 I don't believe in penal substitution theory. I lean more Christus Victor... 

I think we are all head and no heart, reverence and lack an understanding of sacred spaces. 

I believe in theosis, that God is redeeming all things to Himself. 

I'm a partial preterist... 

The seeming theotokis worship stuff really gets me, although a Catholic once explained it to me in a way that made it seem less problematic and even a little beautiful... 

I still don't understand venerating objects though I have done it twice. That sand and stone video helped. The priest said orthodox believe they are looking at Jesus in an icon, so kissing his feet makes sense I guess. I still have to ponder that some more.. 

I'm sure there's more ways I'm a bad protestant with "bad theology" but taht should do for now 😂😅

 Oops I left out one of my really bad beliefs... I don't believe that we are saved by Grace *alone*. The "sinners prayer" does lots of damage when not followed up properly. To the point where it's probably more dangerous than worthwhile. Though to he fair many protestants will try to unite 'new converts' to a church. 

I don't believe in the woo woo end-times prophetic stuff that some obsess over. 

I believe the Israelites were called to giagantomachi but also that it probably concluded with David. The latter part would also make me a bad orthodox too, I guess.

I'm a pacifist, but Christians of all pursuasions bar some extremes seem to call for war... 

I think I just figured out why people go to confession 🤣🤣 I've never really listed all my "bad" theologies before. That was oddly cathartic. Thanks for reading. 🤣
