In the following excerpt of "Sinners in the hands of an angry God", Edwards extensively compares God's wrath with great Warters:

"The Wrath of God is like great Waters that are  dammed for the present; they increase more and  more, & rise higher and higher, till an Outlet is  given, and the longer the Stream is stop’d, the more  rapid and mighty is it’s Course, when once it is let  loose. 'Tis true, that Judgment against your evil  Works has not been executed hitherto; the Floods  of God’s Vengeance have been with-held; but your  Guilt in the mean Time is constantly increasing,  and you are every Day treasuring up more Wrath;  the Waters are continually rising an waxing more  and more mighty; and there is nothing but the meer  Pleasure of God that holds the Waters back that are  unwilling to be stopped, and press hard to go forward;  if God should only withdraw his Hand from  the Flood-Gate, it would immediately fly open,  and the fiery Floods of the Fierceness and Wrath of  God would rush forth with inconceivable Fury, and  would come upon you with omnipotent Power; and  if your Strength were ten thousand Times greater  than it is, yea ten thousand Times greater than the  Strength of the stoutest, sturdiest, Devil in Hell, it  would be nothing to withstand or endure it."

lianna [129]

Answer:

I wonder if you could disagree. Say the punishment of wearing the scarlet letter is much less barbaric than the stoning that she might have suffered under mosaic law.

Explanation: Adultery destroys the love and trust that form the basis for a happy marriage. It causes the breakdown of families. In previous centuries, stable marriages and families were the basis for communities and civil society. Anyone who caused disruption undermined the common good. The punishment served as a deterrent.

In today's culture of pleasure-seeking and lack of commitment to long-term marriage, it may seem harsh to punish someone for "doing what comes naturally." But look at the consequences. Single parents who can hardly support themselves and their kids. Kids constantly in visitation switches between parents. Unplanned pregnancies and abortions. If adultry were less tolerated, family and community life would be more stable.

Q 2. You mention to one of your neighbours that you have studied how to build good and beneficial relationships using some simpl
defon

Answer:

Q 2. First, it would be necessary to listen to the boy's parents and listen to the boy's explanations of why he is acting this way. Once I knew both sides of the story, I could better assess the situation and establish a dialogue between parents and children so that both could speak their complaints and talk about how they can change this situation.

Q 3. My daily private victory is carried out with the following activities: 1. Organizing my day's tasks so that I know exactly what I should do, 2. Do not put off my obligations and do them at the right times, 3. Remember to put moments of rest in order not to be overwhelmed, 4. Only start an activity when I finish the one that has already started, 5. Do not compare the quality of my activities with the quality of other people's activities, 6. Be kind to my limitations. The time that these activities take to complete is very relative and I don't care about it, but I do care about performing my duties efficiently so that I can feel the sense of victory. The activities that are excluded from the daily private victory are those that prohibit an individual from being proactive, cause the individual to start acting without having a goal as the desired end and activities that disorganize and do not establish what must be done first.

Explanation:

In the case shown in Q 2. it shows a situation that must be evaluated carefully and must take into account how the parents and the boy feel and what makes them act the way they do. Only communication between them can resolve this situation. It is important for the boy to explain why he is acting this way, how important it is for his parents to listen to him without judgment and for everyone to accept and try to change his mistakes.

Q 3. talks about “Daily Private Victory”, which are victories that bring personal satisfaction to an individual. This satisfaction need not be resilient to great things, but small situations that happen in the individual's life and allow him to be satisfied with himself and the environment around him.

Charra [1.4K]

The sentence that is the most subjective summary of a story is:  her reactions to others suggest that the protagonist is a strong and self-assured young woman.
