I wasn't offended. :-) Most people don't know a lot about the Puritans, or they don't know much that is accurate about them. The guy who wrote Amazing Grace was a Puritan. I tend to quote them quite a bit, which you will see if you hang around. I've never seen such dedication to Christian obedience, holiness, and purity as I see in the Puritans. Very inspirational what God did for them. "What was it that obliged Jerome to write his book, Concerning Illustrious Men? It was the common reproach of old cast upon Christians, 'That they were all poor, weak, unlearned men.' The sort of men sometime called 'Puritans' in the English nation have been reproached with the same character. But when truth shall have liberty to speak, it will be known that Christianity never was more expressed unto the life than in the lives of the persons that have been thus reproached." --Cotton Mather "Nearly every association which now clings tot he word puritan has to be eliminated when we are thinking of the early Protestants. Whatever they were, they were not sour, gloomy, or severe; nor did their enemies bring any such charge against them... For More, a Protestant was one 'dronke of the new must of lewd lightness of minde and vayne gladness of harte.' Protestantism was not too grim, but too glad, to be true." --C. S. Lewis |

Hi DocTrinsograce, Thank you for your reply and for the information on puritans. I truly knew nothing about puritans at all. I look forward to learning and growing and studying God's word with you all. ------ winningside | ||||||
