Question

Fundamentalists (and most other Christians) believe Jesus should be imitated because he is God incarnate. Why would Schleiermacher believe he should be imitated?
because he achieved the ultimate religious experience: a feeling of total reliance on God because he is God incarnate
because he was a wise teacher; in fact, he was sent from God to teach humanity
because he learned from other religious traditions besides his own, and was therefore educated enough to teach true religion

How would most Eastern Orthodox believers respond to the idea of merging with Roman Catholics?
They would condemn all Catholics as heretics.
They would welcome the idea and gladly join Catholicism if the pope would let them.
They would show no interest in the idea of submitting to the pope.
They would ask the pope what he thought.

Answer 1

1) Because he achieved the ultimate religious experience: a feeling of total reliance on God.
(For Schleiermacher Jesus is the supreme exemplar of the religious consciousness—absolute dependence on God.)

2) They would show no interest in the idea of submitting to the pope.
(Eastern Orthodoxy rejects papal supremacy and favors conciliar/autocephalous authority, so unity that required submission to the pope is generally unacceptable.)
