What kept sinners from falling into hell is that we all believed what Jesus Christ has done for us, which was He died on the cross to save us from sin. Our identities used to be "sinners", but if you believe in Christ and what He has done for us, we are identified as "in Christ." Through that, we want to live to glorify Him daily. The Blood of Christ was shed for us. He took on the sins of the world and mine and yours. Believe in Gods gift to us. It's really very simple and the only way to live forever. Aren't you glad we are only visiting here until we are called home? This young lady has the right idea. Stick with.
The only thing keeping the sinners from falling into hell is the power of god and his mere pleasure.
It is only the hand of God
Edwards uses words like "humans are like spiders being dangled over the fire and God only keeps them alive hor his pleasure. Humans are destined for hell if we do not reform." (not actual citations, paraphrasing)
i think the purpose of this was to scare people into being religious and it was important for people to realize how significant religion is. Puritanism was basically the only religion around back then so when Jonathan Edwards came along and told everyone they were going to hell fear made people jump on the ban wagon, though his words were some what crazy and over the top if it weren't for those words religion would not be so important today.Fear is the primary source to get to people..
Well, i am a Christian. You make a demon angry by worshiping God. If you believe in devil worshiping, i highly suggest you dont. If you worship the devil, after you die, you will suffer in hell for eternity. God is the way to go! If you would like me to explain further, please email me at sasha625@comcast.net
No. People in hell will already be physically dead. I think hell will be hell because in this place people are separated from God.
hell no!!! won't go to hell,unless u pray every day to go to hell,lol who would do such a thing?!
Sinners who have asked forgiveness and repent of their sins will be kept out of hell.
That sinners will go to hell. We need to repent and ask God for mercy.
Hell is personified. (There is hell's wide gaping mouth open.)
Dante's pity for the sinners lessens, and he grows more angry with their sins.
It is only the hand of God
The Wicked, on earth - at this very moment - suffer the torments of Hell. The Wicked must not think, simply because they are not physically in Hell, God (in whose Hand the Wicked now reside) is - at this very moment - as angry with them as He is with those miserable creatures He is now tormenting in hell, and who - at this very moment - do feel and bear the fierceness of His wrath.
yes
The three worst sinners in hell are Brutus, Cassius, and Judas. According to the Divine Comedy.
An allusion is a figure of speech that is an indirect and brief reference to a place or person. An allusion in "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" is when Edwards mentions the wrath of God hanging over the congregation and telling them to fly out of Sodom.
