Through Adam and Eve's fall the Puritans believd that all people was born in sin and only people that was chosen by god were saved. I don't agree with the puritans faulting people who has nothing to do with Adam and Eve's mistake because they have nothing to do with them eating the fruit and most of the people was not born around that time. I believed that children that was born after what happen with Adam and Eve should be saved and not have to go through living with sin.
The angry god that held the sinners in his hand also believed that all people would not be saved and Jesus did not die for everyone he only died for a few. I believe that Jesus died for everyone and that there's no such thing as an angry god and God loved everyone the same. I don't believe that you would have to suffer for not making your own mistake and for someone else's mistake. John Edward's believed that it was up to the saints to interpret the word of God. And the saints shouldn't be able to put beliefs in people head they should have the right to believe what they want to believe.
They believed that the only thing between men and hell was air and that the angry god held them in his hands and all wicked things will be held and against them and that makes pressure on the angry god's hand and it would push them deeper into the pit's of hell. I think that whatever men did back then should've been able to be forgiven for their sins because everyone makes mistakes.
The puritans wore all black and wrote so boring because they didn't won't to be looking all happy in hell and they wanted to make it seem like hell was real horrible. And the men and the children did not have freedom of speech and could not say what they wanted about their ancestors.

Summary of the Puritans Beliefs
The puritans believed that through adam's and eve's fall all people is born sinful and god saves only a few people he selected. God's grace cannot be earned or denied. Grace is the saving and transfiguring power of god. And it is said that Jesus died for the chosen only, not for everyone. the only ones that get to live uprightly and have the full power to interpret the will of god is those elected by him and that is perserverance of the saints
The sinners in the hands of the angry god believed that not all people will be saved by god and the rest would just go to hell. The reason why the puritans believed in that is because of Adam and Eve everyone was born a sinner. They believed it was no way to earn god's grace. Like Jonathon Edwards it was up to the saints to interpret the word of god. And men are held in the hand of god over the pit of hell and god can turn them lose at anytime and the devil is waiting for them and the mouth of hell is open.
It was believed that there was nothing between men and hell but the air. if you was to act wicked it would just make pressure on god's hand and would push you down deeper towards hell into the bottomless gulf and the black clouds of god's wrath hanging over your head full of dreadful storms and filled with thunder.
On the Mayflower they arrived in harbor and brought safe to land. The children and the men cannot say "Our father's were englishmen which came ever this great ocean, and were ready to perish in this wilderness; but they cried unto the lord, and he heard their voice and looked on their adversity.
