Puritains Beliefs task 1
They believed that God died for a select few and the rest were sent to the gates of hell. They also believed that Gods grace was given instead of earned. If God anointed them select few then they had the power to go and preach the word of God. They also believed that if you disobey Gods word then you have disobeyed God. The Puritains had a awkward way of showing God's grace for all of this chosen ones. Puritans believe that the only ones comparable to God's glory are the saints and prophets. Puritans describe God's grace as being freely given and there is no way to deny it or earn it, you either have it or you don't.

Can I get A Witness
CAN I GET A WITNESS
I read about 50 pages, This is my first time reading a book by ReShonda Tate Billingsley. I find this book to be pretty good so far, I would reccomend anyone to pick it up and read. It deals with alot of real life issues like marriges gone wrong and dealing the ups and downs of having an relationship. It just lays to struggles of down in the book as you read the book.

The Ractionalist
1.) The Puritans did not believe that God died for certain people, but sent the rest to hell. The Rationalist believed that God wasn't responsible for everything they think that man has something to do with the world, they used science. Example of Puritans behavior in today's world is through drinking and driving. Example of rationalists behavior in today's world is through following laws writing for you to follow.
3.) In his novel from the Poor Richard Almanack were he said " God helps those that help themselves". He was saying that if you cannot rely on yourself for nothing or try to at least help yourself, then why should God wanna help you, when you are not making any effort to help yourself.
4.) 1. attitude, treat people the way you want to be treated
2. attentive pay more attention to situations around me
3. silence when nothing good is going to come from my mouth
4. cleanliness tolerate no more messiness house to the car
5. learn something new everyday I wake up
6. Work hard to make things happen
7. Stop depending on others and stand out and do it myself
8. look for work even though their is none; make work myself
9. speak more productively; so people understand me better
10. want what people want give me; work for whatever I want
11. stop nagging when I don't have it and be happy with what I have
12. eat more healthier so I can live a better life.
13. Dream Big and make them come TRUE.
I don't think anybody is meant to be perfect, because that is what makes the world go around people making mistakes. People make mistakes so they can later learn from them and then they correct so that they don't keep making the same mistake. I think the reason we are not meant for perfection is because Jesus died for our sins. Adam and Eve were the first sinners and that alone gave up the aspect of perfection.
You could never meet moral perfection even if your life was planned from beginning to the end. Being perfect shouldn't even be the focus of anybody life in this world, now I do believe that we should all work our hardest to be the best that we could ever imagine. I feel that any human being on the planet earth should rely on trying to be perfect I think if they just stop trying to be so perfect their life would move so much better and less problems would come. They don't cons tally carry the weight of trying to be perfection all the time. Again, I don't think nobody is at the peak of perfection.
