YIKES! How did Schleiermacher come out so high!?! Better go back and reread Calvin.....

You scored as Karl Barth. The daddy of 20th Century theology. You perceive liberal theology to be a disaster and so you insist that the revelation of Christ, not human experience, should be the starting point for all theology.

John Calvin

You scored as Anselm. Anselm is the outstanding theologian of the medieval period.He sees man's primary problem as having failed to render unto God what we owe him, so God becomes man in Christ and gives God what he is due. You should read 'Cur Deus Homo?'

I actually miss Gene Scott. His wife sure seems daffy, but he could be pretty solid when he wanted to be. I even enjoyed all those wild diagrams.

Dear Right,
That’s all wrong!
It’s not possible to be Finney AND Calvin.
See how silly.
Nice to make your acquaintance.

Can I be Finney and the part of Calvin when he was in a less liberal mood?

You know, who says Barth is the "daddy of 20th century theology" anyway?

I don't believe he's any more prominent or correct than Van Til or Warfield. In fact, I wouldn't even put his evasion in the same category as Van Til and Warfield and Machen, etc.

VAN TIL: "Total depravity. That means the whole glass is poisoned. It's not as poisoned as it could be, but it's all poisoned. The faculties of soul are all turned against God by nature. All are poisoned by sin. Wherever there is evidence of God, which is everywhere, man will deny it. You see, God must reach down and save dead men in their trespasses and sins. You do not heal a dead man. You resurrect him. Man is not sick, not drowning, but dead. Dead is dead. You can't throw him a rope. A dead man can't grab anything. Your mother is dead without Christ. Your culture is dead without Christ. This is the problem with Karl Barth, there's no space-and-time redemption by Christ. There's no change of the unbeliever to believer. There's no challenge to the natural man. That's why Barth is poison. Water and sulfuric acid look the same, right? If you drink sulfuric acid, it will kill you. Barth has placed sulfuric acid in our water bottles and told us it is water. Barth has created the systematically most satanic philosophy ever devised by the mind of man. Salvation is like cleaning a bad tooth. It's no good if your dentist tells you your tooth is okay when it's rotten. The dentist has to go down, drill out the decay and replace it with gold. This is what salvation is."

I agree. Clearly there was a Barth bias going on, which reminds me of an article in Time magazine a couple of years ago proclaiming Stanley Hauerwas the most influencial and important theologian in America. Those of us familiar with Duke's School of Divinity and Hauerwas , had to shake our heads and laugh at the silliness of that article.

Van Til: "Man is not sick, not drowning, but dead."

Not much of a theologian, but isn't there something Jesus said about coming "to heal the sick"?

"And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;

Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:

Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.

But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,

Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)

And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:

That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

Not of works, lest any man should boast.

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them." -- Ephesians 2:1-10

"...for whatsoever is not of faith is sin." -- Romans 14:23

"As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:

There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.

They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one." -- Romans 3:10-12

Oh my, Right,
You surely want to be Calvin, and Finney only when he was asleep.!!!

I see you scored 27% Finney. That means we're tied on that one. :-)

But so far I am the only freeper to score 100% Calvin.
