I Am Not a Heretic
The following quiz took more thought than most as you decide which statements agree with your understanding of the Christian faith. Your answers are then compared against the work of the Council of Chalcedon in 451, which created a very important formulation of faith found in the historic documents section of our Book of Common Prayer. I think I got a 100% by giving all my answers as either completely agree or completely disagree.
My adoptionist tendencies would mean that I leaned toward statements that make it seem like Jesus was a man who was adopted by God to be God's son. I don't believe that, so I guess I didn't read the statements closely enough. As for Nestorianism, the orthodox version is that Jesus was one person who was both fully human and fully divine, while Nestorius taught that there were two persons within the one Christ—one divine, the other human. Frankly, that seems like theological hairsplitting to me, but Nestorius writings were not accepted as orthodox (correct belief) at Chalcedon.
