Quiz- What religion are you?

[5stringJeff]

Here were my top 10 (all that I scored at least 50% on).

1. Mainline to Conservative Christian/Protestant (100%)
2. Orthodox Quaker (96%)
3. Eastern Orthodox (95%)
4. Roman Catholic (95%)
5. Seventh Day Adventist (90%)
6. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (76%)
7. Islam (64%)
8. Orthodox Judaism (64%)
9. Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons) (53%)
10. Hinduism (51%)

BTW, I'm with Darin on question #12. My answer would be that faith alone is what saves us, not "[a]dher[ing] strictly to the rites, practices, precepts, commandments, prohibitions, laws, sacraments, or ordinances of the faith to be rewarded after life." Works do not save, faith does. However, since we will all be judged according to our deeds (as Jesus said several times) then I picked the first choice.

Adhere strictly to the rites, practices, precepts, commandments, prohibitions, laws, sacraments, or ordinances of the faith to be rewarded after life.

Christianity isn't about salvation through strict adherence to rites, practices, prohibitions, or laws.

Christianity is about believing Christ served as a complete and final substitutional attonement for MY crimes (sins).

#12 is a bullshit question. I can't select one of those responses.

You pick the closest then give it a "low" priority.

I had no "right" answer for that Question, either.

 

[dmp]

The question illustrates people's misconceptions about God - yes, the church doesn't always do a good-enough job of fixing that misconception.

Not a big surprise at all. Its the same answer i get every time i take that test:

Yeah - I had a problem with that, too. That's the trouble with polls in general, I think; they are more a measure of your closest stand on some preset parameters than a representation of your true, complete feelings on a matter. Makes the entire science problematic, IMHO.

Christianity isn't about salvation through strict adherence to rites, practices, prohibitions, or laws.

If this is true, why are we given the commandment to "repent and sin no more"? Why is repentance of our sins necessary if there is not a personal price to be paid for our deviation from those "rites, practices, prohibitions, or laws"?

Christianity is about believing Christ served as a complete and final substitutional atonement for MY crimes (sins).

In my opinion, here is the benefit we will derive from Christ's atonement: (1) We will be resurrected from death, never to die again. (2) We can be cleansed from all our sins upon personal repentance and a sincere desire/effort on our part to overcome those sins. If we don't "walk the walk" as commanded, we will fall short of what has been offered us though Christ's atonement.

If Christ's death absolves us of any personal accountability, why will there be a Judgment Day when all will be judged according to their acts, words and thoughts and what was actually taking place in their hearts at the time of those actions/words/thoughts?

The above is not intended as a put-down of what you believe. I am just wondering how you arrived at those conclusions.

Whats more is I think the Atonement gives us power to overcome those weaknesses we may have. it gives us the ability to walk the walk. Without it we would only have one choice: Physical and Spiritual death. But because of the Atonement of Jesus Christ man is free to choose good and evil rather than just evil.

What I had trouble with in question 12 was the use of the words "rite, etc." We don't need to obey laws; we need to obey God. Obeying laws is generally a good thing, but performing rites does not save us. God wants our hearts, not our burnt offerings.

But, agreed, if we are going to be in a relationship with Him, we DO have to "walk the walk." Rules are generally good; Self-discipline is necessary. I just don't believe "the walk" is necessarily a proscribed set of rituals.

The list of religions they have is a bit biased. For example there are numerous Christian religions listed separately, but Islam is listed as only one religion. Shinto is not listed at all although it is a distinct religion. From an outsiders perspective the Christian religions have more in common than differences. Some of the things they list are not even religions in my book, such as new age, etc.

All of what you say is true, but you gotta figure they had a "target audience" - for lack of a better term - in mind. A better way of saying it might be that they had some notion of where the people likely to be taking the test might fall on a given scale. Another way still would be, as you say, that perhaps their own biases crept into the calculations.

Unitarian Universalism 100%

I hate surveys, I think they are designed by the devil.

 

[Emmett]

According to my results, ol' Lucifer better get to his Dell and start typing up a resume.

Just Kiddin" - Hey Kathianne, I scored the same as you. 52% Hmmmm!!!!!

 

[Adam's Apple]

Now if we could just get more Christians to also see it that way and stop the silly in-fighting. Look at the results of the people who took this quiz. They could be members of many different denominations because they share a majority of similar beliefs.
