Faithful, Christian, and Encounter with Talkative: Puritan John Bunyan's Pilgrim’s Progress Lecture - Tom Sullivan John Bunyan wrote The Pilgrim's Progress in two parts, of which the first appeared at London in 1678,which he had begun during his imprisonment in 1676. The second part appeared in 1684. The earliest edition in which the two parts were combined in one volume came out in 1728. A third part falsely attributed to Bunyan appeared in 1693. The Pilgrim's Progress is the most successful allegory ever written, and like the Bible has been extensively translated into other languages. In this lesson the conversation is continued between Faithful and Christian. Faithful recounts his interaction with Adam the First, Moses, Discontent, and then they both encounter Talkative. It includes an introduction to Jonathan Edwards on The Religious Affections, what are NOT signs that a person has holy affections. http://www.puritanaudiobooks.net/ SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/user/stack45ny Puritan Reformed Audiobooks playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLzOwqed_gET1LMZlDNOqxx58LREHCiLsD SHOWING WHAT ARE NO CERTAIN SIGNS THAT RELIGIOUS AFFECTIONS ARE GRACIOUS, OR THAT THEY ARE NOT. That religious affections are very great, or raised very high, is no sign That they have great effects on the body, is no sign III. That they cause those who have them to be fluent, fervent, and abundant, in talking of the things of religion, is no sign That persons did not excite them of their own contrivance and by their own strength, is no sign That they come with texts of Scripture, remarkably brought to the mind, is no sign That there is an appearance of love in them, is no sign VII. Persons having religious affections of many kinds, accompanying one another, is no sign VIII. That comforts and joys seem to follow awakenings and convictions of conscience, in a certain order, is no sign That they dispose persons to spend much time in religion, and to be zealously engaged in the external duties of worship, is no sign That they much dispose persons with their mouths to praise and glorify God, is no sign That they make persons that have them exceeding confident that what they experience is divine, and that they are in a good estate, is no sign XII. That the outward manifestations of them, and the relation persons give of them, are very affecting and pleasing to the godly, is no sign. -~-~~-~~~-~~-~- Please watch: "What Do You Want? - Oswald Chambers / Christian Devotional / My Utmost for His Highest" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DDzA9Ymtck -~-~~-~~~-~~-~-
