The Puritans

Puritans believe that god's intentions are used in human actions. They also believe that because of Adam and Eva's down falls that everyone is born sinful. They also believe that god only saves and do for the people he want or wishes to save and help. They believe that god died for certain people not for everyone. Mostly they believe that god is not for everyone he is someone with high power and people have to earn the power he has to help.

i feel that the people who talked highly and greatly of the sinners was just trying to scare people into doing the right things. I dont at all think god picks the people who he wants to be punished and the ones he wants to save. i feel god lets people choose their own path and what path they choose is what say if their going to heaven or hell. because people have to go thur life and make changes better their life or make it worst or bad either way i just dont think god picks before they even have a change to live life to the fullest.

I feel god someone we look up to and he is the only thing that can judge people. I also feel god looks at people and help them make right chooses and make up for their mistakes or wrong doings. the way edward is talking about god i feel is wrong and he has no right to talk about and make people believe something so wrong just so scare people into doing the right thing. He makes god sound almost as someone evil instead of high good power and a guideness of good.

About the Mayflower story. when they got off the boat they was thanking god for letting them get there safe. Then they notice there was nothing very but land full of trees no houses or roads or markets. Then they stated asking god to help them get started and find away to make a new life on the new land they found. They felt if god help them get to the new land safe that god cause surely help them get a start a make a living there too.

When I think about how the Puritans lived I think like someone who used things around in order to get by and make a living. They took new things and learn from them and learned to use them in their life. Their out look on god to me is very bad. Honestly listen to this makes me think what is god's real meaning behind life. If he gave us all life why would he start us out sinful. The prutians have a strong out look on the reaso of life and when it is taken from you where do you go.

I think that the sermon Edward read to the people did not work because if it did then i think that the poeple would not even want to move and do things because they would be to scared to. i just dont see god letting people fall into hell for trying to do the right thing.

Limited Atonement - Jesus died for the chosen only, not for everyone. Irresistible Grace – God’s grace is freely given, it cannot be earned or denied. Sinners in the hands of an angry God also says that only a certain few are chosen to go into heaven and everyone else is going to hell and that you cannot earn Gods grace.

Total Depravity – through Adam and Eve’s fall, every person is born sinful – concept of Original sin. Sinners in the hands of an angry God also tells us that we are born with sin because of Adam and Eve.
