I grew convinc'd that truth, sincerity and integrity in dealings between man and man were of the utmost importance to the felicity of life; and I form'd written resolutions, which still remain in my journal book, to practice them ever while I lived.
This is an example of a rationalist because the way they are saying they convinced that truth, that to me is saying he just happened and no one forced it.

- Have confidence
- pick very ingenious acquaintances
- take classes to be an experet in pshycology
- Trust
- Think before taking action
- respect others
- reach my goal
I feel like i could reach moral perfection from the things that are on my list above. Most of the things that i listed are some things that i lack, and i need improvement in. I think most of all is me setting a goal beause i havent set one yet and i think it's something good to do, to know what you are trying to finish and reach. I believe i have more confidence then anything else because i knw who i am and where i am trying to go, and what i believe in. Trust is a big issue for me because everytime i put my trust in someone they always end up betraying me and hurting my feeling so after a while i stoped trusting. So i believe those are things that would improve me.

My respond
The Puritans
The Puritans is kind of different from what I believe in. What I have been taught is that god died for everyone and not for certain people. He loves and forgives everyone regardless of there sin.
The puritans believe the opposite of that, and I really don’t believe there beliefs because I don’t think that god would die for some people and let the others go to hell.
They thought that everyone was born a sinner because of Adam and eve. They believed that it was no way to earns god grace; it was up to saints to interpret the word of god. “Whatever prayers a man make wouldn’t matter until he believes in Christ god is under no manner of obligation to keep him a moment from eternal destruction.”
The Plymouth plantation is more about people living in the 16 hundreds. The way they used to live was very different from how we live now, they were traveling by a boat and the boat was not in good shape to sail the sea like they were. They sailed a few miles on the coast of Italy. They sailed to where they were separated from the civil parts of the world.
When they talked with the Indians about they can’t hurt anymore of their people and if they did do it the offender would punish them. They shouldn’t take anything and if they did they would have to replace it and do as they say. Mainly there saying that if you should hurt the other you should aid them (take care of them).

Textual Evidence
Limited Atonement - Jesus died for the chosen only, not for everyone.= I do not think that this fit what god really is i think he died for everyone.
Total Depravity - through Adam and Eve's fall, every person is born sinful.= I dont believe everyone was born with a sin because of adam and eve.

The Puritans Beliefs?
The puritans beliefs were: total Depravity, Unconditional Election, Limited Atonement, Irresistible Grace, Perseverance of the "saints". Unconditional Election is when god died for certain people that he thought deserved it. Total Depravity is when everyone is born sinful. Limited Atonement is when god died on the cross for the select few to forgive them for there sin. Irresistible Grace is where god forgives those he has chosen to forgive when they resisted the gospel. Perseverance of the "saints" is when those whom god has chosen may go against god word, but that would mean they would be turning their backs on god.
