Again like the others I have some problems with your questions. I have read the bible many many times and understand it, I am interested in some of its messages yet I have problems with its many contradictions.
I also have issues with what the church has left OUT of the bible such as the Gospel of St. Thomas (for the New Testament). We must remember that the bible is a collection of stories meant to teach. Each story was chosen to speak to the greatest amount of people. This is why we get 2 creation stories in Genesis. Many others were left out.
I believe Jesus was a man, a teacher and holy. I do not believe he was God incarnate.
Also sin is subjective. There are many contradictions within the bible as to what a sin is and isnt. Also unless you have an encyclopedic knowledge of the Old and New Testaments (as well as the Gospels and books that were left out of the bible) it is probable that you have sinned errantly. Should you still be judged?
These questions were interesting yet had a fundamental bias that may turn people off. Perhaps rather than limit the answers to 4 choices (life and theology are not that simple) you should ask the questions and have open responses?
