Are You A Heretic ?

Here's a great little quiz that will tell you what you believe and how you stand up to historic Christian doctrine. It is fun to take. You might be surprised by "error" in your thinking.

Take it and let me know the results. I will post my results tomorrow.

You can take the test here.

Too bad i don't know what any of those words mean...but I'm pretty sure it means I'm not a heretic! :) Guess you raised me okay....; 3:12 PM, March 09, 2006

Are these specifically Catholic objections or are they pretty universally rejected by most denominations overall?; 3:52 PM, March 10, 2006

Carlton here. Ok, this is the *worst* than I can be. I figure, if someone misunderstands me then this is the worst heresy balance they will believe I have… hopefully. I had a hard time understanding exactly where the questions were coming from. Eventually I had a pretty good idea, but I decided to be stubborn and picky in my interpretation. Like what I now know to be “modalism”: oh! I am *so* going to comment on that. And Nestorianism? What a joke difference between Chalcedon. But they’re both in the same body. Oh yeah, that helps. The question that got me rolling in laughter off my chair was the one about salvation ultimately ending in escape from *physical reality*! And the question about “at once…” … at once I don’t get it. At once. “Finally”?? It sounded like a test question against Mormonism… testing to see if you think God is *finally* complete. Maybe that’s the one question I still don’t understand. Except the question of being able to obey His commands and the people of the OT being righteous because of that fact… I knew what they wanted to hear and answered in the middle. I am studying that in light of Deut.30:11. Obviously the answer is faith. BUT, faith and obedience have such a close connection. And what came first, the chicken or the egg. (Rhetorical. I know the answer. DO YOU?) And I guess I never distinguished from my more Pelagian days how *exactly* the people of old could not also be said to have been righteous by their *obedience*. Are there more passages to clue one in? I will be looking. Of course, it surprises me that I wasn’t still all Chalcedon. I go to the most Chalcedon church in the known Chalcedon universe … or in physical reality, for that matter. “Matter”: get it?? And who is Eucharist anyway? My personal Mormonism rating is negative 33%, because I believe God can become Man. But that’s just me. Though I probably have some Einsteiniism in me too. Gotta get rid of that.
Moreover. While posting this Adoptionist? Nah, that's not me. I don't know where they got that. Monarchianism? If you're going to be modal, ya gotta go Monarchian. Appolo 33? Whatever.
Furthermore. Seriously glad I took the test. Catcha later.; 11:40 PM, March 10, 2006
Silvertongue said...: This is kind of goofy. I'm pretty theologically anal-retentive, I know exactly what those heresies are, and I know that I don't align with them at all. Yet, I didn't score any better than what I did below. I personally think that there's some precision in phraseology lacking on that quiz (or some of the scripting is wrong).
