Question

read the excerpt from sinners in the hands of an angry god. they are now the objects of that very same anger and wrath of god, that is expressed in the torments of hell. and the reason why they dont go down to hell at each moment, is not because god, in whose power they are, is not then very angry with them; as angry as he is with many of those miserable creatures now tormented in hell, who there feel and bear the fierceness of his wrath. yea, god is a great deal more angry with great numbers that are now on earth; yea, doubtless with many that are now in this congregation, who it may be are at ease, than he is with many of those that are now in the flames of hell. based on the excerpt, which statement best describes edwardss opinion, as a minister, of the members of his congregation? they had lived devout christian lives and would be saved. they had pleased god with their membership in the congregation. they had angered god and were in danger of damnation. they had never learned about the teachings of jesus and needed to do so.
