Converting and coming back is understandable. Like all cults, Protestants are deceitful with the Bible and use certain passages only. They do not know about or care about the history of Christianity and the Early Fathers of the Church. When I was a Protestant, I never heard about the Early Fathers.
I am on my way to Orthodoxy. Please pray for the Lord to open the door for me so I can get in the Church. Things are blocking my path right now.

Protestants (Evangelicals) tend to ignore the historical context of the Bible and apply certain verses to themselves. They also misuse verses so as to attack other people with those verses, including Eastern Orthodox Christians. You’re right about them rejecting the church fathers, church history, and all the Holy Traditions. They rely on Sola Scriptura (Bible-only). Every Evangelical turns into their own pope so they end up having their own personal interpretation of their Scriptures which is why there’s thousands of denominations.
So what’s “blocking” your path to joining Eastern Orthodoxy?

Just remember, we’ve been there ourselves, and we not only understand – we are here to help.

If we could get the Church Fathers into our municipal and school libraries, Protestantism would be extinct within two or three generations or all but.
