Not a heretic
May 18, 2006
Oh no, not me! I was doing some random browsing around the web, a practice I generally try to avoid, and stumbled on an online quiz to determine if I am a heretic. There were about 40 statements about Jesus Christ, and for each statement I was given seven choices for answers, ranging from a simple “I agree” at one extreme to “I disagree” at the other. The statements looked interesting, so I dived in and took the test. To cut to the chase, here is how I scored:
Chalcedon compliant
100% Socinianism
58% Monophysitism
58% Apollanarian
42% Nestorianism
42% Modalism
33% Arianism
25% Adoptionist
0% Docetism
0% Gnosticism
0% Pelagianism
0% Albigensianism
0% Monarchianism
0% Donatism
0% Are you a heretic?

I confess that I haven’t the foggiest idea what many of the various isms mean, but I do know about the Council of Chalcedon in 451 AD, and I’m very glad that I am 100% on board with those old guys.
About a third of the statements were easy for me as an extremely amateur theologian to answer. On the next one-third I sort of understood the question but wasn’t sure, so I marked the middle choice. The rest were fairly easy to disagree with.
There’s a link at the bottom of the test results if you want to take a stab at it.
