This isn’t a debate, but it’s sort of related to witnessing?
Anyhow, I had to share this, it’s silliest quiz ever (with some education at the end to top it off): Which Early Christian Heresy Are You?
Well, I’ll be. I’m a Pelagianist.
Antinomianism. It’s a fair cop.
Docetism.
That quiz was considerably more amusing than it really ought to be.
I got Monophysitism which should come as no surprise to those who really know me.
Monophysitism here too, but I made a big mistake by answering question #8 as “Fascicle 7” when it’s obvious that “Fascicle 6” is far superior. :smack:
I was pegged as Pelagian, but in reality I consider myself only Semi-pelagian. I think I messed up the question about the obscure Scandinavian composers.
I made it to the question about Proust and just gave up. Could… not… continue…
Apostate.
Sabellianism.
An excellent quiz. I have never heard of Sabellius, but I always liked Finlandia.
Monophysite, but I already knew that.
I am Arianism!
Apparently, I’m the first to be Arianism.
ETA: …OK, second’s still pretty cool.
Pelagianist…which is funny, because I’ve actually been called that before.
Pelagianism for me!
I know it’s primarily done for humor, but I’d like to know how the questions correlate to the test result. I wish they had a page explaining the point-value system and how it was determined, or whatever the methodology is. A couple of the questions (like the obscure Scandinavian composer or your favorite Fascicle) clearly add an element of randomness to the results for 99.9% of the responders.
You are Pelagianism!
Well, duh.
Oooh. Montanism.
To really have fun playing along, I actually tried to properly reason out my responses, nonsensical though they may be.
My result:
Docetism
You are Docetism!
Docetism (literally, “to seem-ism”) is the belief that Christ only seemed to be human and that his physical body was an illusion. Because he did not possess a physical body, Jesus’s death on the cross could not really have taken place, and his apparent suffering was also illusory. Another variety of docetism held that Jesus was a normal human being but that Christ was an immaterial spirit who entered his body at his baptism, gave him the power to perform supernatural acts, and then abandoned him prior to the crucifixion, perhaps by switching bodies with Simon of Cyrene. Docetist Christology was criticized by a number of early Christian theologians, and was definitively condemned by the Council of Nicaea.
I hadn’t read about that in a LONG time…
