Question

What does Edwards mean when he says that sinners “hang by a slender thread”?

Sinners must climb that thread if they hope to reach heaven.

There is little that protects sinners from God’s fury.

Prayer is the thread that connects the devout to God.

God’s fury is like a sharp, pointed needle.

Answer 1

B) There is little that protects sinners from God's fury.

Step-by-step explanation:

At noon, not even the keenest eyes can see the arrows of death as they float through the air. Nothing suggests that God has to be "hanging by a thread" at the cost of people's lives in order to remove evil men from the world and send them to hell; God has so many different and unsearchable methods of doing this.
