The reason the puritans believe the way they do is because what happened back in the past between Adam and eve and that because god didn't punish them that they should go to hell. Everyone makes mistakes and Adam and eve made one but if i wasn't for the mistake that they made they wouldn't be here criticizing and talk down about god the way that they do. They said that he didn't die for all but if he didn't die for all then how are they here? They also thought that all Church's should be organized and that all humans depended on one person GOD.

I think that the puritans(Pilgrims) should change their ways because it seems to me like they don't appreciate what god has done for them. As i read the passage and listen to the video it seemed to me that they were saying that everyone was a sinner and if they weren't chosen by god that they should rot in hell. And they think that "EVERYONE IS OUT OF CHRIST". But they were also happy because they made it to America safely.
On November the 11ht the arrived in cape cod looking for a place of habitation and somewhere where they could find fresh water and fresh food.On November the 15Th they decided to take a journey through the ambush and while they were on their journey they saw a couple of strange men they had no idea who they were or where they were from and them being Indians (PILGRIMS)they thought that those were some people coming to put them back on the ship or maybe had heard that they had arrived and they planned to kill them. But the men followed them because they wanted to know who they were and to see if they could find out a little bit of information from them because they had seen them lying in the ambush. So they thought once they made it to America that they would use their own liberty although bone of them had power to demand.
On March 16TH a bold Indian has came to them and spoke English which they understood very well after he had spoken to them them had became very well acquainted he told them his name was Samoset but he gave them another name of a man who could speak English a lot better than him because he was from England. After they learned to speak English they went got back all their tools that were stolen away from them and they made a way for the coming of their great Sachem, called Massasoit.
I think that once they got to America that they felt they were free but they also felt as if their was someone trying to come after them just like the men who were trying to figure out who they were. The Indians thought that they were trying to kill them or make them go back across the ocean. But all in all i think it did them some good to come to America.
Natural men are held in the hand of god over they fiery pit of hell and they have deserved the pit and are sentenced to it. This is an example of Perseverance of the "saints".
God's hand have held you up he is the reason that you woke up thism orning after you clsede your eyes last night, he is the reason that you have not entered to firey pit of hell. This is an example of Unconditional Election.
