The Puritans

Task One :


Basically from what I heard and read, everyone is a sinner according to the puritans. Only the saints are saved and everyone else is going to hell. You could go to a school to be a saint including Harvard which was one of the first saint’s schools. The only reason everyone is a sinner is because Adam and eve and everyone is from Adam eve so god is mad and showing his wrath.

Task Two:

It seemed to me that the people lived in fear and were afraid to speak for themselves. They also thought that it was no other way to get in good with god. unless you were a saint. John Edwards was a saint that wrote the hands of an angry god, which basically stated that god was going to send everyone to hell. he would unleash his wrath upon the people that sinned, but according to him everyone was a sinner. I think that Jesus did die for everyone, but the Puritans didn't. I disagree to everything he was saying about god. My reasons for that are because if god really thought everyone was a sinner he could of all just washed or burned us away. I believe That God is good and forgiving because if he wasn't why would there be a Heaven. To Me Johnathon Edwards was a stubborn fool that had his own meaning about the word of god but he really should have just kept them to his self.

Task Three:
Unconditional Election: 'If God Should Withdraw his hand it would be to keep you from falling, and if god should let you go you would sink because of your wickedness"

Perseverance of the "saints: "God hand has held you up and there is nothing more to be given why you have not gone to hell since u have sat here in the face of god with your wickedness and him drop you into hell."
