You don't know what a "sect" is, do you.

Of course.

If so, you are destroying every word you stated previously about the Roman Catholic organization being the denomination that Jesus established.
Hardly, since I never once suggested that in founding his historic Church, Jesus Christ was in any way establishing a "denomination."

Post your reference in the NJB where such a "sect" is discussed. (Or do you actually expect me to read the entire NJB looking for your reference?)

Le 20:13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

1 Tim 4:3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.
Seriously? Here you're merely engaging in the Equivocation Fallacy. Christianity began as a Jewish sect. Now, how does this in any way relate to the existence of tens-of-thousands of pseudo-Christian sects which have been invented since the 16th-century Protestant "reformation"? (Hint: none whatsoever.)

That has nothing to do with what I have been saying.
The only sect I belong to is the sect that is mentioned in the NJB version of the Bible.
Are you still claiming that the Roman Catholic has no part of that sect?

Of course not, nor have I made such a claim. The historic Christian Church began as a sect of Judaism, had separated completely from the synogogue by the end of the 1st century, and began to be commonly referred to as "the Catholic Church" right around that time. And that is the Church of which I am a member today.

Well, you are moving closer to the truth that the Roman Catholic sect was not around in 33 CE.
