two of the beleifs of the puritans
Here are two beleifs that the puritans follow:total depravity and limited atonement. toatal depravity is the beleif that states that through adam and eve's fall, everyone is born sinful. that's something that i personally, can not get the concept of. that was one of the beleifs that the puritans shared. Another beleif that the puritans stronglly take beleif in is called, Limited atonement. this belief states that jesus died only for the chosen and that gods grace is freely given. those were two beliefs that i saw an example of in the film , sinners of an angry god. during the movis these words were said, Only a few can be saved by god, the rest were sent to hell. that was quotetd in that films which gave an example of limites atonement. there were other examples of the belief total depravity. during the film there were statments made saying that everyone was full of sin so therefore everyone was burned in hell!!! those are two of the beliefs that the puritans believed.
