Answer 2

Answer:

It justifies Edwards's strategy of scaring people into accepting God.

Explanation:

In that rethoric question that the pastor Johnatan Edwards says in his speech sinners in the hands of an angry God, this is because in all of his speech he is talking about how people will go to hell, and he is describing hell as this awful place where sinners go for eternity because they didn´t act accordingly to what God wanted from them, so he uses that rethoric question to make the audience ask themselves if they knew this was coming, would they do something to change that fate?, is it not a reasonable thing to fright a person out of a house on fire?, so basically he is inviting and frighting people into belive in God and live accordingly to his precepts.
