Why does the devil, and his comrades, godless people and fallen angels hate the Puritans so much?
In their day, the Puritans were despised for drinking too much, for having too much fun, for being too intelligent and influential, and for wearing clothing that was deemed too stylish.
But I think the biggest reason the Puritans were so particularly hated in the 17th and 18th centuries, is because they insisted that people should love God and hate their sin. The real problem people had with them was not their avante-gard lifestyle, but rather their insistence that Jesus Christ should be exalted, and sin was just not to be tolerated.
As soon as a church gets away from the Puritan ideal, it's all downhill from there.
So, I ask you: do you have any legitimate reason to loathe the Puritans? If you do, I would like to know what it might be.
The Forum for Ecclesiocentricity is designed to educate Christians and non-Christians alike to understand the Biblical teaching concerning the Church (the "Puritan" church in particular), with regard to its principal role on the earth. When this is achieved, it is hoped that the Church would then be in a better position to convey Christ's redemptive virtues to the civil government (state), and the family.
