"Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" follow up post

        I believe that the sermon "Sinners in the hands of an Angry God" would frighten people today as it did in the 1700's. Ever since I've grown up people have been telling me that God is a loving God and a forgiving God. The way that Edward portrays him is non forgiving and non loving. I was honestly scared when I had read this and automatically thought that I was going to Hell. I mean seriously, "The bow of God's wrath is bent, and the arrow made ready on the string" (p.98). That scared the living crap out of me. I literally stopped reading and turned around to see if an arrow was really there, that's how believable it was. I'm just saying that I'm a pretty hard persson to scare but this sermon did scare me.
