowledge of what will happen as the result of every single choice you make, but this doesn't mean that you can't make that choice of your own accord.

The Lord does not force himself on anyone and humbled himself to the point of death. Calvinism is an extremely misguided theological position which takes none of the above into consideration.

See this is the wordplay that goes on when discussing this. Yes, at the end of the day, God chooses to create a being that he knows will end up in Hell, for eternity. You can dance around this for as long as you want, but you just end up saying God isn't totally in control at some point.

This simple thing alone (Eternal Conscious Torment/ECT) is already an infinitely unjust act unless viewed through the lens of Calvinism, which says yes, God did do that, of course God did that, and thats a perfectly just thing to do to that particular soul. If you're saying God didn't do that, then you're also saying God isn't one or more of omnipotent or omniscient.

The problem is a perfectly loving God would never do that. Especially not a perfectly loving and forgiving one. So pick your poison. Are you going to disregard the vast majority of church teaching, doctrine, and history, and say universalism is the answer? (you probably should tbh, but the more traaaaaaaad churches will get very pissed at you for disagreeing with their doctrines) Are you going to disregard one or more foundational Christian concepts of divinity and say one or more attributes of God aren't really there or are limited? Is God not all loving/all forgiving? In which case you run into the raw unjustness of ECT.

I don't have this problem because I am not Christian - I don't see divinity the same way as you. To me, the Christian concepts of divinity and afterlife are very schizoid and dis-regulated. Typical of jewish concepts. But Christians who rag on Calvinists and call them demonic are straight up wrong. Its all endless beating around the bush of "nuh uh! My God would never do that!" when in fact, the foundations of Christianity depend on your God doing exactly that.
 
Calvinism is Christianity taken to its most autistic version and thus perfect by definition. Actual Calvinists are driven purely by scripture and autism which makes them infinitely more bearable than the various flavors of mystics and feelings-driven opinions in other denominations. The Dutch Protestant Church is cucked though.
 
Everyone already knows that Anabaptists are the most based denomination. Of course I'm not living up to their reputation because I'm not one, that's how you know that this opinion has no bias from in-group preference.
 
I was baptized Catholic and have remained so for all of my life, I fall in love with it again and again even though I am sinner. The Catholic Church will always be my home

There's only 2. What jesus preached, and everyone else.

Those who are not protestant like jesus was, are against Him. And those who are against Him end up as blood spatters on His robes (isiah 9)

And that's why jesus called you vipers (matthew 12 34) You value the trappings and false authority you brought to yourselves, over God. Jesus should be your home. If a pagan snake cult is your home...jesus won't be happy

Like jesus said, you have your reward here. The gold and the man made kings and thrones. When jesus takes His throne, you will be serving us

You are literally Jewish.

Your opinion is Jewish, your view on Jesus is Jewish, your religion is Jewish, your name is Jewish, your account is Jewish, the way you type is Jewish, and your profile picture is Jewish

And that's because you are literally a Jew.
 
Most of the factions seem incredibly cucked.

Mormons at least have the audacity to believe in their own nonsense. I would have never thought I would see the day, but they seem to believe in Christianity more than most of the other more popular denominations.
 
Using process of elimination:
  • I left Catholicism (Mary idolatry) around 12 years ago, not going back
  • Don't know much about Eastern Orthodox, and no pun intended, I don't want to play Russian Roulette with my eternity
  • I have no interest in merging Christianity with paganism, so Gnosticism is out
  • I am against the idea of "once saved always saved", so that eliminates all Calvinist denominations, including most Baptist churches
  • I know next to nothing about Lutheranism, so apply the same idea with Eastern Orthodox
  • Methodist is embracing very liberal politics in their theology and have been for a long time, so that's out
  • I disagree with a lot of Pentecostal practices, so that's out
So that leaves Nondenominational or Wesleyan. I have been attending a Wesleyan church for the past year after being backslidden for eight years, however what gives me some pause about officially joining them is they are in favor of women pastors - from what I know about them, I otherwise agree with everything else. This church in question is the only church close enough to my home where it is close enough to my own religious views, pretty much every nondenominational church around me has something wrong with it one way or another.
 
I'm a baptist, so I'm biased towards them, but I have nothing but respect towards the Catholics and Orthodox Christians.
Same. I was saved at a Baptist Church but seeing what goes on at the SBC and really lessened my view of the denomination. Also learned that it is an entirely normal thing for churches to try and steal each other's preachers blew my mind and pisses me off. Gave me a newfound respect for more organized faiths
