What’s your religion quiz

[Silver Pie]

So true.

Most of the questions didn’t match LDS doctrine. At least not if you believe in the teachings of Joseph Smith and the early leaders.

[Silver Pie]

I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one who couldn't answer all of the questions according to how I really believe. To be more correct, it needed to have something like 120+ questions, and more choices (and "other" ought to open up a box to type in so they can look at the results and see how to improve the test in the future) - but that's only if they are serious about giving a realistic test and/or studying the responses. If it's just a way to cause traffic to flow to their site, then it's good enough as it stands.

I got liberal Quaker this is interesting because I was educated in a liberal Quaker high school. I guess more of it wore off on me than I thought.

I find it interesting that there was only one level of LDS but two conservative and liberal of Quakers.

[Arenera]

TBM, but not a Democrat.

[Silver Pie]

TBM, but not a Democrat.

I'm surprised I didn't get a higher score in the LDS religion, but they didn't ask enough LDS-specific questions imo.

... Well I got Hindu.

??? Did you click you believe in worshiping God ,The Son, Holy Ghost...as 3 distinct beings?

Don't remember. I know I clicked one about having more than one mortal life.

Do you believe that?(about worshiping The Father, Son, HG as 3 distinct beings)

Yes I do. I actually have a hard time with people who teach the doctrine as if they are trying to convince Catholics. I prefer to approach it from the Norse angle.

Norse angle?

Yep! As in, Thor, Odin, Loki, etc. I believe there is more truth than we think in Norse/Viking mythology. I also believe there were many righteous and faithful people who were of that heritage, without a Catholic background. We usually approach people as if they were protestant or Catholic, but I would rather ignore the Great and Abominable and view things from a much less apostate perspective. I would rather speak as if I am addressing Gnostics or Vikings or Greeks. When we make our big emphasis on the Trinity and allow debate as to whether they are 1 or 3, we miss so much greater things.

Personally I think there is a group called the "Elohim" and our Father is just one of those. I believe he and the other Elohim are level 8. I believe Jesus was a level 6 until he completed the Atonement and rose to a level 7 as Christ. I believe we will have a couple of great men from this world grow from a 5 to a 6. It could be just one or it could be as many as 7. I'm not clear on that point yet. An interesting idea to I bet Alaris has looked into that point more.

I am beginning to see how it could be that the Holy Ghost could be a level 6, and could become a Savior to another world after this probation ends. It's something to ponder. But it could explain how the Savior grew to such a great high level before even being born (as a 6?).

Again, these are things to ponder. I believe the 144,000 are level 4's, I believe most faithful members of the church are level 3. A level 2 would most likely be someone who is just trying to figure out right and wrong, and they would only be accountable for the light and knowledge they have been given. Perhaps becoming "born again", or "accepting Christ" would be the height of their life as a 2. They would then come back as a level 3, with the increased knowledge, experience, but also responsibility.

I see the levels as corresponding to the 8 booths in the initiatory. Booths 1-4 from the initiatory and booths 5-8 from the second annointing.

I believe 1 also symbolizes and literally means the premortal world, or the spirits living in the millenium of a world nearing the end of its 7,000 year probation. I believe our millenial experience as mortals and translated beings will be the premortal experience of spirits who will then descend to other telestial worlds to be tried as level 2s, or second-estate beings. After the initial mortal trial, I believe we come again with a more specific purpose as 3rd estate beings. After completing the 3rd estate, we become Just Men and Women Made Perfect, and can come down again to the earth with even more specific and important responsibilities and missions. I believe the dispensation heads, namely Adam, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Joseph Smith are level 5 or 5th estate beings. I have not diligently sought for confirmation on the specifics of this theory, so I can't say I know it to be so. I do know several people who are level 4 who are alive right now.

Why does this work and why is this different from what people believe about reincarnation? Well, because we are always the same gender and we are always human. Also, we do not come back to try again and try again. We come back if we have completed our mission successfully and have grown and are ready to take on another and greater mission. It is not try again until we get it right. It is take another step and rise to a new height (and descend below more?)

So when someone gets hung up on whether or not there are three Gods, I think, why can't we be talking about bigger and better things? Yes, there are three Gods that pertain to us specifically- the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. But it is a progression. I believe we will be required to fill all three of those roles at some point in our eternal progression. It is different for women, of course. The Father has a father, and a grandfather, and a great-grandfather, etc. Christ is the Son of the Father. Adam is the Son of the Father as well, right? But at what point do we begin to create our own spirit children? What if we are all spirit children of Adam and Eve, as well as their mortal children? What if Adam is the son of Christ? What if Adam is the son of the Holy Ghost? What if the Holy Ghost is the son of Christ? It isn't spelled out clearly.

We are told we are Children of God. Brigham Young taught that many things we are told are about as true as the stork bringing children to parents. Those who are interested in these things are most likely further along in their progression, level 4s? 3s? Those who want nothing to do with these teachings are probably just a level down, level 3s, 2s?

If there is only one path to godhood, exactly how does one become a God? How does one go from barely being able to take care of themselves to being able to take care of a large family? How does one grow to be able to take on the responsibility of prophet of a whole church, or head of a dispensation? Adam was a father of a world. Christ was the Savior of many worlds.

So my beliefs do not always align with what you will hear in Sunday School. I enjoy pondering these things. It brings me joy every time I receive a new insight. I do not believe it would be beneficial for everyone to ponder on these things. It might be overwhelming.

I read a paper( like 12 years ago when I was 18) about Christ going to His other sheep to the North. He set up 12 leaders, 2 were men named Will and Way, another Berserk. It was cool stuff. Also, Christ took 3 wives and His bloodline runs through those people. I wouldn't be surprised if it was true.

No doubt the Northern Tribes of the Old World are of the
10Lost Tribes .

I don't believe in MMP, but....I been wrong before .

That has been a fascinating topic for me. I don't remember where I was reading it, but I'm sure it could be Googled. That is, the geneaology of Christ. I remember it being something about how his two daughters married one a prince of English and one a prince of French people, of course they would have been Saxons or Anglos and Normans or something like that. Basically it was that all the royalty of Medieval times were descendants of Christ. I believe Joseph Smith was a descendant of Christ and I think all those pioneers who left Europe and traveled to America were as well. If I ever get around to it I could find some of the sources. One talks about Mary and Mary and Martha and Joseph of Arimathea with their children being cast off to sea in a boat and arriving near France then moving on to England. It is a fascinating subject indeed. Its been a little while since I looked into it so I'm not very fresh.

I'm sure the Norse people fit in there somewhere as well.

Jehova's Witness: 92%. Nothing else was above Roman Catholic's 80%.

Atheism: 9%? Where did that 9% come from?
Taoism: 4%, below new age's 9%. That's weird.
