Jonathan Edwards’s "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God"
Question 5 of 10 • NY-English Language Arts 11 A-CR
Which quotation from "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" indicates that people have a fragile hold on life?
Answer
A
Yea, God is a great deal more angry with great numbers that are now on earth; yea, doubtless with many that are now in this congregation . . . than he is with many of those that are now in the flames of hell.
B
[T]he pit is prepared, the fire is made ready, the furnace is now hot, ready to receive them, the flames do now rage and glow.
C
Unconverted men walk over the pit of hell on a rotten covering, and there are innumerable places in this covering so weak that they won't bear their weight, and these places are not seen.
D
God is dreadfully provoked, his anger is as great towards them as to those that are actually suffering the executions of the fierceness of his wrath in hell.
