to be quite honest and humble about it, I REALLY don't know what all of those names mean. I found some of the questions to be difficult on the quiz because I don't take the eucherist, so how can I agree or disagree whether it matters if the priest is 'pure' or not? I said I didn't think it mattered, because I thought it the takers heart that was what mattered, not the giver. Strange question.
Way back when, in the time of the creeds' formation, that question was important to a lot of Christians.
During one of the persecutions, a lot of bishops and priests fell away. Afterward, some Christians refused to accept their salvation or ministry as ever having been valid: which included the sacraments. So, some people thought they needed to get baptized again, since it "didn't count" the first time.
You, of course, are right, it doesn't matter about the giver's spiritual state, but the spiritual state of him who receives the sacraments in faith. So those people were kicked out, forming the Donatist heretics.
Augustine was big in defending against this, since it was primarily in North Africa.
Heh, now I see the influence Torrey has had on me...I actually understood the quiz:)
For some reason I got a higher Nestorian rating than you Luke. Not quite sure why. I thought I was completely orthodox in all my answers, except one where I wasn't sure.
Eric, I had higher nestorianism than Luke did, too.
What was the question you were confused on? I had a hard time with the Jesus dying question, which ironically was one of our hardest pull questions in Torrey.
I thought it was either the one about whether people in the OT followed all the commandments or whether there is one God who is one person (I read it wrong). But, in retrospect, I think I answered them correctly, so I'm not sure.
Yeah, I remembered that question from Torrey, although for some reason I don't think I did it. I figured it was just his human nature that died on the cross since saying God died is a category error. Death is just permenant seperation of body and soul, and the Divine nature doesn't correspond to having a body. Only human nature does.
On that analysis of death, that's pretty clear, I agree. I suppose that's the right one, although some would take issue with "permanent separation from the body".
I guess *long* seperation from the body, then.
