A doctrine written by British colonial Christian theologian Jonathan Edwards. This shows an example of how they used to scare people into submission.
If it were not for God's restraints, there are, in the souls of wicked men, hellish principles reigning which, presently, would kindle and flame out into hellfire.
Simply because there are not visible means of death before them at any given moment, the wicked should not feel secure.
Simply because it is natural to care for oneself or to think that others may care for them, men should not think themselves safe from God's wrath.
All that wicked men may do to save themselves from Hell's pains shall afford them nothing if they continue to reject Christ.
God has never promised to save us from Hell, except for those contained in Christ through the covenant of Grace.

God may cast wicked men into hell at any given moment.
The wicked deserve to be cast into hell. Divine justice does not prevent God from destroying the Wicked at any moment.
The wicked, at this moment, suffer under God's condemnation to Hell.
The wicked, on earth—at this very moment—suffer a sample of the torments of Hell. The wicked must not think, simply because they are not physically in Hell, that God (in Whose hand the wicked now reside) is not—at this very moment—as angry with them as He is with those miserable creatures He is now tormenting in hell, and who—at this very moment—do feel and bear the fierceness of His wrath.

religious or mythological place of (often eternal) suffering
“Sinners in the hands of an angry God” doctrine written by Christian theologian Jonathan Edward in 1730s Massachusetts. It was supposedly part of the general revival movement called the “Great awakening” They present this like back in 1700s Christianity was being reformed, but some researchers say that this was not the case. It wasn’t that the new movement in 1700s were challenging the older system of Christianity, but that Christianity became a state religion in Europe starting the 17th century. Meaning that our ancestors were not Christian for 1000 years, but actually became officially Christian sometime during the end of 1600s or beginning of 1700s, but this is still being investigated. In any case, check out what this Christian theologian says about people who were considered sinners. He compares them to loathsome bugs held over a fire and only allowed to live by mercy of god. This is absolutely sickening!

Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God (1741)
They keep telling us our ancestors were primitive, uncivilized, and today we are so advanced and civilized. Ok, compare an average person from about 500 years ago to an average person from our modern world. People back then were self-sufficient, and the further back we go to the pagan era, to the time before monotheism, the more self-reliant people appear.
Today we have technology, but the more technology grows, the more humanity lacks in self-sustainability. The more sophisticated machines they create for us, the less we rely on ourselves. We become dependent on state/government, and their technology... We forgot how to do almost everything for ourselves. They’re starting to put out first generations of virtual personal assistance such as “Alexa.” I think this cripples/disables us, it disarms us. Self-sufficiency is our weapon against slavery, it is the key to freedom....
Your ancestors were primitive and ignorant they say, and today you are civilized and advanced they say. Today we have electricity, but if you ask people, probably 80% of humans don’t even know how electricity works. We drive our cars, but majority of us don’t know how they work, how to build one, or fix it if it breaks. We live in our homes and pay high mortgages, but most don’t know how to build a home. We wear cloths, but we don’t even know how the fabric is made. We buy our breads from stores ready-made, but we don’t know how to plant & process wheat, and make bread. Do you see the point I’m trying to make? The things they tell us are all upside down, backwards.
Who benefits from industrial revolution? Thx to industrial revolution, today we exploit & destroy our planet, pollute our waters, soil and skies. The animals are treated in the most horrific way. Human population is rapidly growing, and destroying everything in its path just like parasites. Everything is driven by greed. Everything good & pure was turned into a business. The advances in healthcare system that they glorify so much, and attribute to industrial revolution are also an illusion. Healthcare system should be called sick care system.
I look at our ancestors, and I’m amazed at how much they knew, at all the things they could do with their own hands. We are taught that modern people are better off, because we have education. I won’t even start with the problems of modern educational system. That’s a topic for another time, but I’ll say that our ancestors had their own education. Pagan ethnic nations took child raising very seriously. They understood that the younger generations are their future. They put great care into raising their young, with proper guidance, positive influence & education. They taught their young how to create, build, make art from an early age. Special systems were in place for the upbringing of children like traditions, customs, rites, etc..

Ethic Europeans/Slavs would never sell their virgin daughters to pay off debts.
This basically says after you’ve won the battle, slaughter everyone except for women/ women children that are still virgin, them you can keep as a prize/war spoils. I wonder how were they supposed to check which little girls were still virgin? And it’s obvious what they will do to these virgin girls after they’ve collected them.
This is how our ancestors made bread. Instead of using store-bought yeast, they did a soak of flour & water. Slavs did the same. I’m assuming all ancient people did it this way
This is a Russian video about how Slavs baked their bread with that same soak of water & flour.
It never fails to shock me that these nonsensical, hate-driven articles are even allowed to get published.
These people insult the great magician JRR Tolkien. How can they get mad at Tolkien, a European author for writing novels that are clearly based on ethnic European people’s heritage, & myths, and thus being the reason why these novels only involve European races, and mythological characters? It’s not his fault that these specific novels that are obviously based on European heritage just happen to be one of the, if not the BEST novels in human history, that have altered the collective consciousness on this planet! Instead of getting mad at a European author who wrote novels based on European mythologies, why don’t these people go write their articles and complain about their own ethnic culture for not producing novels that are based on their ethnic roots, and not just any novels, but a brilliant masterpiece like what Tolkien had done. People don’t go getting mad at novels that are based on Chinese mythology, or Egyptian mythology involving strictly people from those cultures. Why are they always singling out europeans? It is not OK to give all ethnic groups the freedom to preserve their culture, and not allow the same thing to Europeans. Stop being whiny babies with a victim mentality, and go write your own damn novels about your people!

Yes Tolkien’s work is soooo sexist right?
Elf Lady Galadriel comes to rescue Gandalf alone, and literally carries him out of harms way

Eowyn saves king by defeating the witch king. She even says: “I’m no man”
The witch king can not be killed by a male, and this woman kills him bravely. So sexist

Female Elf Arwen saves Frodo. She doesn’t let her love Aragon try to outrun the Nazguls, because she the female is a faster rider than he Aragon the male. So very sexist
