I was on my couch, watching television as the show I was watching went to commercial break. A few commercials in there was one commercial where if you had a specific code on the inside of your box of Fruit Loops you could win the chance to meet Aaron Rodgers. Since Aaron Rodgers was my favorite NFL player I thought it might be a good idea to buy some boxes of that kind of cereal just to see if I would win, so I told my parents about the commercial I saw and said I could buy as many cereal boxes as I wanted as long as I ate all the cereal in each box. Hearing those words from my parents mouths sparked an idea in my head which was, what if I gave cereal to friends for them to eat in the morning, so I could go through cereal boxes faster than if I ate them all by myself. The next day it was saturday, so I asked my dad to drive me to the commissary located on Fort Belvoir, and as soon as I entered the store I got a cart and sprinted to the the cereal box section.

I opened the next one, and the next, and the next and when I opened the last box… there it was, the winning

Jonathan Edwards version of God was very aggressive and unforgiving. Insult after continuing insult, this does not seem like the Jesus Christ with the wonderful forgiving spirit. With the words, “God hates you,” repeated multiple times throughout the sermon, it is truly hypocritical that the God described as forgiving and loving of all would say “I hate you,” every five minutes.
