I was moderate, which is expected for anyone who knows the truth of God's word more than most!

I scored 53 (moderate), and while I struggled over some of the answers, I believe that overall, the test was really good. The key for me is the socio-historical context - From several of the introductions to Paul's letters we can see that some women were clearly leaders within the early church, yet in his first letter to the Corinthians, we see that some women were apparently disrupting the services. I've found that without taking the context into consideration, there appear to be inconsisencies and contradictions in the Bible. (e.g. stoning for adultery vs. showing grace).

McKnight forces you into stereotypes without any choice for what the truly "correct" answer might be. In some cases, the "best choice" was not a biblical choice, but there was no response for "none of the above." The quiz also reveals McKnight's own lack of understanding on several issues. As one example, he fails to recognize the Sabbath was, is, and always will be the Seventh Day, as given to the Jews. However, it was not and is not required for Gentile believers, whom Scripture records meeting on the First Day to commemorate the resurrection and New Life - New Covenant. The two are not to be confused, and his choices also do not consider conscience of the believer (Rom 14:5).
