On July 8, 1741, theologian Jonathan Edwards preached perhaps the most famous of all American sermons "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" at Enfield, Connecticut, part of the Great Awakening. An excerpt from the article:
"Jonathan Edwards preached this sermon at Enfield, Connecticut, on July 8, 1741. It is probably the most famous of all American sermons.
The sermon lays out the dreadful consequences of man's sin, and Edwards sought to persuade his listeners that they might at any moment be called to judgment for their sins. Reportedly some in Edwards's audience cried out in response to his terrible imagery. At the end of the sermon, though, Edwards preached about 'an extraordinary opportunity, a day wherein Christ has thrown the door of mercy wide open.'"
The whole sermon follows.

Analysis of sinners in the hands of an angry god
Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God Jonathan Edwards, famous for preaching during “The Great Awakening” lived as a puritan, but later found out that church needed reform. Spreading the gospel with his colleague George Whitfield created a style of teaching using something called the” Holy Tone”. The Holy Tone became the new and energetic way of preaching. Attracting the people of the colonies and connecting them to the gospel and the word of God inspired them to start evangelize. Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God”, wrote by Jonathan Edwards in the sass’s uses literary devices such imagery, adaptors to get his congregation to understand his sermon easily. This entices the congregation to repent for their sins. Deuteron 32:35; “Their foot shall slide in due time”, the verse basically talks about sinners going down an unrighteous path. Sinners will soon fall into the pits going against the word of god. A piece of imagery that he uses informs them that if they do not change their ways they will burn in the pits of hell.
He uses the illustration of a spider over a fire. The spider represents the sinner and the person/ hand represents God’s ability to hold you. The illustration simply conveys, God will hold you but, also has the ability to let the sinner go if he/she does not change. The more you sin, the more God forgives you, but after so much time sinners must change because if not, the sinner shall live in hell for eternity. Another illustration Jonathan Edwards uses a spider’s web and a descending rock.
It demonstrated how much people and a sinner’s need God. It conveys everyone chances of living without God, so repenting to get on the right track with god is something that everyone needs. Next, Jonathan Edwards uses a metaphor comparing God’s wrath to great waters. This refers to water being able to come wipe all things in its path. Water is something that is much needed to survive, but it can also become very powerful and destroy. He uses this to connect with the people to relate God’s power to the violent nature of water.
God is an Almighty God and holds all power in his hands which is what conveyed in the metaphor. Another metaphor used to induce sinners is when he compares God’s wrath to a bow bent and an arrow, ready to pierce the heart of a sinner. An arrow, trenchant, and contains much power retains the ability to do much damage. Shooting an arrow takes an excellent and accurate person to hit the target aimed for, which represents God, and an arrow piercing the heart meant immediate death.
After analyzing “sinners in the Hands of an Angry God” the metaphoric use of words Ana Imagery play very Important roles. I nose techniques make unreasoning ten message much easier to understand. Considering that the people living in that time period were not well educated and appealed to more of the minority. They were not very well literate. The use of these scary images persuades them abjure from committing the sins again.

I simply provided a summary Capt Gregory Prickett.
1. Morality is not a constant in any sense since morality is based on personal standards or lack of them barring any other foundation.
2. What is immoral to one group is too often moral to another from enslaving, to treating spouses and children as chattel, to lying, cheating, stealing, and killing.
3. My morality is founded on Judeo-Christian principles which I was inculcated in by my British expatriate parents who raised me as an agnostic. I spent a couple decades learning as much as I could about world history, the physical sciences, philosophy and the faiths of the world.
4. My morality is now founded on my faith as a Christian. The greatest commandment [part 2] is inspirational and always challenging. Love my neighbor as myself and treat the respectfully.[my summary]
5. I do not support slavery, indentured servanthood, or any other forced labor.
6. I do my best to research biographical and historical subjects and look for those with limited bias that are well footnoted.

Capt Gregory Prickett
LTC Stephen F. - Addressing your comments:
2. Would you want to be a slave? Or your children? It is immoral.
3. "Judeo-Christian" is a construct that is primarily used by historical revisionists. “the idea of a single ‘Judeo-Christian tradition’ is a made-in-America myth.” Seidel, Andrew L. The Founding Myth (p. 3). Sterling. Kindle Edition. "Judeo-Christian principles, especially those central to the Christian nationalist identity, are thoroughly opposed to the principles on which the United States was built. The two systems differ and conflict to such a degree that, to put it bluntly, Christianity is un-American." Id. (p. 17)

There is nothing inherently evil about being slave Capt Gregory Prickett.
1. As a Christian, I understand being a slave to Christ is an honor. Being a slave to passions is not usually a good thing for slaveholders, slaves or anybody else.
2. Judeo-Christian simply refers to traditions, perspectives, mores, etc. dating back to Hebrew ear in Egypt, Israel, through the period when church councils were formed to hammer out what was orthodox versus heretical.

LTC Stephen F. - There is nothing immoral about being a slave, correct. It is immoral to own another human being as property, or to condone that practice.
2. Judeo-Christian principles are still opposed to the principles on which the U.S. was founded and built.
