What each Christian denomination LOOKS like

I’ve seen a non denominational church that looks like a Pizza Hut

Medieval churches were meant to express the grandeur of God, not the Church. The statues of saints were meant to remind people of the saints’ example and intercession.

As a Catholic, the way I see it, churches should always be beautiful because the salvation in Jesus is beautiful—and this is what I feel for almost every church of Catholicism that I find

What?! A reference to nondenominational churches without calling them "Basically Baptists"?! Is this even Redeemed Zoomer anymore?! 🤣

Honestly I thought you were gonna say Quaker churches have an empty aesthetic because Quakers don’t exist anymore 😭

In my opinion, a lot of non-denom churches skip straight over “not stuck in the past” and land firmly in “emulating a watered-down form of popular culture” territory. No disrespect to them, but going into a non-denom church sometimes evokes feelings of trying to fit in with the popular kids in high school.

Don't reduce catholic architecture to gothic and barroque. We also have dark and gloomy romanic churches and majestic renaissance churches.

The octagonal shape for Wesley is because we're here to give the devil a beat down! SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY!

Living in the south, you could probably paste the image for Pentecostal onto all the other denominations.

An important thing to mention is that not all Pentecostal churches look like that it’s a large spectrum considering how much diversity is involved in the denomination

Have an amazing Easter everyone!

I sincerely love that moment of feeling awestruck when I enter church. I love being bombarded with beauty & especially iconography. It’s not distracting, it inspires quiet reflection on the individual lives of early founders of our faith who were once real people with unique legacies just like us. I don’t feel “small”, I feel at peace & humble :)

You know it's actually sad that the trademark byzantine arquitecture of churches which is based on the Hagia Sophia is actually associated with mosques

I'm so happy to be a Catholic. We have so many different architectural styles. Gothic, Baroque, Byzantine, Romanesque, along with the more humble Churches and Monasteries.

I just got home from mass in a church built around 1100. The church is like a mix between catholic and Lutheran, with it being largely simple but still has pictures and icons. Love how I was just admiring the architecture and now come home to see this video

Nice video. As a Catholic I must say Saints have nothing to do with authority. They are examples, they are helpers, they are venerated. We pray for them and they pray for us. But they are not authoritative, they are family.

I wouldn't say Pentecostalism is "all about" or centered around experience, feelings or atmosphere. I have been to many Pentecostal churches and this haven't been true for any one of them. Sure, there are some examples of "emotionalism" in quite many churches, but this does not represent the movement as a whole. Pentecostalism is all about letting the Spirit work freely and not rejecting God's continuing work through Himself and through us through the Spirit, it is a movement centered around mission, not emotions. Many Pentecostal churches sings hymns and are not at all concerned with lights or upbeat music. If you would have said it is "generally" like this, then I would have let it slide, but you put it forth as a fact.

Im Slovak Catholic Baptized in Greek Catholic Church. But I currently attend a Roman Catholic church

For anyone wondering why people don't build beautiful churches anymore, it's mostly because most of society today is completely irreligious, forcing dedicated Christians to build their own independent houses of worship which of course aren't going to receive any funds except what the congregation can save up together.
