I personally believe we need MORE of people like fwdude who deigns to tell the truth. We have watered down God’s truth to the point most don’t even know what it is. I see him as a beacon in the darkness.
agree fully.
Actually, I do worry about you, your family and your children. Anyone, like you, that shows zero humility, zero kindness and zero lovingness, shows no fruit at all. You are not at all Christ like. You really are about showing off how pious you are, not unlike the Pharisees. Sanctimonious, self-righteous is all you are. The people that you showed rudeness to on this thread are too kind to respond like you did; however, I’m not bashful in calling you out. I pity the church that ends up with someone like you.

Personally I have enough problems that could make me hell bound with out going to a Church that tells me just to count beads or be baptized or eat the bread and every thing will be fine.

Indeed. Loyal FReeper and unabashed Patriot fwdude seeks the truth and abhors error. That's vital to both Christianity and Conservatism. I'll add, of course, that any taint of liberalism in a "church" is an instant disqualification and sniffing out traces of leftism narrows down the available choices.
One metric that I have found very useful is to investigate the congregation's stance on guns. If the church building has a "Gun Free Zone" sign, it can be instantly crossed off the list. Find out the preacher's stance on firearms and also the views of the deacons and elders. If they don't fully support the Second Amendment, they're liberals. Flee quickly from such a gathering purporting to be a fellowship of Christians!
Getting back to my original response to your post and the invite I gave you to check out the RCIA program at anyone of the parishes in the FTW area: My challenge to you to bring your best arguments to them was not for the purpose of wasting your time arguing...... it was so that you would see for yourself that most of your arguments against Catholicism are not based on the truths of Catholic doctrine and the teachings of the Church. The fact of the matter is you would find everything you said you were looking for in your original post, with the exception of avoiding all things based in Rome. I believe it is simply pride which causes you to bristle at the thought of learning and coming to believe in teachings you have been calling a heresy for many years of your adult life. You might end up like one of these guys:

The reality is that mooseslimes worship and serve satan. And mohammed was a proven pedophile as well as an illiterate savage.
So teaching error on purpose is OK if it might keep people under Muslim control safe? C’mon man!
No weasel phrase as to the statement "together with us they adore the one, merciful God". And that "profess" is simply the Catholic Churches acknowledgement that the Muslims serve the same God. To the Catholic Church to profess something means they believe it.
We searched for a bible-based church in FW for about a year, asking the Lord where he wanted us. He led us to Calvary Chapel.

Its been our church home for about a year. Ive never heard anything out of line with the Bible. Pastor Bill Quinn is from FW. They also KDKR FM 91.3. Praying He leads you to your church home soon.
I’m thinkin’ Calvary Chapel it is :)
Unfortunately Cow Town is now a sanctuary city in Tolerant County.
All cities in Texas are liberal cesspools. The only good places left are the far-flung exurbs and rural areas. Even Plano, a suburb of Dallas, has gone hard left and promotes th sodomite agenda. You have to be at least 50 miles away from a city to be among good Christian (and Jewish) Patriots. Austin, Dallas, El Paso, Ft. Worth, Houston and San Antonio are just Detroit with warmer temperatures.
Calvary Chapel is a good option indeed. It’s most important, though, that God reveals to fwdude the best church for him, amen? He has a plan that’s always the best for us :)
Our family, we thrive at Calvary. We have the gift of missions so our walk in the congregation is fully alive for us.
We’re ready to move out of FW to a surrounding rural area. In thinking in the vicinity of Azle because of my job, but I’m not from Texas and not too familiar with anything outside of FW. I’ve been soliciting advice of the locals. Any suggestions?
Sounds like you you need to start your own. Seems common enough, all you need is a bible and a storefront.
