In "sinners," Edwards says the sinners haven't gone to hell yet because
God hasn't permitted
Answer: because God has not allowed this to happen.
Explanation:
According to Jonathan Edwards' sermon "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God", the only thing that prevents the sinners from falling into hell is God's hand that is holding them. The intention of Edward with his sermon is to make the audience be afraid of God so they stop with their bad behaviour.
