A Progressive "Outed?"
I took the Scott McKnight hermeneutics quiz, and they told me I'm a progressive. I scored a 67 out of 100, and progressives fall between 66-100. Hmmm.
Shoot me now.

Wow, i had no idea you were more liberal than me (57). I'm glad i wasn't mentored by you for more than i was, or i would have been in danger of backsliding, and losing my salvation (read: sarcasm).
Also, was your last line permission, or an invitation?
Blessings brother.
At least I scored the coveted 'Conservative' with my score of 43. I'm not sure I appreciate some of the questions. Some of them seem to neglect the whole idea of Christ fulfilling the Mosaic law.

Derek -- Definitely an invitation. Maybe I should be praying, "God, take me home before I go liberal." It must be these crazy Missourians corrupting me.
Curtis -- The quiz seemed well-thought-out, but things like this are always problematic. If I didn't like the way the "conservative" answer was worded, I tended to move toward a more flexible answer. Perhaps anyone, conservative or not, who resists being put in one of the boxes offered may very well come out "progressive."
83. But some of the questions, like the one regarding women and Timothy, had no appealing answer to me. I wear my progressiveness proudly. As a wise bumper sticker once said, "Jesus was a liberal."
Joel -- of course, my comments about being liberal are all in good fun. As Seinfeld would say, "Not that there's anything wrong with that!"
Chirs - I took them in the manner intended. I was well aware of my leanings before taking the quiz. It's funny to read people poke at progressive/liberal stances. The community to which I belong typically pokes at the conservatives. I had almost forgotten the poking is bi-directional. Not that there's anything wrong with that, either.
