Stating the Church (Catechesis Any1?)



Everyone sins a little, but most people are good by nature.


This is one of the questions posed by Ligonier on the "State of Theology" survey by self-identified Evangelicals in 2018.  As for what is an evangelical I'd recommend Martin Lloyd-Jones' book:


Happily, a full 94% agree with this statement ...

There is one true God in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.

Incredibly 73% say that Jesus is a created being‼  Has the term "evangelical" lost its meaning?

Here are the results for this statement:

Even the smallest sin deserves eternal damnation.


What is the solution?  Catechisms and confessions.  Luther's catechism is helpful (menu @ top right).  Also, the Heidelberg confession.  Spurgeon's catechism is quite good.  What do you think is the cure for Low Theology Evangelicals?
