This test gave me flashbacks to my first seminary course, Christian Anthropology, the first third of which was devoted to the question "What does it mean to be 'human'?" The theory being that it's impossible to meaningfully discuss the degree to which Christ /was/is or is not human unless we first understand what we mean when we say "human."

Taking the test, I realized again that -- despite my love of studying theology -- I found most of these questions to be utterly beside the point where my personal faith and relationship with God is concerned.

I typed another sentence after that, but then deleted it, because 9:30pm is not the time for me to get started on a theological reflection. . . it would be an hour or more before I got to bed.

Maybe tomorrow.

Badly done test.

I got almost the exact same results. I doubt that there were any answeres possible that would actually result in a "Heratic" verdict. As a born again Pagan, I'm vaugely offended by this Jesus freak test. Bla.

Actually, most of my friends have scored as heretics of one kind or another.

As for it being a "Jesus freak test" -- heresy only has meaning from within a particular community. It's meaningless unless one accepts the authority of that community in the first place.
