I've seen a few people throw out the bogus claim that there are tens of thousands of "protestant denominations". It varies widely depending on who you ask (or what catholic apologist they heard say it).
Moderator cut: delete. Give me a list please. I want to see a list of the supposed denominations.

Oh for pete's sake . . . this quibbling over numbers is ridiculous as if there aren't a passel of Christian denominations (and non-denominations) and esoteric and orthodox, etc. even if you do NOT count the many Catholic denominations. Here is a partial list for your perusal, Vizio:

Not really, mzlady . . . I am merely witnessing to MY understanding as we are all called to do. God is the only judge of what is right.

So.....let's go folks. Please put up or shut up. Give me a list please. I want to see a list of the supposed denominations.


It's so predictable that it's becoming boring .... when somebody does come up with a supposed list
  1. it doesn't come up to their bloated numbers
  2. a vast number of them don't qualify as "Christian"
as I stated in another post, it comes down to intelligence or integrity.


For example of the proof of questionable intelligence or integrity that the list provides:
  • Lutheran Church of China (no longer in existence)
  • Huguenots (virtually extinct as a modern and distinct group)
  • Socinianism (extinct as a modern and distinct group)
  • Polish Brethren (extinct as a modern and distinct group)
then take away any group the rejects other doctrines that make up basic doctrines that define Christianity i.e. Jesus as God, God is Triune, faith alone \ Grace alone\ the Bible alone .... and you soon realize that whoever created the list has no clue other than feeding propaganda to the gullible so as to justify their existence.

That's why its only a "partial list". And who verified it's accurate?

You and Vizio will nitpick any list because you are convinced there is only one Christianity and that is the one YOU believe in. You are truly the epitome of the "No True Scotsman" fallacy of argumentation. If they acknowledge and claim to follow Christ . . . they are Christian . . . whether or not you agree with what they believe ABOUT Christ. Those who think only THEY possess the truth about Christ are in for a rude awakening upon their death. I look forward to it, my brothers.

According to the 2001 World Christian Encyclopedia published by Oxford University Press counts 33,830 denominations within Christianity. The Study of Global Christianity (CSGC) at Gordon–Conwell Theological Seminary in South Hamilton, Mass., researchers generated their estimates in 2011 based largely on figures provided by Christian denominations and organizations around the world to be about 41,000 worldwide.

In the final analysis, an exact figure is not really that important, nor would I desire to break it down, as all follow the Catholic Church in one form or another: "
They cannot all be right; but they can all be wrong." It’s not a matter of what you believe based on personal feelings and the doctrines of men, which separate you, rather that of whom you believe overall. Apparently, everyone wants their own belief system (B.S.), as "Adversity resides within that great chasm of Religion, which separates humanity."
