You never saw a Christian follow any of his teachings.....me thinks you just don't like Christians.

How many different Christian religions are there?

As there are reported to be approximately 41,000 Christian denominations (figure includes overlap between countries), many of which cannot be verified to be significant, only those denominations with Wikipedia articles will be listed in order to ensure that all entries on this list are notable and verifiable.

From a simple google search...
Still not willing to give a list?

And what makes you think this?...

I asked you to elaborate because I'm not sure what you meant. Are you just going to assign motive, or answer the question?

The only Jews that I see that actually follow Judaism are Orthodox Jews. I believe modern Judaism tends to take the Torah as allegorical when it should not be.

I'm sorry for expecting you to actually speak clearly. Google won't tell me what was going through your mind when you said it.

That's a very defensive comment...I am talking about following in his footsteps...I said nothing about his teachings, which were followed by his immediate followers, the lost sheep of the house of Israel...

since you won't define what it means we can only guess what qualifies.

Estimates on the number of Christian martyrs are well into the millions,
one as high as 70 million.

And these interpretations go farther back than Christianity via the Sages...It's not just the backtracking though, if you actually read the Tanakh, you will see glaring differences and then you'd ask yourself "why?", "Why is there a difference?"...If Christianity is supposed to have sprung from Judaism, then why the editing of what the Hebrew Scriptures actually say?...For what pupose?...What's the agenda?...That alone should throw up some red flags...It's not just the interpretation, it's the translations as well...




That's just awsome...
I would find it interesting, I'm sure, but I can't read Hebrew!

Nope...no list anywhere there. You have yet to provide backup to what you claimed, so my only conclusion is that your'e full of hot air.

You provided a few pages suggesting that there are vast numbers of them, but no actual lists. Of course, the claims have been debunked. Not that I expect you to be honest on that.
