What do You Believe??

My friends Jeremy and Greg passed this along to me and I had fun with it, so I thought I would share it here.

From my days in Bible College at CIU, through my ordination, and even to now in Seminary at Biblical, I have a love for Biblical theology, but a resistance to what we call systematic theology. I think when I get down to it my ill feeling is related to the false constructs and deductive reasoning that we lay onto the scriptures to come up with some of our systems. I’ll just leave it there for now…

Anyhow, my results came back with a high score on Calvin and Edwards, which I think are right on. I also think that what we know today as “Calvinism” is not the same as what John Calvin wrote about. I’m not sure John Calvin would be a Calvinist of today! BTW, I didn’t realize I had that much Schleiermacher in me and I would have put more Augustine in!

don’t we kind of look the same? :-)

I scored as John CalvinMuch of what is now called Calvinism had more to do with his followers than Calvin himself, and so you may or may not be committed to TULIP, though God’s sovereignty is all important.

Well Brian, I began to try this, but got distracted with one of the other questions once I was at the site. And then I noticed that you can set up your own quiz, and also apparently “skew” the results in whatever way you wish ??? One of my own quizzes would be: Would you rather go to a nice hotel for a weekend, or spend a week out camping – since they both would cost about the same? Anyway, it made me wonder how much education and training the quizzers might or might not have.

Good to be on your blogroll!
I went in and fixed your blog formatting issue today.
Not the Mac’s fault…the culprit is “feedburner” and how it was inserted.
