The video, “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God Introduction,” enlightens viewers of a famous sermon that was preached by Jonathan Edwards. On July 8, 1741, Edwards delivered a sermon to a crowd of people. This sermon supposedly revealed Edwards’ harsh opinion about God’s anger towards sinners. The Americans that originally heard this sermon were awestruck by the words. They were forever hateful towards Edwards for putting terrible thoughts into their heads. The things that Edwards revealed to those people forever changed their opinion of God and sparked much controversy.
What Jonathan Edwards said that day must have been appalling. If the words he preached scared the population so much, he most likely included awful images in his lecture about God. Whatever he told the crowd of people went against all positive thoughts they had ever had of God. Perhaps Edwards told the listeners that God was unforgiving; this is something that people had never heard of. He must have denied the fact that God is merciful and compassionate. What he said that day shocked listeners, so he probably revealed a belief that they would never have imagined.
