two beliefs

I decided to talk about the Puritan’s belief of Total Depravity. As you saw in my first post it is the belief that because of what Adam and Eve did, all people are born sinners. To this religion this means that God hates all people and only some are saved. In the clip of “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God”, the preacher explains that there is no way of salvation for these people and that they will meet their destiny in Hell. He also expresses that God has no reason for even keeping these people on this earth. I personally think this is stupid, just for the fact that if God hates us so much and he doesn’t even want us here, then why make us? Why put us on this earth and give us life if he already knows what our destiny is? The other belief that I wanted to talk about is their belief known as the Perseverance of the “saints”. This is the belief that certain people are elected by God himself to interpret his word however they please. In “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God”, the preacher is telling everybody that they are going to Hell. He is saying this in a way of which he knows that he is not one of them. I don’t understand how he is so special, and what is it that he has done so right that everybody else is doing so wrong. Their beliefs just don’t make sense to me, how can everybody be going to Hell for the sins that Adam and Eve committed, but oh wait, some people are okay. For what reason, they don’t know but that’s just suppose to be how it is.
