The Great Awakening Revivals In American History

The Great Awakening Revivals In American History
Bernard Pyron
HTML https://www.thoughtco.com/great-awakening-of-early-18th-cen…
"The Great Awakening of 1720-1745 was a period of intense
religious revivalism that spread throughout the American
colonies."
"There was a feeling among believers that established religion
had become complacent. This new movement emphasized an
emotional, spiritual, and personal relationship with God."
"That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is
born of the Spirit is spirit.
7. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
8. The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound
thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it
goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit." John 3: 6-8
Romans 12: 2 says "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye
transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what
is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God."
Transformed is a translation of
μεταμορφου`
3;θε,
or metamorphosthe - a metamorphosis, "a change of the form or
nature of a thing or person into a completely different one."
"Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old
things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." II
Corinthians 5: 17
Galatians 6: 15-16 says "For in Christ Jesus neither
circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new
creature. 16. And as many as walk according to this rule, peace
be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God."
Then, Colossians 1: 26-27 tells us "Even the mystery which hath
been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made
manifest to his saints: 27. To whom God would make known what is
the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles;
which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:"
The hope of glory is to have Jesus Christ in you.
These New Testament scriptures quoted above emphasize spiritual
transformation by the Holy Spirit in Christ and him in you. They
also emphasize a personal relationship with Christ.
The individual is raised up by Christ, and there is not an
emphasis upon the collective, the church. There is also not an
emphasis upon the issues of a systematic church theology such as
arguments over the idea that God now has two peoples, Old
Covenant Israel and the Church.
"By the early 18th century, the New England theocracy clung to a
medieval concept of religious authority."
"Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight
thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre,
but of a ready mind; 3. Neither as being lords over God's
heritage, but being ensamples to the flock." I Peter 5: 2-3
In the Roman Catholic Church, the clergy class ruled over the
beliefs of the congregations, and also over their behavior to
some extent.
The quote above about the New England theocracy clinging to a
medieval religious authority implies that the Protestant Puritan
Church in New England had come to a point in which it was not
following I Peter 5: 2-3, but the Clergy class was acting as
lords over God's heritage.
"The Great Awakening movement divided longstanding denominations
such as the Congregational and Presbyterian churches and created
an opening for new evangelical strength in Baptists and
Methodists. That began with a series of revival sermons from
preachers who were either not associated with mainstream
churches, or who were diverging from those churches.
Most scholars date the beginning of the revival era of the Great
Awakening to the Northampton revival which began in the church
of Jonathan Edwards in 1733. Edwards gained the post from his
grandfather, Solomon Stoddard, who had exercised a great deal of
control over the community from 1662 until his death in 1729. By
the time Edwards took the pulpit, though, things had slipped;
licentiousness prevailed particularly with young people. Within
a few years of Edward's leadership, the young people by degrees
"left off their frolics" and returned to spirituality.
Edwards who preached for close to ten years in New England
emphasized a personal approach to religion. He bucked the
Puritan tradition and called for an end to intolerance and unity
among all Christians. His most famous sermon was "Sinners in the
Hands of an Angry God," delivered in 1741. In this sermon, he
explained that salvation was a direct result of God and could
not be attained by human works as the Puritans preached."
Another leader of the Great Awakening was George Whitefield. He
traveled and preached at many different churches - and spread
the Great Awakening around the Colonies. Whitefield was probably
the model for the Circuit Riding preachers who were to come on
the American Frontier.
"The orthodox Puritan colonies were societies of status and
subordination, with the ranks of men arranged in strict
hierarchies. Lower classes were subservient and obedient to a
class of spiritual and governing elite, made up of upper-class
gentlemen and scholars. The church saw this hierarchy as a
status that was fixed at birth, and the doctrinal emphasis was
placed on the depravity of (common) man, and the sovereignty of
God as represented by his church leadership."
"While a great unifier among the people living in the American
colonies, this wave of religious revivalism did have its
opponents. Traditional clergy asserted that it fomented
fanaticism and that the emphasis on extemporaneous preaching
would increase the number of uneducated preachers and downright
charlatans."
The Great Awakening unified the American colonies and
contributed to the Protestant culture of individual freedom and
of individual rights given by God - as in Isaiah 10: 1-2.

"The Second Great Awakening in 1801 exploded in all its divine
glory in The Second Great Awakening in 1801 exploded in all its
divine glory in Appalachia at a Scots - Irish Presbyterian
communion service at Cane Ridge, Kentucky. In this backwoods log
church, one-tenth of the population of Kentucky came by foot,
wagon and horseback to the astonishment of the pastor of the
church, Barton Stone. Between 20,000 to 30,000 not only came but
stayed for seven days! Even the Governor of Kentucky attended.
at a Scots - Irish Presbyterian communion service at Cane Ridge,
Kentucky. In this backwoods log church, one-tenth of the

the Governor of Kentucky attended."
The Great Awakening broke down denominational and sectional
divisions in American Colonial society. creating a greater sense
of common American cultural and theological identity.
And the Great Awakening moved Americans closer to a united
single religious view, which was a Protestant view with emphasis
upon the individual with his God-given rights and freedoms. This
more unified Protestant view and culture existed in the United
States to a great extent until it began to be weakened by
Transformational Marxist ideologies, not called Marxist, which
might be dated from the publication of the book, The
Authoritarian Personality in 1950 by Frankfurt School Theodor
Wiesengrund; Adorno.
Adorno was not the only original Frankfurter School Marxist to
be given a post in a major American University. Herbert Marcuse
was an original Frankfurter School Transformational Marxist who
held forth from Brandeis University. Theodor W. Adorno promoted
his Marxism from the University of California at Berkeley. And
so Transformational Marxism, not called Marxism, but sometimes
called "Critical Theory" has been promoted in America by the
major universities since 1950. Transformational Marxism, called
the New Left, was part of the Counterculture, especially of the
Counterculture during the seventies.
One of the founders of the Frankfurt School of Transformational
Marxism, Georg Lukacs, talked about "Abolishment of Culture."
Lukacs knew that Christianity had created a dominant culture in
the West which made the individual important and that culture
saw each individual as being unique, to be honored as such.
The Great Awakening Revivals of the 18th century had helped to
create a unified American Protestant religion which stressed the
individual and his rights and freedoms.
But that Protestant Individualism was exactly what made it very
difficult to establish Marxist collectivism and totalitarian
government in the United States. Marxism had to get rid of that
Christian - and family based - culture which made the individual
outstanding, and replace it by a collectivist group oriented
culture. Marxism - Transformational Marxism - had to reduce the
spiritual power of the Christian Gospel in order to bring in a
collectivist group-centered culture. The spiritual power of the
Gospel of Christ was shown in the revivals of the Great
Awakening.
And so church theologies which could diminish to some extent the
spiritual power of the Gospel to change people might help set
the stage for an influence from Marxism in the U.S.
In the history of the American Frontier the Scots-Irish played a
role in helping to create the religion and culture of the Great
Awakening and also to help create the unique American
Birthright.

Moreover, the claim that Trump is out to "reverse centuries of
American tradition," asserted by the likes of John Yoo and
Angelica Alvarez, is bunk. As far as anyone can tell,
unrestricted birthright citizenship for all children born on
U.S. soil began sometime in the mid-1960s, not "centuries" ago.

Such children are American citizens by birthright. In these
circumstances, Canadian laws are similar to those of the United
States.
The Birthright Citizenship issue is really not what is meant by
the American Birthright. The idea that individual rights are
given by God and are absolute and not subject to compromise is
the basis of the American Birthright.
Now the Marxist Left is threatening that American Birthright
created in part by the Scots-Irish frontiersmen.
But look at what comes up when the same statement is entered
into www.google.com, the search engine of the Silicon Valley
Internet monopoly.

Note that the Google search engine does not list in its first
few links any article on the American Birthright, as defined by
its foundation in individual rights and freedoms given by God.
Is this because Google is leaning to the Left, while
www.duchduckgo.com is not as Leftist as Google?
www.duckduckgo.com did list in its first links two or three
links to "American Birthright."
And Andrew Jackson was Scots-Irish not Irish. There is a big
difference.
The Scots-Irish were not necessarily part Irish. They were
originally Celts from the Lowlands of Scotland who first
migrated to Northern Ireland, and then went to the United States
where they tended to become people of the Frontier in the
Appalachian Mountain areas of Virginia, North Carolina,
Tennessee, and they headed southwest to Texas.
Because the Scots-Irish were a fairly numerous early American
Ethnic Group who were not part of the elite, but were an
energetic people, they were able to leave their influence as
Frontiersmen on the American culture. Historians Frederick
Jackson Turner and Walter Prescott Webb pointed out that the
culture of the American Frontier left its influence on the
American culture of the 19th and 20th centuries. This influence
was in part from the Scots-Irish.
