Eastern Orthodox 100%
Lutheran Church Missouri Synod 100%
Roman Catholic 100% So how can I be 100% Roman Catholic if I did not agree that authority is vested in one person or a group of people?
Yeah that quiz seems badly designed... They need to add a couple of more questions to distinguish better between EO and RC. For example: 1. Do you agree that the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father and from the Son? 2. Do you believe in Purgatory? 3. Do you agree with playing instrumental music, such as organ music, during Church services? Thanks for the replies and information. "stanley123's" questions 1 & 2 would make the difference, I know this reply by "stanley123" was written seriously, and is a serious question, but question 1 made me laugh. However, being in the GOAA, question "3" might not necessarily distinguish the Eastern Orthodox from Roman Catholics, not that I don't understand it to be a canonical matter. 6. In making the sign of the cross, the righthand touches the left shoulder first, and the right shoulder after that. Dude, the sign of the cross is not a matter of Faith, it's a matter of Practice. Besides, WRO and OO both do the sign of the cross from left to right. Correct. It is just a question to be added to the others. In Yugoslavia, when they wanted to see who was RC and who was EO, they would ask the boys to make the sign of the cross. That gave them their answer. You're still forgetting that some canonical EO cross themselves from Left to Right. And of course, there are some Catholics (Eastern Catholics) who cross themselves from right to left. So that one question is not sufficient by itself to distinguish EO from RC in 100% of the time. Which is exactly my point... Of course, some answers could distinguish WRO from EO or Byzantine Catholics from RC. But if you object, we could always throw out the question. |

In the WR forum there's a thread saying most WRiters cross themselves in the same way as the Byzantines, which I believe is the pre-schism method. |

I'll retake it when I'm at a laptop. I just did it on my iPad so I couldn't adjust the bars on importance. I'm curious to see how that affects my results.
Did you retake it? Did it change the results significantly? |

I was curious to see what my results would be given that on a good chunk of the questions I marked "no preference," since I am still working a lot of my beliefs out. I guess my first result makes sense. I know a lot of Episcopalians who aren't sure what exactly they believe.

Helena was rather a patchwork-theosophist. If at the time when Blavatsky lived, would exist such accessible and rich informations about different religious traditions, she would be perhaps also a classical New Ager. |

Is anyone surprised? - Episcopal/Anglican Church (100%)
- Evangelical Lutheran Church (100%)
- Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod (89%)
- Methodist/Wesleyan Church (78%)
EO was 8th at 56%, RC was 11th at the same percentage. I'm happy to see that I got 15% or less on Mormonism, Liberal Quakerism, JWs, UU, and Unity Church. |

I wouldn't exactly call myself a New Ager though. I suppose it's the closest thing on the list. But isn't Helena Blavatsky (on your profil picture) a leading name in the New Age Movement? Helena was rather a patchwork-theosophist. If at the time when Blavatsky lived, would exist such accessible and rich informations about different religious traditions, she would be perhaps also a classical New Ager. Well, she is often referred to as the mother of New Age, but the modern movement postdates her. Theosophy, which Blavatsky taught, is the belief that there exists an esoteric spiritual core to the various religions of the world (though it has become distorted in some more than others) that was taught by the likes of Jesus, Buddha, Plato, Pythagoras, etc. New Age, on the other hand, is more or less an amalgamation of Blavatsky's contributions with various other writers (of course New Age is very diverse, so some forms may be more devoted to a particular source). I suppose it would not be entirely inaccurate to call Theosophy New Age, so long as it was distinguished from some of the modern practices/beliefs that go under that name. I say this not to disparage the New Age movement (which I believe has a lot to contribute to the world), but that many Theosophists will distance themselves from its more superstitious and dangerous manifestations. |

I say this not to disparage the New Age movement (which I believe has a lot to contribute to the world), Are you kidding me?  . I know so many people (and myself) who were destroyed by New Age, especially mentally, but also physically. And so many who converted from New Age/Theosophy to the living Christ and there's hardly a vice versa tendency. New Age and Theosophy are dead philosophies, because among other things you cannot find any models or rather saints there. It's mind-worshipping. You worship your own "glorious" subjective ideas of life and "God"/truth. It's pride. There's no humility. It's a patchwork-truth. Please forgive me that I write so bold against it. I wouldn't do it, If I weren't a former New Ager. |

Do you see any positive qualities to the New Age movements? I cannot find any positive qualities, which the christian or rather orthodox belief hasn't already. For the most people the New Age Movement or Theosophy is easy accessibly, because you can, in an individual way, take from the various religions what you need and New Age/Theosophy doesn't condemn all other religions and denominations theoretically(!), but they give you a harmonic religious system, that "there exists an esoteric spiritual core to the various religions of the world." But when you're a New Ager you're becoming more and more proud, thinking that you're spritual higher than other people. Sure, this can also happen when you're an orthodox christian, but much less. |

I wouldn't do it, If I weren't a former New Ager. People have been "destroyed" in nearly every sect and religion. It entirely depends on the mindset and the aspirations of the individual in question. The biggest problem with New Age is the arrogance and self-indulgence of many of its practitioners. Many (but certainly not all) New Agers are self-centered (in the bad way) and use (or attempt to use) the occult for their own end and for self-satisfaction. This is evil and it will ultimately destroy a man. It is nothing short of black magic and spiritual sorcery. Every religion is as flawed as its practitioners, so the New Age is no different. Theosophy is, in this respect, the complete opposite. Theosophists devote (or should devote) themselves to altruism, humility, love, etc. For a Theosophist, the occult (if it is to be used at all) must never be used for selfish reasons, but only for benefit of those in need and for the betterment of humanity. Theosophy, like the occult, is esoteric. It is not our goal to make of the world a great number of Theosophists. The various religions of the world have assisted mankind and will continue to do so as they evolve alongside their practitioners. Theosophy is also not "mind-worshiping". If anything, it is the worship of the divine Spirit that is in and is every human being, every atom, and indeed everything that is. Theosophy is about recognizing that everything shares in divinity - to this end, love and brotherhood have no higher manifestations than self-sacrifice. Just out of curiosity, how many Theosophists have you met? Have you met enough to claim that there are no "role models/saints"? |
