Puritans

1) Briefly summarize the Puritans' beliefs. This should be a paragraph or two

The Puritans beliefs are that we were born it to sins and that god is angry at us. They said that only a few people go to heaven, but the rest of the people that god do not like is going straight to hell and there is nothing that they can do. Puritans just say that u has to be a chosen one to go to heaven but u does not know until you are dead so really knows.

2) Write a 4-5 paragraph response to the Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God and Of Plymouth Plantation. Explain your thoughts about how these people lived. Better responses will have some direct textual evidence to support what you say. You may want to review these texts before writing your response

Puritans are a group of people that thought that God was an angry being that is mad at us as soon as we are born. They think that God was mad at all humans because of some thing that Adam and Eve did back in the beginning of time.

These puritans were senseless because of the thought that someone would hold a grudge for hundreds and hundreds of years and the people that they said he was mad at did not even have anything to do with what Adam and Eve did.

Although they were senseless they were kind of smart. They use this as a method to take over or make they self look better than everybody else because they said that only the chosen ones were able to go to heaven and God one choose a hand full of people that he accepted into heaven.

3) Choose two of the four beliefs at the beginning of this post of which you saw examples in Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God, or Of Plymouth Plantation. Provide these examples with direct textual evidence.
