Hello. You forgot to enter the answer options. The options are:

A. Jonathan Edwards doesn’t agree with God’s forgiving nature towards sinners, as he continues to keep them out of hell.

B. Jonathan Edwards supports the ideas conveyed in religious texts that claim that anyone can be spared from hell, no matter their sins.

C. Jonathan Edwards believes that God, angered by sinners’ actions, subjectively controls their fate and eventual bleak end.

D. Jonathan Edwards fears for himself and others, as it’s difficult to predict what will anger God and incite his wrath.

Answer:

B. Jonathan Edwards supports the ideas conveyed in religious texts that claim that anyone can be spared from hell, no matter their sins.

Step-by-step explanation:

Edwards' speech aims to reinforce the need for people to turn to God and abandon sin, because sin can reach anyone's life and drag them into eternal suffering in hell, but only God can reverse that, because only he has the power to free any person from sin and hell, leading any individual to the path of grace and salvation.
