Where does the claim of 30,000+ protestant denominations come from and what exactly defines a denomination?

No you failed to say anything of relevance towards your case. Please list these so called 30,000 denominations. I will help you:

1. Lutherans.
2. RCC
Now you only have 29, 998 to go.
Your counting Protestants not Catholics, you've got 39,999 yet to go. The study I cited was 2001, today there are many more beyond the great heretic.

Didn't you accuse me of something?
Yes, cut and paste. And not an accusation. The truth. something I don't think you are aware of.

Don't you want to say something?
I don't but perhaps, since you are claiming I made an accusation, which is proved to be false (see the link), perhaps you do? Yea...I won't hold my breath.

I have eyes. I saw you posted it there. That in no way invalidates you cut and pasted here. Sad you are unwilling to admit it. Says alot about your character.

So, if I originated the post in 2013 how do you know I cut and pasted off that forum? I think it says a lot about my memory.

No they are the first denomination. Give us the list. So you take 1 from 30,000 and you get 39,999. I don't have to make the list you do, as you are the one making the claim. The study you cited is false. List the denominations to prove the claim you made. It is the person who makes the claim who has to prove it.

By the way another RC showing the appalling apologetics teaching in the RCC now. If you make a claim you must prove it. List the 30,000 that you claim there are, I wouldn't bother making the number higher when you cannot name the 30,000. Your study doesn't even list 30,000 denominations either.

All one has to do to see the fighting and divisions is go over to the arminian and calvinist forum its worse than here. They treat each other like enemies, not brothers.
This is a fair observation, albeit not made without prejudice. The battle between Calvanists and Arminiansists has been going on pretty much as long as the battle between protesters and Romanists so there is that. Pointing a finger at another forum doesn't take away from the reality of what transpires on this one and that there is no brotherhood for those who follow Rome and followers of the Way.

The point being made is the unloving hostility between them. The un-Christlike behavior.

I've seen it. It has always confused me why but then such is the hearts of men. If that were not so there would never have been an inquisition and other crimes against those who rebelled against Rom anist power and control, as an example of what youare describing.

All you have to do is read the threads to see the division among the various RC sects, they treat each other like enemies and not brothers.

No you haven't. Then if you have so many volumes that will make your job easy - list the 30,000 otherwise don't mention it again. You posting some so called alleged statistics is meaningless.
