No such thing, Chip. Afraid to identify the "church?"
----- I just did.
That's fine. It's clear that you're not comfortable posting a statement of faith from that "church." Do they even have a website?
----- I'm not sure if there is a website. But I will tell you the one that it's teachings are closest to: Calvary Chapel of Costa Mesa. They have a website.
You see, Chip, our brethren who've moved away from the Catholic Church have a great unwillingness to be challenged. This is why they hide their doctrine and "theology."
----- There is nothing hidden about true Christian Churches and the Scriptures that they believe in. The RCC knows exactly what they believe. My goodness, ask them. They've been trying to silence them since the 5th century, and with earnest since the Reformation.
We Catholics have ours completely available for the world to see.
----- That's not really true, unless you can see into the minds of your Magisterium.
I find it quite funny that an "evangelical" protestant congregation would be unwilling to share information on their beliefs. If the beliefs are good, accurate and faithful -- they sharing them would bring in more believers, would it not?
----- We share them all the time by encouraging people to receive the Word of God in its simplicity --- to believe the truth according to the Scriptures not the elusive and unseen minds of a magisterium.
You're not identifying a church's identity by saying that it's a "Bible" church. That "affiliation" is simply too vague - and varies greatly depending on the ego, wallet and attitude of the "pastor."
Come on, be honest.
As if we Catholics hide our teachings. The entire catechism of the Catholic Church is available at http://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG0015/_INDEX.HTM - and the approved translation of the Bible for Catholic Americans is located at http://www.usccb.org/nab/bible/ -- all right out in the open.
Your obvious fear of the Catholic church is at the same time amusing and disturbing.
