Gawsh it took me forever to put this up '-_-
Most people respond to this sermon with a modern Christian point of view, and what I mean by this is not that Puritans aren’t Christian, but that its thesis seems a bit radical. One thing I noticed that might bother some Christians is that this sermon doesn't corroborate its sentences with the bible itself. It’s more of interpretation of how one thinks God is and should be, and so basically I from this I grasp that a Christian only has to cohere that Jesus is the messiah, and then everything else becomes legal with redemption. And what I believe is that for a Christian to criticize this, then they must criticize the rest of their religion. If all believers of Jesus are saved, then what need is there to interpret the bible? What need is there to have disputes on what is right and what is wrong? And what right do other Christians have to pass judgment on Puritans? This also leads me into another subject. How does America decided to separate church from state. Together or apart, they both are corrupt. Furthermore, how are laws determined? By democracy? No, the people ruling can lead to downfall. As it always has. What mankind needs is a genuine religious power/church/whatever to rule and govern out of pure good will. And what will lead people to this is faith, not fear. And although the Puritans use fear to instill trust in God, faith and sincerity is what they had, so who are you to criticize?
