  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Just out of curiousity, how do the EO answer #6?

"Christ gave us the opportunity to be saved, and it is up to us to accept this gift."

I put you down everyone as agree, except for Lutheranism.

I voted Agree (I think strongly, but at least mid-importance (or whatever the radio buttons were called))

Could you call it "Orthodoxy" unless you're trying to distinguish it from Oriental Orthodoxy? Frankly, I'd prefer the term "Christianity", but there's only so much I can realistically hope for.

There's one thing I don't like about this test: it's the first time on any such test I've had Catholicism come out above Lutheranism. Even after experimenting with every single value of Q6! I think you should fiddle with the rankings until that's fixed.

Never mind! After drastically changing the way I intoned my voice while reading the questions, I was able to reinterpret them enough to have Lutheranism beat RCism, making my rankings EO, Lutheranism, RCC, Liberalist, Reformed, Etc.

No problemo.

If I was going to give one view that name, you can guess by my icon which that would be. :D

Oblio got Lutheranism above RC. :scratch:

I'm not really trying to make any one group closer to the other, but if you think that some of my questions might be skewed, you can go to this thread and voice your opinions :) : http://www.christianforums.com/t725398

You've got to be the first Orthodox guy who's trying to get Lutheranism as their 2 option :D :p

Amazingly, Lutheran was my number 1! ;)

3.) Orthodoxy
4.) Pietism-Fundamentalism
5.) Pietism-Moderate
6.) Roman Catholocism
7.) Pietism-Liberal

Lotar, to make your selector different from others I've seen there, maybe you could add something about views on original sin.
