Bradstreet Vs Edwards

Evangelicals in the hands of an angry pastor. Human beings feel the need to be consistently right. We exemplify for what we believe, and want everyone to think as we do. That desideratum drove Jonathan Edwards to write his most acclaimed sermon in American history, which I can only describe as the most devious and manipulative exhortation. Edwards shows an unhealthy demand to get his audience to do as he aforementioned.

A very precise word choice keeps the reader’s imagination from being too broad while reading. Anne Bradstreet uses good word choice in “My Dear and Loving Husband” with the “Thy love is such I can no way repay.” (line 15, page 116). Her words mean that she can never thank her husband because he has loved he so much. Jonathan Edwards also uses a precise word choice in “Sinners in the Hands of Angry God”. “Who it may be are at ease, than with many of those who are now in the flames of hell” (Edwards, page 124, line 9).

In chapter seven in the Outsiders Ponyboy talks to Randy about how the Socs and Greasers hate each other and in the end, Ponyboy made Randy feel better of himself. With all that Ponyboy experienced, he knows that everyone has some potential for being good and that Randy would have saved the kids in the church too. Randy mentions that the world hates him, but Ponyboy says that he hates the world and he needs to change that. In the talk with Randy Ponyboy says “So it doesn’t do any good, the fighting and the killing. It doesn’t prove anything.” Beforehand Ponyboy talks about how he is sick of fighting and that fighting won’t make anyone win, this is further proven by the fact that nothing changed after the rumble.

God Gives Us Free Will Jonathan Edwards preaches that if people follow God and obey him they will experience his great mercy. “Sinners in The Hands of an Angry God,” he explains this concept in his sermon. Most people back in 1741 and to this day would be persuaded by his sermon about the Lord because of how passionately and strongly he spoke about his beliefs’. In this sermon Edwards refers to Gods everlasting wrath. He describes Gods anger towards those who do not follow and believe in Him.

The Puritans were a strong unified religious community that centered their lives and their community on a specific set of beliefs. They believed that life was a test and those who passed this test would not only be successful, but also be delivered to holy blessedness all their lives and in the next. On the other hand, those who failed this test would face the consequences of a life damned by the devil. Notably in addition to that belief, they were God’s advocates and God’s law were their political laws. One specific facet of the Puritan belief system discussed in this paper is religious exclusiveness.

So I will thoroughly enjoy dedicating several articles to this topic. However, I am a Christian, so my intention is that I may “destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ.” There is an allure of self-pity, favouritism, envy, and bitterness, which seem so prevalent within the Black Lives Matter movement. To be clear, I am not insinuating that every single supporter of the organization is guilty of these sins. I am merely writing that these sins are rampant within the movement. These sins are easily undiagnosed, but they are deadly.

To revisit the conversations he had with the magistrate will provide insight to his atheistic values. He “... was asking me very earnestly if I believed in God. When I said “No”, he plumped down into his chair indignantly” (The Stranger, 43). The following simply affirms that he is indeed an atheist. For Meursault he does not feel remorse for any of his actions or antics because there is no purpose to life; There will be no judgement or ‘Hell’ for Meursault after death.

Juana is completely controlled by Kino. She has no power or authority to express or conceive any suggestions in any matter. For additional instance, when the priest arrived to congratulate Kino of his great fortune the women around and near the surrounding area bowed and cover their faces in his presence. Furthermore, these actions justify the fact that women in this book are subdued to the reign of men. Although, in some instances women are the foundation for their men when danger or failure is upon them as well as when guidance is greatly

This meant that eventually, all sinners would be punished by God, which could be at any time. Edwards speaks of a wrathfull God, a God who by Puritan standards is considered forgiving for not letting all of humanity fall into the deepest pits of hell. Edwards reminds people that mankind is nothing compared to God and that that all of humankind is guilty and deserves to be punished. This appears similar to Bradstreet’s poem, but there are some

Have ever felt relieved when you worship God in truth and in spirit? Do you feel like a heavy load just fell off your chest? Well, that’s why worship is very valuable to Christians. It is a medium where we give all our troubles to God. He takes it, makes it all good, and then tells us what to do when we meet with him in worship.
