The Puritans

"The puritans believe that everybody was going to hell and they were going to go to heaven." Because of Adam and Eve they believed that everybody was born a sinner.
They also said that Jesus didn’t die on the cross for ever one he only dies on the cross for them not everybody else. "The puritans believed that it was no way to earn god grace and it was up to the saints to interpret the word of god."


When the puritans first came to land all of them started getting on there knees kissing the ground. When they got there them though that everything was ok, then they started getting hungry and thirsty and they didn’t have anything to eat. Some of them travel by boats and some travel by walking. The ones were walking discovered a near place to stay. But the one that was riding the boat had to go through the dangers river and all the storms.

When the puritans was walking down the riverside trying to find them some where to stay, they spotted out five or six men walking down the riverside with dogs. When the puritans spotted them they took off running into the bush running from the men they seen with the dogs. They ran into they lost the people and after running they ran into something with that had water and all kinds of refresh for them. So I know that was very happy because they haven’t had anything to drink or eat in a while, because of all the walking they had did.

Later on the puritans and the Indian started talking to each other and they stop running from each other when they seen each other. Then they made rules that they could hurt each other and if one of them hurt the other they can send there people after them and they can be punish. And if they had war they couldn’t kill some of the people. And when they came to each other they had to put there bows and arrow down or put them behind there back.

In the month of April the puritans governor was feeling sick out in the field. He was hot and they told him to lie down and he did say anything else to them and then later he died. And that was one of the worst died that they ever had he was a strong men for the puritans. And later on about five or six weeks later the governor wife died. Then later on William Bradford was chosen Governor. In which he had been near the point of death, Isaac Allerton was chosen to be an assistant unto him.

Total Depravity - through Adam and Eve's fall, every person is born sinful - concept of Original Sin.
Every one was born a sinner

Limited Atonement - Jesus died for the chosen only, not for everyone. Irresistible Grace - God's grace is freely given, it cannot be earned or denied. Grace is defined as the saving and transfiguring power of God.
Jeus didn't die on the cross for everyone on just the puritans

You have the first task out of the way, but you still have a couple more. Let me know when you have completed all the tasks.

You should also make sure the next tasks have the textual evidence they need to support your claims.

You still need direct quotes to prove what you are saying shows up in the Puritans' writing.

Leave me another comment when you have added this.
