stages of the

process:

The text outlines
the need for an
empirical
approach that
examines the
various stages of
diversification to
 understand its
impact on

of statistical
techniques to
address issues
such as sample

endogeneity.
3. "After

This sentence
presents a key
finding,
suggesting that
diversification
initially

uses contractions Sinners in the Jonathan Wicked individuals
Hands of an Edwards currently bear the same
Angry God anger and wrath of God
as those in hell. Their
avoidance of immediate
damnation is not due to
God's lack of anger
towards them at that
moment; rather, God's
wrath burns against
them. Their
condemnation is certain,
and their punishment is
impending. The devil
awaits the opportunity
to claim them as his
own when God permits.
Wickedness festers
within them, ready to
ignite into hellish
torment if not restrained
by God.

Wicked people are

spared from hell only by
God's discretion. Their
exclusion from
damnation isn't due to a
lack of divine anger, as
many in hell endure
God's wrath. In fact,
God may be more
wrathful towards some
on Earth, even those in
this congregation who
seem at ease, than those
already in hell. God's
awareness of their
wickedness doesn't
 prevent their
punishment.
uses a rhetorical question Sinners in the Jonathan 1. "So that it is
Hands of an Edwards not because
Angry God God is
unmindful of
their
wickedness, and
does not resent
it, that he does
not let loose his
hand and cut
them off." -
This is a
rhetorical
question because
it is used to
emphasize that
God's delay in
punishing the
wicked is not
due to His
forgetfulness or
lack of
awareness of
their sins. It
serves to
underscore the
idea that God is
fully aware of
their wickedness
and His decision
to withhold
punishment is
deliberate.
2. "God is not
altogether such
an one as
themselves,
though they
may imagine
him to be so." -
This rhetorical
question is
employed to
challenge the
 mistaken
perception some
may have about
God. It suggests
that people may
wrongly imagine
God to be like
themselves in
terms of
character or
disposition. It
prompts readers
to consider the
distinction
between God
and human
beings.
3. "The wrath of
God burns
against them,
their
damnation does
not slumber;
the pit is
prepared, the
fire is made
ready, the
furnace is now
hot, ready to
receive them;
the flames do
now rage and
glow." - While
not a direct
question, this
statement is
composed of
several rhetorical
elements that
emphasize the
imminence of
God's judgment.
The repetition of
phrases like "the
pit is prepared"
and "the flames
 do now rage and
glow" creates a
rhetorical effect
that underscores
the urgency of
the situation.
4. "The devil
stands ready to
fall upon them,
and seize them
as his own, at
what moment
God shall
permit him." -
This rhetorical
question
highlights the
constant danger
faced by the
wicked. It
suggests that the
devil is poised to
take possession
of them as soon
as God allows,
making the
reader
contemplate the
imminent threat.
