Look at it this way Rob, it could have listed Joel Osteen on there somewhere.
iseeitdifferently // January 26, 2008 at 1:37 am |
No, he’s under the “Cotton Candy Theologian” category!
Rob, I agree. If I’m such a Martin Luther/anti-catholic theology, then why am I such an Anselm? He was pretty catholic.
And Karl Barth, the neo-orthodox king? I don’t know, I guess he may have actually had some decent things to say but his attack on inerrancy of scripture grates on me.
And where was Arminius? I mean, if you’re gonna have Luther, Calvin, Augustine and all these guys why not have the other slugger in there?
Maybe this guy should improve the quiz a little.

The problem is in the wording of some of the questions. Some of the questions could have kind of double meanings. For instance, does the world need Holy Spirit revival…well if he is here to convict the world of sin, then definitely. But on the other hand most of the world doesn’t have the Holy Spirit, so revival isn’t the prescription for them.

I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. But interesting I took this quiz twicw the first time I scored under Martin Luther. After re-reading the questions more carefully this is what I scored….
Which theologian are you?
You scored as a John Calvin
Much 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.

D’oh!

mbaker // February 5, 2008 at 1:46 am |
Oh, and please let me add, I absolutely do not agree with Barth’s views on the inerrancy of scripture. I believe the Bible is the Living Word, from start to finish, and it is the testimony of God to His people.

I agree with the other people that found it odd to be placed as 80% Calvinist. Personally, I reject most of his teachings and was raised in a Free Will Baptist church (_very_ Arminian). Heck, when I was in high school, my youth pastor nick-named me Jacobus (after Arminius). Oh, well. It was still pretty fun.

iseeitdifferently // February 5, 2008 at 10:54 pm |
I don’t know Sam.
Margaret, Mary: what’s up with you and Barth? Ha!! Yeah, his views on scripture were bunk, but that’s that old German scholarship from the 40’s.
It’s interesting to see how much we agree with so many theologians whom we disagree with so strongly.
And how come Arminius isn’t even in the quiz?
Bias, anyone?
mark jr.
mbaker // February 6, 2008 at 12:08 am |
Yes, I wondered if because so many folks were scoring as Anselm that maybe the author of the quiz was an Anselmic (pun intended).
And certainly you would think that someone who had as much influence over the Christian church as Arminius would definitely be on the list.
I still haven’t figured out after reading up on the 3 men that I scored 100% on, and seeing how differently they believed, how that can happen.
Wow, a Barth Calvinistic Anselm. Better watch out for me, guys!
Mary // February 6, 2008 at 4:47 pm |
I don’t even know who Barth is. AHCH! I ‘m a heretic.

wait,
ha! ha! Mark you are 100% Martin Luther? Your buddy that you like so much? hahahahahahah!
so i took it again and purposely changed my last answer and came out Anselm.
So it seems to pivot with me on: is man’s main problem that he failed to give God what was due Him.
or
one cannot understand the word apart from the revelation of Jesus Christ.
That’s hard to choose between. I guess if you are looking down the barrel of history it would be the first one-failure to render unto God what is due Him.
very interesting. wonder how accurate this quiz was.
Matthew // February 10, 2008 at 5:51 am |
It seems to me that the quiz maker ignored the more controversial/possibly heretical subject matter of some of the theologians and stuck to the more tried and true stuff. For example, if you come out with Barth it doesn’t mean you follow his thoughts on the Bible – since the quiz doesn’t even ask about that – instead it means you strongly agree with his rejection of liberal theology and his emphasis on the revelation of God being based on Jesus Christ. Same with Anselm and his catholic views or Luther and his replacement theology.
I think the quiz maker exercised wisdom in making that decision.
Brandon // February 13, 2008 at 8:00 am |

hmmm. well that was interesting. i mean i like barth ok. but i dont know . i agree with rob some of the questions were to ambiguous. and it set me down to 2 things at the end the revelation of Christ or the sovreingty of God. I am not sure the 2 can be seperated so i went with Christ and got barth.
mbaker // March 16, 2008 at 3:58 pm |
Gc,
Exactly the same thing happened to me. I chose the revelation of Christ, since that’s what our belief hinges upon. Also I noticed that if you were on neutral ground on some of the questions and chose an answer somewhere in the middle that made a difference in who’s camp you wound up in too.

I was reminded of this from Joshua :
13And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries?
14And he said, Nay; but as captain of the host of the LORD am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my Lord unto his servant?
15And the captain of the LORD’s host said unto Joshua, Loose thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Joshua did so.
At the end of the day, all that really matters is found in what the captain of the Lord’s host said to Joshua, I am here from the Lord and I am on His side [paraphrase mine]. The question then should be to us, which side are you on?
As for me and my house, we will serve The Lord !

Brandon // March 19, 2008 at 3:10 am |
err, i guess mark deleted my comment… I see your point and everything, and it’s a good one…
But I honestly wonder why the angel didn’t tell him not to worship him because we’re only suppose to worship, ya know, God and Jesus…
So, I don’t mean to like bash your scripture reference, in all politeness, and humbly… I just wonder…
lbolm // March 19, 2008 at 8:44 pm |
Brandon,
In response to your question, I am posting the commentary from Matthew Henry. I would rather you see it from a more recognized source than from me.
“The Captain of the Lord’s host appears to Joshua”
We read not of any appearance of God’s glory to Joshua till now. There appeared to him one as a man to be noticed. This Man was the Son of God, the eternal Word. Joshua gave him Divine honours: he received them, which a created angel would not have done, and he is called Jehovah, chap. 6:2. To Abraham he appeared as a traveller; to Joshua as a man of war. Christ will be to his people what their faith needs. Christ had his sword drawn, which encouraged Joshua to carry on the war with vigour. Christ’s sword drawn in his hand, denotes how ready he is for the defence and salvation of his people. His sword turns every way. Joshua will know whether he is a friend or a foe. The cause between the Israelites and Canaanites, between Christ and Beelzebub, will not admit of any man’s refusing to take one part or the other, as he may do in worldly contests. Joshua’s inquiry shows an earnest desire to know the will of Christ, and a cheerful readiness and resolution to do it. All true Christians must fight under Christ’s banner, and they will conquer by his presence and assistance.
I hope that answers your question.
Love in Christ Jesus
