I feel like I'm not as traditional as the test makes me out to be.

It has a lot of limitations, and feels like it's mostly to just the bigger branches of Christianity. I joke about it shooting me down into the far bottom left quadrant but I think that's because a lot of the questions I felt like didn't have great answers or didn't have answers that I felt super convicted in. I'm a nerd for Christian history especially the Early Church as well as being into Christian mysticism and western esoteric shit in general, and those aren't represented at all since it aligns you with the most popular branches of Christianity.
Which makes sense, if not you'd have a billion subdivisions and offshoots people have made over the years. AFAICT there's no restorationist churches listed besides Mennonite and I guess Quakers? I was technically raised in a restorationist church since I was baptized RLDS/Community of Christ from living with my grandparents, as my parents didn't go to church at all. For the orthobros/catholics RLDS is an offshoot from the Mormons that decided "magic underwear and having 20 wives is retarded after Joseph Smith died and moved from Utah to Missouri, and then decided to become Protestantism, but also using the Doctrine & Covenants sometimes oh and also women can be in the priesthood and have been since like the early 80s." EXTRA heretical I know!

I don't attend anymore, but being raised in an environment like that is probably why I'm attracted to more woowoo mystical aspects of Christianity (not gnosticism though, that's too looney even for me) but I do have a lot of respect for Catholic/Ortho/and Protestant traditions.

woowoo mystical aspects of Christianity (not gnosticism though

Hesychasm is a big aspect to the Orthodox Church. There's also things like phronema and nous. There's a lot more mystical traditions and aspects, but these are the big ones.

I almost forgot about the big one Theosis.

That’s impossible. You’re too nice.

You're right. I need to start being smug and superior and autistically bringing up the Transcendental Argument for God every chance I get. That's how He wants to make disciples of all nations, right?

“Checkmate” would be a good addition to your vocabulary to start. You also need to go to the gym to get big muscles and then flex every 10 seconds when you debate someone.

you are not?

I'm not American or Baptist, both of which I'd have thought were pretty well-established.

I feel like the majority of the guys who do this are midwits localized entirely on xitter. TAG can be used by any christian group, but because Jay Dyer brought it to popularity, so many try to copy him (and fail).

Edit: TAG comes from Kant (Lutheran) in works like Critique of Pure Reason.

Calling Kant a Lutheran is a stretch. Yeah, sure, his family was, but there was really not much about his personal beliefs that was Lutheran.

How do you react if you're in a liquor store and you recognize someone from church or, God forbid, the pastor? If you avoid them, you're a Baptist. If you improvise a disguise, you're a Southern Baptist.

I say that because you sound baptist-ish

Calling Kant a Lutheran is a stretch

he was raised as a pietist, a branch of lutheranism that aimed to reform (ironic) lutheranism against the orthodox (ironic) lutherans. Ultimately he became: at worst a theist; at best he continue being a pietist

 

[Cassius Crayfish]

Reformed theology is not owned by Baptists. In fact, many Bappos are not reformed. I'm pretty sure I've talked about the baptism of infants before as well, which is rather famously not Bapist.

with the recent anglican fake bishopess in the vatican, the question resurfeces: can femoids be deacons, priests, and bishops?

resurfeces: can femoids

Just like the say Jesus wasn't a White man.

Didn't Judas have to identify Christ to the authorities, implying Christ didn't really stand out among the others who were with Him?

48 Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he: hold him fast.

49 And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, master; and kissed him.

 

[marlimar]

Why do you betray The Son of Man with a kiss?

 

[24nagging]

women can not be priests or bishops
sadly I don't think we have an unironic anglican in here that would argue this with me
