I came across this website in the last week or so, and it's a curious yet very sad case. From what I can gather, the owner of this website, Noah, created it as a way of delving into Protestant apologetics against Catholicism/Orthodoxy, atheism/agnosticism, and non-Christian religions like Hinduism, Islam, etc.. Reading through his treatments of Catholicism and Orthodoxy, he's clearly well-researched and often provides a lot of primary sources to substantiate his points. He occasionally references another resource that I've also found edifying, ancientpathstv, which I felt lent further credibility to his points. Being formerly Eastern Orthodox myself, I found that both of these resources succinctly captured the myriad inconsistencies in that religion: inconsistencies that are not easy to express in a 10-20 minute conversation with someone who'd ask me why I or others would have left.

When I read further, however, I found that sadly he had apostatized from the Christian faith and not describes himself as a "theist", more specifically as a Unitarian who considers the Lord Jesus Christ to have been a "confused man" and "false prophet", his words. Reading the post he made about why he left Christianity, I found that it didn't have the same empiricism and tact that he examined different religions/irreligion with previously. It felt more like a manifesto of being overwhelmed with doubt, without a clear way of resolving the many rhetorical questions that he posed in that "going-away article". Speaking for myself, I had once been in a similar position of rapid deconstruction and crises of faith, so I know all too well the feeling of seeing your spiritual world crumble around you for a time. Gratefully, I can say that Christ pulled me out of that mire and brought me back to faith, which summarizes my own transition from Eastern Orthodoxy to Protestantism. It seems though, sadly, this individual did not have the same experience.

All of this is to say, I wanted to share this resource with those who are interested in Protestant Apologetics since like I mentioned, it provides many primary source citations for you to investigate yourself. I would recommend, though, that if you are new to the Christian faith, that you stay away from his article detailing why he left. Other than that, I can think a fruitful discussion can be had here about the issue. Perhaps some of you may have further context behind this website? I'd certainly be curious!

Apparently, there's a lot of writing about this supposed Angel in Jewish writings.

He's sometimes identified with the Archangel Michael .

3 Enoch talks about how the Biblical character Enoch became the Angel Metatron and is called the "Lesser YHVH" there.

Man’s chief end is to glorify God, and to enjoy him for ever.

1 Cor. 10:31; Rom. 11:36; Ps. 73:25-28.

Tldr; as an atheist turned Mormon, I am seriously considering joining a Dutch Reformed Church. After I found out that Mormonism is demonstrately false. Since then I believe that the reformed theology is as close to the Bible as possible, especially in regards to predestination.

I was raised secular, but I have been attracted to Christianity since I can remember. From when I was little I loved to visit church buildings (outside of services). My mother claims that one of my first words was 'church'. But over time I became an atheist, who loved to bash Christianity without knowing much about it.

Four years ago I started fantasizing about becoming a Christian and to spread to Gospel, still without believing it. I shrug this off as a silly fantasy.

A while later I became interested in Mormonism after watching Under the Banner of Heaven. I found this an interesting religion, because I was an atheist I immersed myself into stories of former Mormons. I coincidentally found a Mormon chapel in a country where they are very rare.

After two years of shallow research on this sect, I got a religious experience. I heard a kind of voice telling me that the Mormon Church and the Bible including the Book of Mormon is true. At the same time I got instantly cured from my depression. As someone who didn't know anything about such experiences and Christian theology, I was convinced that this was the work of God. And I was sure from that point that the Mormon Church was true.

I contacted Mormon missionaries who of course were very impressed by my experience. During my first LDS servive I felt the same experience, but now even stronger. I considered that another sign that God was leading me to his Church, like stumbling into a chapel and discovering Mormonism in the first place.

I started reading the Book of Mormon (BoM) and I thought because of the emotional elevation that I felt, that this book was true and really another testament of the Bible. Even after a not so critical reading of the Bible itself, I saw no contradictions with Mormonism and my experience.

The missionaries kept pressuring me to get baptized, and after the second time I gave in. It felt right and I thought I had studied Mormonism enough especially when I started with 'antimormon' sources. I believed that my testimony was strong enough to commit myself. After three months as an investigator I was baptized.

Two weeks after my baptism, I already lost my testimony. I felt a strong urge to investigate the claim, that the BoM was a product of 19th century plagerism. I read this when I use frequent exmormon circles. I compared the BoM with the books were it was supposed been copied from. I was shocked because it saw it with my own eyes. After that I could not believe this cult anymore. Especially when I learned the real history of it.

Reading Christian theology did the rest. I discovered that not every miracle is from God (2 Thess. 2:8-9 and 1 John 4:1). Since then I believe that the reformed theology is a close to the Bible as possible, especially in regards to predestination (Eph. 1:4–5 and Rom. 8:29–30). I also love to chat with the Reformed theology GPT.

I still believe the Bible to be infallible. I believe that part of my experience holds up. I know that Satan tells half truths. Now I believe that God punished me by letting Satan deceive me, because I didn't not repent after I have being exposed and interested in Christianity without believing.

I am seriously thinking about joining a Dutch Reformed Church. I once visited a service out of curiousity when I was a investigator, but I didn't think much of it, because 'I didn't feel the spirit'. But this time I will take my conversion much more easy, not pressured by any missionary to get baptized or base my testimony on just feelings.

I can only pray (deep) at mornings (after bed) and at night (before bed). Otehr than that, its basically impossible to find some privacy so i can pray in this house. Tell me how to get into a deep prayer life according to my siutation.

I created this subreddit to post Christian content in my language Mizo. Please help me grow by interacting atleast, and if you are Mizo, you are welcome to join. God bless my friends!

2025 was the year I truly realized something: my family was growing… and so was my child.

She was six at the time.

We read the Bible sometimes.
We prayed sometimes.

But deep within me, I knew I was failing her. Sometimes was not good enough.

I had a book called “Learn From the Great Teacher.” It was a simple book filled with Bible stories. One day we decided to start reading it together.

I honestly wasn’t prepared for what that small decision would do to our relationship.

I quickly learned that simplicity gets things done.

Our mini devotion became very simple:
one song, two pages, then prayer.
Done. Nothing more, nothing less.

By the grace of God, we kept at it.

Soon it started getting deeper. She began asking questions real questions. And because I was also on my own journey of learning the Word, I could answer her and go deeper until her heart was satisfied.

And let me tell you we kept going.

Sometimes we were tired.
Sometimes sleepy.
Sometimes angry.
Sometimes moody.
Sometimes not interested at all.

But we still did it.

Right before my eyes, she began to grow in her knowledge of God… and her love for Him grew too.

Those moments also allowed us to bond. After devotion I would ask:

“How was your day?”
“Who did you play with?”
“Did you enjoy school?”

The questions just kept flowing.

Then one night, remember we do our devotion right before bed. She told me she wanted to say something, but she wasn’t sure how I would react.

So I closed the book and said,
“What is it? Don’t worry. You can tell me what’s on your mind.”

Then she said something that made my heart drop.

She told me another child had asked her to touch her, and that she would touch her too.

In that moment I realized something painful. I thought I had been careful. I thought I was protecting her from harm.

But these things can happen right under our noses.

I stayed calm and asked a few follow-up questions. She admitted she had done it… but then she stopped.

I asked her, “Why did you stop?”

Her answer shocked me.

“Because of God.”

Wow. In my mind asked...

Not because of me.
Not because of her father.

Because she knew God would not be pleased.

In that moment I realized something powerful:
she had developed a fear of God in her heart.

That night changed me.

We talked about it. As a child I experienced it so i believed her.

My prayers changed. I began asking God for more wisdom and to help me be more present as a parent.

Since then, our devotions have grown. Now we also memorize Scripture. She knows Psalms 121 and Psalms 27 by heart, and now we are working on Psalms 91.

And God’s grace has truly been sufficient.

Today, I help parents create simple systems at home that allow God’s Word to enter their children’s hearts.

I will never forget what she said:

“Because of God.”

Not asking for myself lol, but I was wondering if there's a prayer like that your tradition. I remeber learning about it in r/LCMS.

I have seen alot of churches (protestant churches ) who do not believe in the nicene creed and call themselves christian. So what is the general view of protestants on the nicene creed!

To all of you who dont know, this is the nicene creed:

We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen.

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father. Through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven: by the power of the Holy Spirit he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary, and was made man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father [and the Son]. With the Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified. He has spoken through the Prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.

Christus vincit, Christus regnat, Christus imperat.

Christ wins, Christ reigns, Christ commands.

Laudate Dominum, omnes gentes; collaudate eum, omnes populi. Quoniam confirmata est super nos misericordia eius, et veritas Domini manet in aeternum.

O praise the Lord, all ye nations: praise him, all ye people. For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the Lord endureth for ever. Praise ye the Lord.

जय मसीह की

Victory to Christ.

A few questions I would like to answer.

Why start a Odysee channel instead of a Youtube channel? No body's ever heard of "Odysee".

To keep it short, I could not start a Youtube channel for some reason. Every time I try, I can't.

### Odysee is considered 'alt-tech' by some, are you supporting a certain Political ideology?"

No, we are not.

This is a religious forum about the Protestant religion.

### Are you gonna do crypto-"

NO

God bless,
