Sinners In the Hands of an Angry God..... or just one Crazy Dude with a Bleak Outlook on Life

If I was listening to this sermon in the audience of the church, I would have walked out.  This guy was going crazy on how god was in control of everybody's life, and could end it at any second if they commit sins, or don't follow the Puritan laws.  If a child was sitting in the audience, the sermon would probably have scared the bajeezus out of him or her, and would make that kid think that they are going to die, and get all depressed.  I think that this sermon was very harsh and critical on people in general, and that everyone was a sinner, and that god was angry at everyone.  Jonathan Edwards kept on repeating on how god at any moment could sent all the wicked to hell, and make them suffer for their sins, and the sinners should never feel secure and safe from god's wrath.  He also talks about how god never promised to save anyone from hell, he only saves those who don't sin.  The last part is that god will only save those who repent and all others will go to hell.  When I read this, I felt that Jonathan Edwards had a very narrow mind on how people were judged by god, and that everyone was going to go to hell, unless they were perfect religious humans.  Jonathan Edwards expected everyone to believe what he preached, and to be religious, but I think that instead it scared many people, and many might have moved from the city because of the level of consequences were for being wicked in the eyes of the Puritan religion
