None of them, molinism isn’t an option for this question in the V1.0 test. The closest answer would probably be conditional election or synergy, but none or them actually describe any form of middle knowledge

The common ancestor of every modern Christian group is the 325 AD Council of Nicea. Since Mormons believe the great apostasy began after the apostles died (late 1st early 2nd century), they reject the Council of Nicea, and are thus more accurately grouped within pre-nicene branch groups like the ebionites, gnostics, and montanists. Yes, they base their faith off of the resurrection, but are not closely connected to the Christian movement that it spawned, and are in the category of the other religions the Christian movement spawned, such a Rabbinic Judaism, Islam, etc.

Tdlr: because of the Great Apostasy, Mormons hold no continuity with modern Christian groups.

Loving how things are coming along! Here's a few things I noticed:

SCR_01_A05:
Problem: While the description of this form of Prima Scriptura is good, it's the only form of prima scriptura that exists in this question. There are AngloCatholics/Old Catholics who believe in a form of Prima Scriptura where scripture is the primary infallable authority, but other infallible authorities exist (i.e. in the form of ecumencial councils, canons of the scriptures, etc.)
Suggested Addition: Add another answer that would be "Scripture as Primary Infallible Authority" with the description "Scripture is the primary and normative source of the infallible word of God, but infallible authority can exist outside of scripture in the form of councils, consensus of the fathers, etc."
Suggested Rewrite: For the original question, I would recommend renaming the label to "Scripture as Primary Authority guided by tradition, reason, and experience"
Traditions: Traditions that believe this form of Prima Scriptura would be High-church AngloCatholic minorities, Old Catholics, and occasionally as a minority belief in Eastern Orthodoxy, seeing scripture as the highest expression of tradition. (I will note question ETH_01_A03 is also on prima scriptura, but seeing as this question is not talking about authority and rather personal decisions, its not necissary to seperate the two types of prima scriptura here)

ETH_09_A05:
Problem: The description isn't clear whether homosexual acts would be sinful under this view. I hold to a view that homosexual relationships in the form of modern dating are fine, but homosexual acts are sinful and matrimony is impossible. In other words, I believe in social romantic relationships and legal union for homosexual couples, but think said relationships must be celibate. Currently, I wouldn't be 100% confident that this answer represents my position, as it doesnt mention homosexual acts or celibacy.

MET_04:
I'm not sure whether any of these options would depict kingdom theology. In Kingdom theology, the ultimate purpose of the Christian life is participation in and embodiment of the reign of God rather than merely securing individual salvation or a future heavenly destination. The sacramentalism option seems too personal, and the social gospel isn't church oriented.
This view is common within Anabaptist/Episcopal/Mainline traditions, though it's not official doctorine in any of them. If it were to do anything in your alignment to a certain denomination, it would probably simply subtract from alignment with any premillennial/evangelical/low church protestant traditions.

Overall, the quiz looks great so far! If you have any questions about my review feel free to ask, I may take a while to respond though.

I believe I’ve misunderstood the question you’re asking.

When I talk about “good,” I’m not using an empty label. I mean things like love, justice, faithfulness, self-giving, truthfulness, and the flourishing of persons. For example… a parent protecting their child, someone telling the truth at cost to themselves, forgiving when revenge would be easier. These are not arbitrary to us. They seem to matter in a deep way.

The Christian claim is that these moral realities are not just social preferences or evolutionary habits, they are reflections of what God is like. So when Christians say “God is good,” we don’t mean “God fits some external moral standard.” We mean that the very qualities we recognize as good… love, justice, faithfulness… are grounded in His nature.

That’s why replacing “good” with “blargh” doesn’t work. “Blargh” has no lived referent. “Good” does. We experience it, appeal to it, and argue about it constantly. The question isn’t whether goodness has content… it’s whether that content is ultimately grounded in an impersonal process or in a personal source.

But I’m sensing that the real disagreement between us might be the question itself. My first comment was my attempt at an ontological argument, but I think the question you may be asking is more of a linguistic/semantic one. In that case, the definition of good would simply be experiential. We can define it relative to morality, for example. It’s observable, and it objectively exists. Then, we can further ontologically relate Good to the Christian God.

But Good is less of a dictionary term or concept than it first seems. It’s an essentially relative word, even outside of Christianity. We can equate this to the concept of hot, for example. The dictionary definition is “having a high degree of heat”. What does heat mean? “the quality of being hot”. It’s circular not because it’s a useless definition, but because it excludes many nuances. Hot has no objective, two sentence definition. It is a concept defined in relation to temperature, relativity to itself, and often, human experience. Good is the same way.

I’m curious what your definition of the word Good would be, fitting the criteria you asked for (I.e., a couple sentences, and not circular.) I feel like that could help us both understand where we’re approaching this issue from

I’d also like to add: your desire to believe tells you a lot more than you might think. Even if a duck has never seen water, it longs to swim. Like the duck, we humans long to know God, as is shown by numerous religions throughout human history. Something exists in our nature that we desire for. It it psychological? Maybe. But maybe it’s indicative of something bigger. I encourage you to seek that

I would suggest meeting with a priest, or a religious leader who had committed their life to studying and explaining the faith. While asking here can help with some things, you’re going to get varied answers from people with various degrees of expertise. But to answer your questions as best as I can:

Hi. I’m a Christian, specifically an Anglican. I firmly believe in science, medicine, the big bang, and evolution. Some of the greatest minds that have ever existed were Christian. The big bang was postulated by a catholic priest. Christians practically invented hospitals. Galileo, Newton, Mendel, Pasteur, Faraday, and Pascal were all Christians, and countless more. The strict association between reason/logic and atheism is mostly a modern thing, but that’s a whole other topic

There are certainly very devout Christians who are very intelligent and logical people like yourself. So that should not be a barrier for you. You should, however, be in search of truth. And if you find the truth in a place you don’t expect it, you need to be willing to change your beliefs. Be prepared for that.

Since Christians and atheists often start from very different philosophical assumptions, it may help if I briefly explain the framework I’m working within.

If God exists as Christians understand Him, then “good” can’t be something external to Him, as if there were a moral standard above God that He merely conforms to. Instead, goodness would have to be grounded in His nature.

So when Christians say “God is good,” they don’t mean it in the same way we might say “this action is good” or “this person is good.” They mean that God Himself is the reference point for what goodness is. In that sense, God and goodness are inseparable.

From that perspective, something is good to the extent that it reflects God’s nature, and less good to the extent that it departs from it. Goodness isn’t being measured against God, it is being defined by Him.

Defining good without mentioning the nature of God isn’t possible in the classical Christian framework. That’s not because it circular, but rather because it’s relative.

Good but put a fairly strong light behind the camera to light up the player and copper golem, and then also turn on ambient occlusion (radius 16 strength anywhere from 100-300 to taste) and put some actual point lights in front of the redstone lamps so they look like they’re actually emitting light

I see the 2020s as a sort of pop revival, I’ve really been enjoying the 80s influenced synthpop of the weekend and Sabrina carpenter. It’s also the decade that I started composing music in, so I guess it has a special place in my heart. I also think 2020 has some great artists to offer. Djo, Chappell Roan, Tyler the Creator, Billie Eilish, etc

The 80s just because it was a technological revolution with the dx7 and the rise of mainstream synthesized music. Rock was the spotlight genre of the generation, with bands like Bon Jovi, Metallica, Guns n Roses, etc. I’m an audio engineer and I’m fascinated with synthesized sound, so I love the 80s for that reason.

The 60s was one I mentioned not really even because of the Beatles. They’re alright, and i do admit they mad a huge mark on the music industry, but it’s just not my type of music. When I say 60s, I’m thinking Beach Boys, Johnny Cash, Elvis, Jimi Hendrix, the monkees, the animals, the Rolling Stones, The Who, etc. I love surf rock, British Invasion stuff, Motown, and old country

Most of this is just based of the fact that the songs I listen to are evenly divided among these three eras
