Good News: I am not a heretic!

While it seems to be a little tongue in cheek, this little quiz does give you a sense of where you stand. Here’s my results:

You scored as Chalcedon compliant. You are Chalcedon compliant. Congratulations, you're not a heretic. You believe that Jesus is truly God and truly man and like us in every respect, apart from sin.

I guess I'm still a "Fundamentalist", but I noticed that I score pretty high with Pelagianism (the belief in radical free will and the goodness of the natural world) and Nestorianism (the belief that Jesus was not a unified being, both God and man simultaneously). While I do not deny that human beings have complete free will--and, thus responsibility for their actions--I believe that humans are "tainted" with sin. That is not to say that physical mater is, itself, evil. Rather, that people pass on error from generation to generation. To what degree that genetics, family spiritual legacies or cultural environments play a part, I am not sure. Obviously though, I understand Jesus as a single being, who, from the beginning was God and was imparted into physical humanity through some unknown means. He was simultaneously fully human and fully God.
