OK, 2 and 8 are my sticking points. The Bible, though inspired by God, was written, translated, re-translated and nit-picked over by MEN. You only have to look at the contradictory versions of the Bible readily available in any Christian book store today.
Any errors (and I know there are errors, any reasoning child of God has to be honest enough to admit that) are the result of those men, not of God.
It doesn't change the Truth contained in the Bible.
When I bump into something that doesn't seem right I ask God to help me figure it out. Somehow He has always managed to provide me an answer that satisfies me. That has never included any input from Jimmy Swaggert, either.
Let the flames commence.

" Anyone else find question #5 to be ambiguously worded?" "By Grace through Faith are you saved." Grace means He gave it to you as a free gift.

My answers are "No" to 3 questions and "Sure, I suppose, if you insist on putting it that way" to 5.
What do I win?

Biblical teachings are accurate.
Our human understanding isn't always so.

I don't see how you can deny those three things about Christ and still have a biblical worldview. You can as a Jew.

OK, this is why I find the ques ambiguous.
If all of our sins are absolved and forgiven then why do good?
Now I'm not implying that our sins won't, or can't, be forgiven but the indiviidual also must strive to live a life according to how God intended us or that person will not find salvation.

without getting into a flame war I would be interested in knowing why you gave the answers you gave.

Hmmmmmmmmmm..........very curious as to how you believe Satan is real, if you don't believe the Bible is true.....
Where did you get your belief in the Evil One apart from Scripture and God's revelation about his existence?

"Anyone else find question #5 to be ambiguously worded?"Not at all.
Isn't salvation a gift?
Regardless of how "good" we are, we are ALL still sinners -- thus we have "earned" nothing.
To: Mr. Silverback
Consider, however, that the Catholic is not being asked in THIS survey NOT if he/she has a Christian worldview, but if he/she fits a BIBLICAL worldview.
Sorry....Error, my 4th line. Should read: ****Consider, however, that the Catholic is not being asked in THIS survey NOT if he/she has a Christian worldview, but if he/she fits a BIBLICAL worldview. ****

We do good because of our salvation, not to earn it.
Salvation is a gift, unearned.

Hmmmm. I'm Catholic and I missed how #2 is designed to exclude us. I would say Yes to #2. Maybe I'm missing something. I'm a rabid conservative Catholic. (For lack of a better mental picture)
To: anniegetyourgun
Remember, just because one stands in a garage doesn't mean one is a car. Agree. Let me just say I am NOT trying to make anything a Protestant vs. Catholic thing. Jesus knows His own, and their are plenty of us on both sides of the house.
