When Luther translated the Bible into German, he was most certainly taking the "liberal" position, and the AnaBaptists? Forget about it! So far liberal, they needed to be drowned! lonelypilgrim, yeah, it is especially interesting how that has morphed since the Reformation.

The question of reading the Bible being (most conservative answer) the individual's sole responsibility to (most liberal answer) the confessional statement of one's community of faith. In my own denomination (the Southern Baptist Convention) the Conservative/Fundamentalist wing tends to be against individual interpretation of the scripture. While the moderate/liberal wing tends to be in favor of it. So, SBC conservatives would give the more liberal answer to this question and SBC liberals would give the more conservative answer to this question. Interesting stuff. My answer was #3 on that question so I'm a moderate on that however you look at it. I loved question #13 on the quiz.

I had to sort of think outside the box with the number scale. It seems like it might have been created so that each level (conservative, moderate, progressive) would have been scored on its own scale. Yeah, I was wondering that as well.

The one question I have (and maybe it's been answered elsewhere) is why there is a numeric scale at all. I can't be the only person who instinctively thinks bigger numbers, especially when the cap is 100, are better. To me, the quiz is subtly saying we should strive for 100%. Or maybe I just look for conspiracies everywhere. I scored the same as you Travis, 70. The one question I have (and maybe it’s been answered elsewhere) is why there is a numeric scale at all.
