Great sermon! Every time I get fed up with humanity I listen to this masterpiece of convicton, I still preach this way.

Real timely message, in that it's only 1900 years out of date!!!

2 Cor 5:19 clearly says "God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, no longer counting people's sins against them.

And he gave us this wonderful message of reconciliation."

Apparently this pertinent bit of info flew right over Jonathon Edwards' blessed pointed little head.

@kubakozub If you want to discuss the theological beliefs of this man, I am not going to continue the discussion as I made it clear I was only interested in the academic quality of the sermon regardless of beliefs.

@theobsessedprincess The arguments he points out are bullshit. It was popular in the 18th century, because puritans were the strongest religious movement back then. He was a powerful leader of their church, I must agree, but looking at it now, you can't say it has good arguments. - if you don't believe in something extremely doubtful (God), you are lucky to be alive - so you should believe in God or else. Come on...

@kubakozub @kubakozub Again, I would stress looking at the context and structure of the writing if you don't agree with its content. As a literary, academic piece, yes, this is an incredible piece (and no, I wasn't taught this in school... I studied it on my own so you cannot claim I was brainwashed). Logical structure, solid support for the arguments, nearly flawless writing - this has it all. I doubt many sermons, papers, or speeches today are as strong or impactful.

@theobsessedprincess Maybe it's important from the psychological point of view - Jonathan Edwards was a freak to the extremity. You probably had this covered during your classes at school and that's why you think of it as of such a masterpiece. The truth is that it shows how stupid puritans were and how idiotic were their beliefs.

@kubakozub It's very important. It was a massive section of American history, if anything else. If you don't think you can't learn from such an impressive and culture-changing piece of writing/preaching, maybe you need to look beyond just the content of the writing and see the context surrounding its creation.
