Comments on: The sites you (or someone who might seem like they kinda hate you) stumble across… http://natsecorma.net/terje/archives/698 Everything and nothing Wed, 07 Jan 2009 23:04:00 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1-beta By: Steffen http://natsecorma.net/terje/archives/698#comment-5825 Steffen Fri, 28 Nov 2008 23:56:45 +0000 http://natsecorma.net/terje/?p=698#comment-5825 Just came across this while browsing your blog. Interesting test as it gives a view into the various ways of interpret God in the Middle Ages. I'm not at all surprised you ended up as a Pelagian, I had half expected the same result myself being quite fascinated by Pelagius and his teachings, but at least it's good to have Pelagianism on a good second place. You Scored as Chalcedon compliant You are Chalcedon compliant. Congratulations, you're not a heretic. You believe that Jesus is truly God and truly man and like us in every respect, apart from sin.

You seek to retain monotheistic belief but in doing so abandon the idea of a triune God. God exists as the Father only, though he can reveal himself in other ways in a manner similar to modalism.

I do not see the point in Jesus as both God and Man if He's both independently of the other. Seems to me what's attractive about the idea of Jesus' nature has to be the thought of an individual torn between mortal weakness and divine ideal in a way nobody else ever has or will be. If that's the teachings of Monophysitism, then I guess that fits the bill. But this is murky stuff, so, I guess they could hold the exact opposite for all I know.
