The test reflects current fad "issues" in today's church. What about such skipped-over passages as the high priest had to be clean in order to pass capital punishment and throw the first stone; that was the real context of Jesus confronting the accusers of adultery. And war? Every war Israel fought without God's direct command to do it was lost. Obedience vs. sacrifice. I've never heard 2 Chronicles 20 preached or taught on. Jesus never commended soldiers for their soldiering, only for having accepted the Jewish One God. Soldiers were commanded to do violence to no man. Early Christians were martyred for this. Where does that leave our militaristic culture today? Where is the mandate for capital punishment in Gen. 9:5-6? Nowhere was Noah or anyone else charged to kill a murderer. Jesus said Moses made concessions to man’s hardness of heart, but not according to God’s heart. Only His is the right of life and death. We presume too much on God's Word. We pick and choose. He calls it sin.

The test was worthwhile, although some questions were framed with a rather prolix interrogatory. Nonetheless, it was helpful simply to compel focus and reflection on issues perhaps not faced definitively and head-on by the reader. Even the frustrating lack of simplicity in some questions forced longer and more thoughtful self-examination before answering.

I was glad that the question on "washing feet" included a possible answer "can be expressed in other ways today." Well, I enjoyed taking the quiz, but I thought some questions were probably better than others at developing a consistent picture.
