I. Truth and the
Scientific Method:
We believe in One Truth, God's Truth.
And we believe that the scientific method is
humanity's best, currently available way of
successively approximating God's Truth.

II. Jesus Christ:
We also believe in Jesus Christ, because we have either experienced
the Father’s call, or we have received His gifts of faith
and spirit, or we have experienced Christ’s amazing grace,
or we have experienced the blessings of His teachings, or
we have experienced several or all of these things in our
lives.
And we wish to share Christ's teachings, because we believe
they represent the will of the Father and that they will lead
us all to The Kingdom of Heaven.

IV. Biblical Errancy:
However, we also believe that the Holy Bible is of human origin,
consisting of a carefully preserved, yet culturally biased
collection of the historical records of the ancient Israelites,
of Christ's earthly ministry, and of the acts and letters
of the early church.
As a result, we
believe that Biblical inerrancy is a false doctrine that we
find, in fact, contrary to Christ's teachings, and we
believe that this false doctrine is the primary cause of the
unfortunate rift that exists between the beliefs of some of
our fellow Christians and the discoveries of modern science.

V. Non-Judgement and Religious Freedom:
Finally, we believe that many of the mysteries of Christ and the
Bible have never been fully understood, and that neither faith nor
belief can ever be established by creeds.
And so we fully believe in the non-judgment of the
religious beliefs of others, and in the open sharing of our beliefs,
and in the universal self evident rights of freedom of speech and
freedom of religion for all humankind.
