Ummmm, where do you get your Texas numbers from on Denominations? Our Labor departmemnt only lists 18,000 sects in the USA. Who counted 1,375 dogmas?

You don’t know that Protestant religion are Catholic? “UNIVERSAL” ** I never said in the “USA” Tony, do some research on your own. I can’t do all the work! Hint: They all came from “Catholic Sources”
And who counts what it takes to be Catholic, or Protestant? Texas measuring tapes different scale than the rest of world?
**Nope, we just ain’t afraid of telling the truth, we have legal gun carry here!
Ifen you be a following the precepts of the Catholic Church you might be a Catholic! If you don’t … isn’t it obvious? **
I’ve heard that the Catholic Church has its own standards on who is Catholic, but does not like to Judge people, except in grave Teaching error situations.
** Actually, Tony, the way it looks the Catholic Church doesn’t judge anyone at all. Now, that isn’t really a bad thing , although I personally wish they would judge Abortionist and “active” Homosexuals and kick them out of our church! But, if they got too picky they probably would kick me out also
!**
I’ve heard that God should judge, not you or even SIA or me.
Well Tony, you heard wrong! Surprised? It is contained in a book called the bible. You don’t seem to have heard much truth have you? I am be a guessing that you must have read even less! But I could be wrong, us texans aren’t as got schooling like you guys with all that book learning! Oh, I was a wondering, could you ever stay within the lines? It is said to be real hard unlessing you have them good crayons! I will a haven to get meself some of those things! freesmileys.org/smileys/laughing024.gif
"“Do not judge, or you too will be judged.” is the verse so many mistakenly use to try in an feeble attempt to shame Christians for discerning poor behavior, ethics, morals, and values: These Hyprocrites who publicly claim to oppose sin while allowing it to continue in the name of Jesus!
But look at that passage in its context: “Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.” MATTHEW 7:1-5
Cearly, it is hypocritical judgment that this Scripture condemns. Now go look at verse 6, and then read verse 13 through15. Did you see that Jesus actually instructed them to make judgments!
In our society of so called “tolerance,” we are often struck with an opposition of people who cry that we have no right to judge them!
http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/angry019.gif God, Himself, gave us that right and we should use it!
A hypocritical judgment is judging someone for something of which you are also guilty. Like lets say - Like your telling me not to judge WHEN you are judging me! This passage means the opposite of what hypocrites often interpret it to mean! Jesus’ point is for hypocrites to pluck the beam of sin out of their own eye so that they can see clearly to cast the mote out of their neighbor’s eye. Also take a look at some other Scriptures…
“Judge not according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment.” JOHN 7:14:
"Yea, and why not even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?"LUKE 12:57
“The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment.” PSALM 37:30
"Open thy mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy."PROVERBS 31:9
“Take heed… If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.”'LUKE 17:3 See If you a being repenting Tony, I will have to be forgiving you! That is the Christian thing to do!
"Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment: thou shalt not respect the person of the poor, nor honour the person of the mighty: but in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbor. Thou shalt not go up and down as a talebearer among thy people: neither shalt thou stand against the blood of thy neighbor: I am the Lord. Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart: thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbor, and not suffer sin upon him."LEVITICUS 19:15-17
“Now, thou son of man, wilt thou judge, wilt thou judge the bloody city? Yea, thou shalt show her all her abominations … The Lord said more over unto me, Son of man, wilt thou judge Aholah and Aholibah? Yea, declare unto them their abominations.” EZEKIEL 22:2 & 23:36:
“Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew My people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.” ISAIAH 58:1
God Bless
John the Baptist preaching, “Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?” MATTHEW 3:2,7
Why is that? Are you from another growth from the real Angelican church like all protestants are counterfeited from the real Catholic church?
