Sophia Wannabe Member Registered: 06/02/02 Posts: 454 Loc: Phoenix	Just took the quiz and found out I'm Origen. Does this mean I'm excommunicated as a heretic?

Wondering Member Registered: 08/27/05 Posts: 1407 Loc: USA	Don't worry. We Origens won't know about the excommunication since it will only happen after we die.

Anna Member Registered: 08/03/03 Posts: 362 Loc: USA	I'm also St. Justin Martyr. Just for fun I gave some of the edgier answers just to see what would happen and ended up Tertullian! Also enjoyable was reading the comments on the bottom of the quiz. The one about Joel Osteen was a hoot!

JSMelkiteOrthodoxy Member Registered: 08/18/06 Posts: 2406 Loc: Georgia U.S.	Interesting, I, also, came up as Origen. That's fine with me though; being both a crypto-Platonist and a fan of the Alexandrians Joe

crule Member Registered: 04/11/05 Posts: 143 Loc: The South	Quote: You are St. Melito of Sardis! You have a great love of history and liturgy. You�re attached to the traditions of the ancients, yet you recognize that the old world � great as it was � is passing away. You are loyal to the customs of your family, though you do not hesitate to call family members to account for their sins. Wow! I shall have to read up more on this holy one.

You�re attached to the traditions of the ancients, yet you recognize that the old world � great as it was � is passing away. You are loyal to the customs of your family, though you do not hesitate to call family members to account for their sins. SPDundas Deaf Byzantine

Stephanos I Member Registered: 02/03/02 Posts: 2502 Loc: West Coast	Hello twin brother Cruel. I'm St Melito of Sardis too! You have a great love of history and the liturgy. You're attracted to the traditions of the ancients, yet you recognize that the old world - great as it was - is passing away. You are loyal to the customs of your family, though you do not hesitate to call family members to account for their sins. How so true! it's scary. Stephanos I

andrasi Member Registered: 04/28/06 Posts: 58 Loc: usa	You�re Origen! You do nothing by half-measures. If you�re going to read the Bible, you want to read it in the original languages. If you�re going to teach, you�re going to reach as many souls as possible, through a proliferation of lectures and books. If you�re a guy and you�re going to fight for purity � well, you�d better hide the kitchen shears ??? LOL! Andrasi

Athanasius The L AthanasiusTheLesser Member Registered: 06/29/06 Posts: 1140 Loc: Houston, TX	Dear Alexandr: My guess would be because you like share Tertullian's zeal for the sort of holiness of life that should set the Church apart from the world. There is a joke that Tertullian was so rigourous that he left the Church to become a Montanist, and then when the Montanists were not rigourous enough for him, he left the Montanists and became a Tertullianist. My guess is that had Tertullian not become a schismatic, he would ultimately have been recognized as a saint. Ryan
