Paranormalcy Posted January 1, 2006 #2 Share Posted January 1, 2006 An interesting sermon in its definite fierce intensity, I'll give you that. Glad I don't have a God like that. He sounds mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yelekiah Posted January 1, 2006 #3 Share Posted January 1, 2006 I remember reading this when I was studying the Puritans. I can imagine how effective it must have been, because fear is a good tool. Great imagery in that sermon as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~TheBigK~ Posted January 1, 2006 #4 Share Posted January 1, 2006 I read this a few months ago while studying the Puritans also. It is frightening, but I'm sure that made it all the more effective, and it is put together very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMEN to that! My God is a loving, forgiving God. He's jealous if you worship anything but Him but He's full love and forgiveness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Umbarger Posted January 2, 2006 #7 Share Posted January 2, 2006 I bet the sermon on the following week had to do with coughing up more money as the plate went by! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yelekiah Posted January 2, 2006 #8 Share Posted January 2, 2006 The God that holds you over the pit of hell, much as one holds a spider, or some loathsome insect over the fire, abhors you, and is dreadfully provoked: his wrath towards you burns like fire; he looks upon you as worthy of nothing else, but to be cast into the fire; he is of purer eyes than to bear to have you in his sight; you are ten thousand times more abominable in his eyes, than the most hateful venomous serpent is in ours. I think this portion was pretty effective. Comparing you to a loathsome bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
