Separatists

The puritans did not like the Native Americans. They had sort of a standoffish attitude towards them, because they did not put God first. Instead they put survival first. This caused problems in the puritan communities, and were not welcoming to the natives. This was ironic because the puritans left England because of the religious persecution in England. Then they are persecuting others for not being of their faith. The puritans never saw the native's way of living as a good idea. They thought if you live by the Bible and live for god, then if you are meant to survive, you will and if you die from malnutrition or other survival needs God wanted you to die.

Puritans looked to the Bible primarily as their source of morality. There are traditionally 5 Puritan "tenets" or values.

1. Original Sin - as consequence of Original Sin, the Sin of Adam and Eve in eating the Apple of Knowledge of Good and Evil, all mankind is vile, unredeemed.

2. Grace - Sine the Puritan thought of God as the universal cause of good in the world, human success was a result of God's love; failure was the result of a lack of it.

3. Predestination - If God loved some and didn't love others (since God was all-knowing) he must have known from all eternity whom he would love and whom not.

4. The Elect - if you were a Puritan you were the saving remnant, chosen by God from all the world of sinners.

5. Good Works - Doing good, succoring the poor, needy, and weak, was a possible sign of election, but could not be a cause of it.

Some puritans felt they should remain in the Church of England. Other did not think that was possible, so they formed independent congregations with their own ministers. Some of them even left England and came to America.
