Honestly--I think a label such as "conservative" vs "progressive" are cultural labels more than they are accurate assessments of varied Biblical exegesis. For instance, I was graded as conservative but my beliefs on the role of women in the church was considered "progressive". I don't base that belief on a cultural progression or the women's liberation movement but on the transcendent, inerrant scripture in Galatians that announced the equality of genders, races, and those under different socioeconomic status.

There are portions of the Bible that were meant figuratively or are parables but on major issues such as homosexuality, adultery, etc. we cannot change the interpretation of the Bible just because culture has changed.

An interesting quiz. It pegged me where most people would probably do, although I disagree. However, I also recognize my stance as highly unusual. For conventional views it is quite likely reasonably accurate.
