Seventh-day Adventist 100% Surprise, surprise.

Thanks, HoneyDew...I enjoyed that.

 

[HoneyDew]

Great. I enjoyed it too.

 

[StormyOne]

I know you said its not a requirement to share but I will anyway cause I think the results were interesting.... my views are similar to these three types.....

Orthodox Quaker (I have no idea what they believe)
Reformed Judaism (no clue about them either)
Seventh day Adventists (now this one I know....)

It was interesting to note that number 9 on my list was Conservative Christian/Protestant and number 10 on the list was Liberal Christian/Protestant.....

Also in my top 10 were Liberal Quakers and Islam.... interesting indeed....lol

It means either you are a good combination of beliefs or you are hopelessly mixed up.....LOL

 

[HoneyDew]

LOL When I did mine years ago, I was very much put out (to the great delight of my sis) but it opened up my eyes to what makes me similar with other humans of faith.

 

[amiel]

#1 for me was othodox quaker too.... never heard of them

 

[SnowBird77]

I can tell you mine. I am a spiritual humanist. That is the only true reflection of a connection with the divine. He made us all human, so humanism comes from Him. What a pity that some have tried to pass that off as belonging to the devil.

Belief in Deity
There is a Trinity of the Father (God), the Son (Christ), and the Holy Spirit that comprises one God Almighty. God is personal and incorporeal.

• Incarnations
Jesus Christ is God's only incarnation. God is manifest within all as the light. Jesus possessed the light to the highest degree and is "the Light" within.

• Origin of Universe and Life
The most orthodox Quakers hold to the authority of the Bible, and the book of Genesis--that God created all in less than seven days and less that 10,000 years ago. But many would maintain that a biblical "day" is not a literal 24 hours.

• After Death
Most orthodox Quakers believe in direct reward and punishment, heaven and hell, the second coming of Christ, and resurrection of the dead (similar to conservative Christian view).

• Why Evil?
Some Orthodox Quakers adhere to similar beliefs as conservative Christians--belief in original sin and Satan. Many believe that lack of awareness of God's divine light within, or rebellion against it, is the cause of wrongdoing, and that alienation from God leaves one vulnerable to temptation or Satan.

• Salvation
Some Friends (the formal name of the group) churches include rites of baptism and communion, but sacraments to God are most often considered to arise from inward experiences, a personal encounter with God, rather than church ritual. Salvation is found internally through union with Christ, the divine Light within all. Many Quaker churches, e.g. evangelical, believe similarly to Conservative Protestant, that salvation is a free gift from God, with faith, independent of good works. Yet moral behavior and good works are viewed as essential to showing faith and obedience to God. Good works, such as humanitarian service, social justice, and peace efforts, are an expression of Christian love. Simplicity and humility are viewed as essential to living a Christian life.

• Undeserved Suffering
The most orthodox Quakers maintain that Satan causes suffering. Suffering is allowed by God as part of His divine will and plan. Quakers focus on reducing human suffering, especially that caused by social injustice or violence.

• Contemporary Issues
Social-betterment programs and nonviolence are fundamental to Quakerism. Some Orthodox Quaker churches are very accepting of homosexuality, and others condemn it as contrary to God's will.

Quakers also believe, correctly I may add, that work is worship.

hmmm... I'm not sure why it said that I'm a orthodox quaker then, from my answers to the questions... I don't agree with their view of the state of the dead.
