The answer is a because that would be the second event
The question why do "I" think people were persuaded to change their lives as a result of Edwards sermon "Sinners in the hands of an Angry God", is an opinion and I would think there are many opinions with a wide variety of responses. However to uncover some truths one must consider some of the facts which are more religious / spiritual in nature.
Jonathan Edwards was a minister doing the work of God and his manual was the Bible. The Bible story is one of birth, falling into sin, rebirth, and redemption if one will accept the gift of God's son for that redemption. However mankind's nature, due to the transgression in the Garden of Eden cause men to be in a sinful state. A state of self-righteousness, a pride that exalts them above others and allows them to think about self first. Self being on the throne of the heart and not God. Throughout history man has fallen into a depravity of sorts, drinking, gambling, killing. This self destructive behavior is why mankind needs saved from himself.
Many after falling to a very low place in life understand they need help. They want help and they need hope, peace, and love back in their lives. They understand they are not in a good place in life. Enter J. Edwards, he understood that if mankind did not change his ways and turn the throne of their hearts to God, then the result would be an eternity in hell. A place of horror and pain. In Sinners in the Hands of an angry God, those being preached to understood that they were "sinners" and that God would not hold out his hand of mercy forever. They felt the shame of their actions and as we all know life is not forever on this earth, they would have a day of reckoning. When standing before God the choice would be to hear "well done", or be thrown into the lake of fire for ones depravity and the lack of repentance. People were persuaded to change their lives because they wanted to feel hope again. Edwards offered them hope. For those that were changed the idea of no longer being sinners allowed them the hope of heaven at death. The other option, to spend eternity in hell because God was angry for their lack of repentance, well who wants to go there.
Edwards was a powerful speaker in his day and he spent a lot of time praying about the message he brought to the people. The culture and the people understood the polarities in life. It was Heaven or Hell, Right or Wrong, Black or White. The majority of people held the traditional Christian beliefs and the word of God or The Bible was the book to be accountable to. End result many lives changed for fear of going to hell if they did not.
QUESTION ONE: The most single and memorable day in my life occurred one week ago. I was on my way home and went across this young women, she had the most peaceful face I had ever seen.
It was quite late that night on Central station, I was going back home coming back from Cleveland. Engrossed in my thoughts, she approached and made me realized that I had dropped a silk handkerchief. At that moment I came back to reality, looked at it and told her it wasn't mine. She said I was the only stylish men among the station that's why she was sure it was mine. I felt flattered and started talking to her. We talked for a few minutes and we realized we lived close. She lived on Amsterdam and 22nd St. That´s I offer her a ride on my cab.e When we arrived we walked a few blocks, I told her my building, suddenly the door was opened and all my family and friends came through the door singing happy birthday to me. That girl was my cousin from San Diego that have not seen since I was a kid and charmed me to take me home to the party.
QUESTION TWO:
Claim for incorrect charge of account commission
To whom it May concern:
On this written I wish to express my profound dissatisfaction with the service provided. Yesterday morning I reviewed my bank statements and I realized that I had been charged for the account commission service they told me they would not charge me for six months. On December 26 th I received an email from you informing me about the promotion from which the cost of my banking package would subsidized for 6 months. And the first month after that I already notice the cost in my account. I consider it a great lack of respect because it not only damages me financially but also I must invest a large part of my time in making the claim: first by telephone and now in writing this letter (as I have been informed by your employees, you need this writting for the claim to be effective). I hope to perceive quickly on my bank account the amount charged and that you can consider as well the compensation of the extra expenses that this inconvenience caused.
I am looking forward to your response,
Cordially,
