This is so that more people feel like they need to keep coming to the church. By saying things like the people deserved doomed to the Fiery pits, he is trying to instill the image of Fire which could be a symbol for pain and suffering because we all know what it is like to be burned. This quote probably made Edwards' audience feel scared and or pressured to stay with the Church and to follow their rules.]]> 2023-09-13 16:54:11 UTC https://padlet.com/tbarber100/a01v0sg7952h6om/wish/2702465140 tbarber100 https://padlet.com/tbarber100/a01v0sg7952h6om/wish/2702471703 In this quote, Jonathan Edwards is explaining how your fate after death comes down to God. The decision on whether or not you will be reborn, to a state of new without sin, will all come down to the decision of a God that they have angered. He tries to explain that due to their sins and disbelief in the one and only God, they will never be reborn into new creatures, never being able to see the world again.]]> 2023-09-13 16:58:35 UTC https://padlet.com/tbarber100/a01v0sg7952h6om/wish/2702471703 ggyager100 https://padlet.com/tbarber100/a01v0sg7952h6om/wish/2702473541 They having done nothing to at least appease or abate that anger, neither is God in the least bound by any promise to hold them up one moment: the devil is waiting for them, hell is gaping for them, the flames gather and flash about them, and would fain lay hold on them" (106).]]> 2023-09-13 16:59:47 UTC https://padlet.com/tbarber100/a01v0sg7952h6om/wish/2702473541 ggyager100 https://padlet.com/tbarber100/a01v0sg7952h6om/wish/2702493477 Here Edwards is once again trying to scare his listeners and or audience in staying with the church or engaging more in the church. His tone is yet again, kind of a angry or irritated tone. In this quote he describes how the devil is waiting and the fires of hell are excited to get a hold onto another person and that god wouldn't save the sinner. As a reader who this sermon wasnt even directed at in the first place, this is a scary enough quote because back then one of the things people cared about most was religion and how they stood in respect to going to heaven or not and to be told they were destined for the fire that would fain to get a hold of them was shocking and is probably why Edwards struggled with authority.]]> 2023-09-13 17:11:58 UTC https://padlet.com/tbarber100/a01v0sg7952h6om/wish/2702493477 tbarber100 https://padlet.com/tbarber100/a01v0sg7952h6om/wish/2702505857 "But this is the dismissal case of every soul in this congregation that has not been born again, however moral and strict, sober and religious they may otherwise be,” (107).]]> 2023-09-13 17:20:02 UTC https://padlet.com/tbarber100/a01v0sg7952h6om/wish/2702505857 tbarber100 https://padlet.com/tbarber100/a01v0sg7952h6om/wish/2702614001 This quote states how even if you are born anew, your life will be short lived. Even if you follow God, dont drink, and live a healthy life, you will still be ended early for the sins in your past life.]]> 2023-09-13 18:29:23 UTC https://padlet.com/tbarber100/a01v0sg7952h6om/wish/2702614001
