Puritans

The elect

It depends on when or in what regard.

While in England the Puritans wanted to reform the Church of England in a way similar to the way Calvin had done in Geneva. They wanted the Church to move further from Roman Catholic rites and dogma.

They came to the New World to have more freedom to worship the way they saw fit.

Patriarchal with the man heading the home and earning the largest share of the wages for the family, typically off the land (i.e. farming). The wife would bear and raise children and keep the home in order. The children would share chores based on their ability either in the home or with the father.

The Amish in Northern Mid-West America today reflect a lifestyle very similar to that of the Puritans.

Execution is the worst that they did, and it started in the 1620s, before the witch trials of Salem. Fines, and making it impossible to find work is another. They were especially against the Quakers because they believed that you could talk directly to God instead of having a heirarchy.

Hajj is obligatory on a Muslim man and woman once in life time.

I've ordered from Puritan's Pride for 30 years and never heard of Nature's Bounty.

I too am a longterm customer of Puritan's Pride. I checked with them directly and according to Puritan's Pride, Nature's Bounty is their sister company, as are Vitamin World and many other companies, including many supermarket and discount store private label supplements. Last summer when I was visiting a cousin in London and I needed some supplements, she took me to a store called Holland and Barrett. You guessed it -- they're also a sister company of Puritan's Pride!

They thought it was good to know just they didn't think of it as important as we do now.

Sin has been known to be synonymous, the same as, with wrongdoing, but the Bible defines sin as a transgression of God's Law, especially any and all failures to abide by the 10 Commandments written by the Hand of God for the People of Israel the Israelites, which was handled by Moses.

The Puritans were intensely religious. The name Puritan indicates their belief in their own spiritual purity.

The Puritan religion was part of the Protestant tradition of Christianity. Puritans were so named because they believed they needed to "purify" Christian practices and remove the elements they believed were pagan or materialistic. They believed the Church of England had lost its way (and the Church of England returned the favor-- Anglicans believed the Puritans were joyless and fanatical). Puritans were influenced by Calvinism-- they believed God had chosen "the elect"-- those who would and would not be saved. They also believed sins must be severely punished (since to sin was to show disrespect for God's law).

In ritual, most Puritans believed in plainness, rather than an elegant and elaborate set of rituals-- they disagreed with Catholic and Anglican (Episcopalian) worship, and thought a Christian religious service should be simple and direct; they also thought that one's clothing should be simple -- not too colorful or showy. They opposed most secular entertainment such as gambling, and they did not even approve of celebrating holidays like Christmas. On the other hand, they elevated family life and stressed the importance of the husband and wife raising pious and disciplined children.

Unsuccessful.

The Puritan dissenter who claimed that worshippers did not need the church to help them interpret the Bible was Roger Williams. He argued for the idea of soul liberty, emphasizing that individuals could have a direct relationship with God and interpret scripture on their own. Williams' beliefs ultimately led him to found Rhode Island, a colony known for its religious freedom. His views challenged the established Puritan orthodoxy and contributed to the broader discourse on religious tolerance.

It depends which Anglicans and Puritans you mean! Anglicans were members of the Church of England, and the Puritan movement sought to bring about a more 'pure' (i.e. more thoroughly reformed) church. Some of them remained within the Church of England, but others began new non-conformist groups, either out of choice or because they were ejected.

Puritans were Protestants in Britain and Europe from the mid-1500s. They mainly wanted to reform the Church of England in a similar way to what Calvin had done in Geneva.

After Henry VIII took the English Church away from Rome, Cranmer, his Archbishop of Canterbury, revised the worship practices of the Church of England to make them less Catholic and more Calvinist. Under Henry's son Edward VI the C of E worship became even less Catholic than it had been. Then Edward died and his half-sister Mary, who was a Catholic, became queen. Under Mary, the reforms were reversed. Then after Mary died, her half sister Elizabeth became queen, and the reforms were put back in place.

Some people, who came to be known as Puritans, wanted the process of reform to go much further, towards a complete abandonment of the kinds of ceremonies that had been associated with the Catholic Church. They also desired the elimination of any trappings that might be deemed idolatrous or "Popish", including clerical robes, paintings and roods (Crucifixion scenes incorporating statues).

Puritanism had initially developed on the Continent, among those who had fled the persecutions of Mary I of England; their position was wholly Reformed. Puritan thought also focused on the matter of Church organisation and structure. Few Puritans were enthusiastic for a Church that was organised on a hierarchy of bishops, especially if they were all subservient to the monarch. The first stirrings of English Congregationalism and Presbyterianism took place under Elizabeth.

Many Puritans left England to travel to the American Colonies during the early 1600s, hoping to find places where there was more religious tolerance than in England.

After Charles I had been executed for treason, England and Wales was declared a Commonwealth (or as we might say today, a republic) with Oliver Cromwell the leading power. He was a Puritan, and under his leadership many strict laws were passed, which restricted partying and the like.

Some people use the word Puritans to refer to Congregationalists and Presbyterians during this period. Most continued to operate within the Church of England until 1662, when Charles II required everyone to agree to use the 1662 Book of Common Prayer. About 2000 ministers in the Church of England refused to do so, and were ejected from the Church of England on 24 September 1662. Almost all would have been called Puritans, but as they began to organise themselves independently, they became known by the Congregationalist and Presbyterian labels instead.

John Calvin?

Puritans, having esperienced religious persecution, felt it was their God given right to persecute others.

The Puritan religion came from England (The Anglican Church) Puritans wanted to purify the Church.

The Puritans wanted to reform the Anglican Church. The Pilgrims, who were mainly Separatists, wanted to leave the Anglican Hurch and set up their own churches.

Yes they did. They wished to separate from the Anglican Church, and to practice alcoholic abstinence among other things. Christmas at that time was an absolute raucous mess involving lots of drink and little gift giving, if any at all.

The puritans did not believe in that the religion was rightouse or fair, they were tied of being tolled to do what to believe.. causing them to separate from the church and becoming puritans "pure".
