Jonathon Edward’s “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God” Starting in the mid-18th century, the people of Enfield, Connecticut began to lose their beliefs in Christianity. One man named, Jonathan Edwards, took it upon himself to preach to his congregation of sin and hell. In the hope of reviving their many other beliefs in Christianity, scholars refer to this time or even in early American history as “The Great Awakening”. One of Edwards’ sermons was called, “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God”. The sermon explains in detail of the wrath God has and what Hell has in store for the non-believers.
Others, including the man who was healed from blindness, were saying that he (Jesus) is a mighty prophet. The healed man stood for the truth and was turned out of synagogue because the truth angered its rulers. At last, the healed man was found by Jesus who told him that Jesus was the son of God. The man believed and felt to his knees to worship Christ. The author believes that the healing took place because she believes in Jesus Christ and the fact that the story was described in Bible.
In part two, God has ascended to uppercase. God is the God of the Judeo-Christian Bible and His son Christ isn't far behind. "The question is whether God touches anything. Is anything firm, or is time on the loose? Did Christ descend once and for all to no purpose, in a kind of divine and kenotic suicide?"

The Book of Revelation Revelation is the act of revealing or disclosing something that was not before realized (7). A theological definition would be God’s disclosure of himself and his will to his creatures here on earth (7). The final book from the new testament of the Bible predominately discusses the apocalypse, the second coming of Christ, and the forces of good and evil as the worlds of Heaven, Earth, and Hell come together in a final confrontation . There are several key themes throughout the book that reoccur. Emphasis on the number seven, times of great tribulation on Earth, the “Lamb” that saves his people, and a new Earth to replace the old all combine to tell the tale of the final days on our planet.
This is called Christian pacifism. Though the old testament sometimes saw god as the commander of armies, normally fighting for Israel. Jesus sought the teachings of a strand of the old testament found in the vision of the prophet Zechariah, a messiah who banished chariots and war horses and spoke of peace to every nation. Jesus took the part of the suffering servant of Isaiah, who would redeem humanity by his own undeserved suffering as seen in his crucifixion. In a teaching on The Mount (Matthew 5-7), he taught his followers to love their enemies, to forgive those who had wronged them, and to respond to violence with non-violence, returning good for evil.
Ernesto Medina August 9, 2010 Trinity International University Fiery Sermons: Evangelical History There is a quote from a famous American Evangelical preacher Jonathan Edwards. The quote says that all sinners will be cast into hell as they deserve this consequence.This quote is a mere representation of how Evangelicals began their journey and how they are truly seen. Mr. Edwards is attributed as starting the movement and in modern times his message has not strayed much further than “Sinners at the hand of an angry God”. The question is what Evangelicals have done to make the Gospel so threatening. The answer is simple: they have used fear tactics alone to persuade followers of God.
Nestorianism From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia For the church sometimes known as the Nestorian Church, see Church of the East. Nestorianism is a Christological doctrine advanced by Nestorius, Patriarch of Constantinople from 428–431. The doctrine, which was informed by Nestorius's studies under Theodore of Mopsuestia at the School of Antioch, emphasizes the disunion between the human and divine natures of Jesus. Nestorius' teachings brought him into conflict with some other prominent church leaders, most notably Cyril of Alexandria, who criticized especially his rejection of the title Theotokos ("Bringer forth of God") for the Virgin Mary. Nestorius and his teachings were eventually condemned as heretical at the First Council of Ephesus in 431 and the Council of Chalcedon in 451, leading to the Nestorian Schism in which churches supporting Nestorius broke with the rest of the Christian Church.
Given this, some are alarmed by what else Christian Zionists envision being done to bring about the conversion of the Jews and the end of the world. As an example, Hal Lindsey, one of the most popular American promoters of dispensationalism, has written in The Late Great Planet Earth that per Book of Ezekiel (39:6-8) that after Jews fight off a "Russian" invasion, Jews will see this as a miracle and convert to Christianity. Their lives will be spared the great fire that God will put upon Russia and people of the "coastlands." And, per Book of Zechariah (13:8,9), one third of Jews alive who have converted will be spared. [8] In United States politics, Christian Zionism is important because it mobilises an important Republican constituency: fundamentalist and evangelical Protestants who support Israel.
