Puritans

In the Puritan-founded colony of Massachusetts Bay, religious freedom was not encouraged in any typical 21st century sense. For the Puritans, the freedom that they enjoyed to practice their religious faith was restricted to their religious faith. Living, working, and worshipping together as a unified community, these settlers viewed "freedom" strictly in terms of the "true faith" which they alone practiced; thus, religious views were strictly monitored and enforced throughout the newly-founded community.

I didn't know they were involved in politics...

Puritans were followers of the teachings of Calvin and believed, like the Separatists, that man was born in sin and they all bore the guilt of Adam and Eve. To become saved, they would have to prove they were worthy while here on earth. To be worthy one would prosper, be faithful, and lead a successful life. Instead of separating from the Church of England, they wanted to "purify" the Church of the influence of the Catholic Church within the Anglican Church, thus the name, Puritans. Puritans wanted to remove themselves from non-Puritans. They originally wanted to leave Great Britain because they were not pleased with the way non-Puritans were worshiping without much interference. Puritans, who wanted to establish a "Godly Commonwealth," settled Massachusetts in 1630.

the puritans where peolpe who helped the english to trade maybe

The religion was the foundation for their beliefs and colonial government.

true the answer is true

William Bradford used the Puritan plain style and typology.

Martin Luther a monk and teacher at the University of Wittenberg, in 1517 published his "95 Theses of Contention" describing corruption in the Roman Catholic. As his writings became widely spread throughout Europe, the "protestant reformation" began to protest the corruption and power of the Roman Catholic church. In his writings, he condemned the Jews because they did not accept Christ as the Messiah. As the Nazis gained power in Germany in the twentieth century, they used quotes from Luther's writings to support their ideals. Today's followers of Luther's teaching are known as Lutherans.

Around the same time that Luther's writings were spreading throughout Europe, reformers in England were attempting to "purify" the Church of England believing that the clergy had too much power. They called themselves Puritans. The official move to cut the power of the Roman Catholic church in England was when King Henry VIII, for his own reasons, separated from Rome in 1534. The Puritans defied the power of the church and were persecuted for their efforts to reform the government controlled church. This finally drove the Puritans to set up colonies in the New World.

Any opposition of Martin Luther's teachings by the Puritans may be obscured by their struggles to accomplish their own reformations.

It is only a matter of opinion.

The Puritan sermons of despair were often referred to as "fire and brimstone" sermons. These sermons emphasized the wrath of God, the reality of hell, and the dire consequences of sin, aiming to instill fear and provoke repentance among the congregation. A notable example of this style is Jonathan Edwards' famous sermon, "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God." Such sermons were intended to awaken a sense of urgency about salvation and moral living.

The Anglican Church of the seventeenth century was the brainchild of Henry VIII, Edward, and Elizabeth I, and their "divines". Basically they tried to construct a church from scratch with the property they stole from the Catholic Church and keep everything as much like the Catholic Church as possible so that they wouldn't have open rebellion from the people. Thus while throwing out the major dogmas on which the Church is built: like Transubstantiation, and the Latin language (the Church in England for the most part was the Latin Rite), they kept vestments, altars, Church seasons - the Church calendar, they kept the basic structure of the Mass for their new Protestant worship service, etc. The Puritans wanted to purge EVERYTHING that smacked of Rome from their Church. They thought that the monarchs had not gone far enough in "purging the Church of Rome" and they were going to make it "pure". Thus vestments, the service, the prayer book, anything that smacked of Rome in their eyes was to be gotten rid of.

Death

Because they believed differently and persecution, the Puritans left the church of England.

The Puritans were a branch of a category known as "Dissenters" in the Church of England. The Church of England was a reformed movement that broke away from the Roman Catholic Church. Some, however, felt that the reforms did not go far enough. Some believed that church was not grounded as solidly as it should be on the Bible. Some sought to embrace Calvinist teachings, or sought to abolish the episcopal system, or other innovations. Baptists, Quakers, Puritans, and Methodists all can trace back to Dissenting movements of one form or another within the Church of England.

Some sought spiritual piety, seeking a "pure" church. This led to some being nicknamed Puritans. Early Puritan leaders, such as Bishop Hooker and Thomas Cartwright saw themselves as reformers within the Church of England, not creating their own movement.

During the time of Queen Elizabeth I, conflict developed. The reformers/dissenters were rejected by the Church of England as a whole, as well as the Crown. Gradually due to a failure to reform the Church of England (as they saw it) and due to persecution, the reforming movement gradually became a separatist movement, forming "underground congregations" in the latter part of the 1500s into the early 1600s.

Puritanism as a separate church movement was now a reality.

The Pilgrims and Puritans are the same thing and Massachusetts is the answer

The Puritans did not have priests in the traditional sense found in other Christian denominations. Instead, they believed in a system of congregational governance where ministers or pastors led their congregations, focusing on preaching and teaching the Bible rather than performing priestly functions such as sacraments. This emphasis on the individual's relationship with God and the authority of Scripture was central to Puritan belief.

Most Puritans were of English descent. In the United States, many Puritan immigrants became some of the first English Americans.

Puritans were known for their belief that pleasure is sin. They lived very simplistically, looking down on celebration and holidays as pagan traditions. They came to America's colonies mainly the Northeast and Massachusetts bay to be a model to the Church of England, which they wished to reform. They were not separatists.

well by saying how, when you get married and your husband or your wife is different to you then you can easily change by learn by them

Yes; The two major religions Puritanism evolved into are the United Church of Christ and Unitarian Universalism.

Some of the characteristics of the Puritan Society is that they are quiet people, not noisy and do practice self-discipline. This is a good thing, righteous.
Also, they do voluntary work, not to attract attention, its' to help others, as is requested in every Great Religion of the world: being kind.
The above was learned by myself only because I visited a friend of a friend's mother, and was invited to sit at a meeting with them. I asked later of that kind lady about what sort of social work she did, and she replied she drove a van delivering meals on wheels for the elderly and the poor.
At the same time as this brief yet wonderful encounter with beauty in people, it was in a cold city and I had only a sleeping bag to sleep at a place, and it was Winter, and she then, without myself asking, gave myself some woollen blankets to put over myself.
No-one can tell myself the Puritans are not kind and nice and thoughtful, since I have the proof they are very, very nice. And, I did not get asked for money, neither did I get pushed into or pressured into anything there. All I was asked to do was to be polite in their home, and quiet at their meeting. I noticed their clothes were clean, the home was clean and tidy, the lady's hair was clean and superbly well-kept. They were pleasant and thoughtful and quiet, clean-living folk that I still love and remember.

1812

The Puritans relationship with God was inseparable. They believed in God and only God.

The sermon of Sinners In the Hands of an Angry God by Jonathan Edwards is a well thought out and arranged sermon. It is so well done it is still applicable today. Any sermon which can stand the test of time is an excellent sermon. People think that the title represents a preacher screaming, ranting and raving. That is not true. Jonathan Edwards told this sermon very eloquently and calmly. It was fitting for the literature of his day and the literature of our day. See attached related link so you can see what I am writing about. Thank you.

They banned drunkenness, make-up, theatre going, going to church on Christmas day, Christmas dinner, dancing, singing, parties, music and other such things
