Answer:

No, Edwards' characterization of God is not irrational, for he showed Him as an image of an angry, judgmental but also loving and forgiving.

Explanation:

Jonathan Edwards in his sermon "Sinners In The Hands of an Angry God" is a vindictive warning for people to abstain from sinning further. They should ask God for forgiveness, who is loving and will forgive their sins if they sincerely ask for forgiveness. Building the image of God as a loving and peaceful God, but vengeful if needed, Edwards shows God as a mighty being, mightier and supreme over all beings. Comparing man as a mere spider in the hands of God, he shows how tiny and insignificant humans are in comparison to God. So, Edwards' characterization of God as irrational is wrong. He did showed God as a God of anger and jealousy but also showed the good and calm side of him, loving and understanding.

An argument is _____. writing dealing with a controversial issue writing that takes a specific perspective writing that opposes
Nadusha1986 [10]
An argument does not have to controversial: it just refers to someone taking a stand, arguing for or against something. It does not have to be in opposition to other people's ideas either.

So now we have two options left:
 writing that takes a specific perspective
and
<span>writing to explain a writers ideas on a topic

I find both of them not perfect: I would rather say that an argument is a claim, or a statement, that needs to be supported. But from the two I think the better one is </span><span>writing to explain a writers ideas on a topic (this is the best answer I think) since a perspective can mean a "point of view" and this not what an argument is.</span>

Critic means:<br> O<br> claimant<br> O colleague<br> Cultivator
lakkis [162]

the most fitting one is <em>Claimant</em>

Critic is someone who gives their opinion on something, that could be friendly or harsh. Claimant means someone who makes a claim.

I'm probably wrong, but that is my best guess
