er... the problem with the quiz is that it forces the reader to choose at times between a wrong answer and a sort-of right answer. Unfortunately, I had to choose some answers that I did not agree with because they were closer to the truth than the others presented. Furthermore, some choices are blatantly incorrect but still better than others, which means that the final score is not really indicative of correctness.

I scored a 32 making me a conservative, but what alarms me is that the progressive and liberal choices are considered to be appropriate within the church. In the progressive end of the spectrum, people set aside the word of God as a means of grace. What I mean is that they look the other way on tattoos or women as pastors, and the "Word" did not change, the Bible still says no tattoos, and no women in leadership for the church. I am eternally thankful that His judgment is set aside for those who are born again, but that is His job to give grace, and not to change the Word.

Since I scored an 84, nobody will be surprised that my response to the survey runs along progressive lines. I found that a number of the questions were phrased in language that is simply foreign to the way I think. This is the language of modernism asking some relatively postmodern questions, which can make for some strange answer sets. For example, I am not comfortable with the set of questions which gave me a set of choices along a spectrum that ranges from "universally and timelessly binding" and "useful in the 1st century but outdated/irrelevant." I'd have been more comfortable with some both/and options like "contains a truth we need to pay attention to, but not understand or try to implement literally." Still, a very interesting exercise, and one which I'll share with fellow clergy and members of the church I pastor.
