LOL!! I guess there are NOT 34,000 christian groups that are HELL-BOUND!! Some of them such as "122 mormon denominations" are "Marginal Christian" groups!! Those Roman Catholic groups are "embarrassing themselves to no end"!!
Thank you for making the point!!!
"After the Protestant groups you have "Independent" groups, followed by "Marginal Christian" groups. But all of these are added into the 33,820 number! Please realize, this includes "Gnostics" (!), Mormons (122 denominations worth!) and Jehovah's Witnesses (228 denominations)! So the serious-minded reader is left with one conclusion: Steve Ray, Tim Staples, and the rest of the Roman Catholic apologetics community that throws the 33,000 number around like a football are embarrassing themselves to no end every time they repeat this myth. Not only is it painfully obvious that sola scriptura is not to blame for this 33,000 number, but in this source, read in its own context, the large portion of those listed in the 33,000 number do not even confess the doctrine, let alone practice it in their theological enunciations and development!" |
