people can be seen in Edwards's sermon, "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God." In this sermon he addressed the issues of man as a sinner, God's hate of sinners - wrath of God. Throughout the sermon he addressed the damnation of man, the process of salvation and redemption. He hammered at his congregation using guilt and fear for their souls.

The Natural World The opening verse of the Bible states, “In the Beginning God created the heavens and the earth”. It goes on to explain how God added to the creation according to his creative decrees. One can imagine how beautiful the scene was once completed. If we take a look at today’s scenery it would be safe to assume that God is not pleased with the decline of creation. We see in the richest continent according to Craig Sorley, in Africa countless communities are facing environmental degradation

JOHNSON AS PART OF THE REQUIREMENT FOR 1501MP BY JOHN TELGREN SHAWNEE, KS MARCH 27, 2007 As I understand it, "salvation" in scripture is basically fellowship of God's creatures with the creator. Keeping in mind that sin is a reality in the created order, a better way to put it would be this: Salvation is restoration of fellowship of God's creatures with the creator.

Calvinism and Arminianism Abel Bermea, Jr. Liberty University ENG /101 August 29, 2006 The purpose of this paper is to compare two theological positions, namely Calvinism and Arminianism. These are two positions on either side of the debate concerning free will and predestination. There are those who believe that we have the free will to love/obey God or hate/deny him, and there are those who believe that God, in his sovereignty, has predetermined who will be saved and who will not be saved

Justification by Faith By Russell D. Stalvey Introduction A statement that is ancient but also timeless and just as relevant for today’s believers is that we are justified by faith. The Apostle Paul gave insight to this statement very distinctly and in great aspect but to completely understand the statement, we first must possess a foundational comprehension of what it means to be justified. In understanding justification we will see that it is inseparably interrelated to faith, but not
