There are mods, though. They closed the how to get to hell topic. Their modding is inconsistent.

PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO READ THIS. IT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT THING YOU COULD EVER DO AND IT ONLY TAKES A FEW MINUTES.

ARE YOU 100% SURE THAT IF YOU DIED TODAY THAT YOU WOULD GO TO HEAVEN?

There are some things that you should know:

1. Realize that you are a sinner and in need of a Savior:

Ro 3:23 "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;"

Ro 3:10 "As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:"

This all began with the story of Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden. God created them perfect, there was no death or sorrow. God told them not to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. They disobeyed God and as a result, sin entered into the world. The pain which this world sees is the result of sin.

2. Because of our sins, we die both spiritually and physically, but God sent His Son to die so that you can have a chance not to have to go to hell by accepting what He did on the cross for you:

Ro 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."

Ro 5:8 "But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. for us."

Every person who has ever lived is a sinner and is not righteous because we do bad things. A sin is a crime against God, just as if you steal something at the store, it is punishable by going to jail. It's the same thing with sin. Even if we lie one time, the punishment is hell, which is a prison for those who commit crimes against God. That’s because you must be perfect in order to get to heaven. No matter how well you live your life from then on, you have already committed a sin which will be punished if you are not pardoned. If you commit a crime, and then live as a good citizen you still will go to jail for the crime you committed. Right? Just as the president can pardon a crime so you won't go to jail, Jesus can pardon your sins so that you do not go to hell, and can go to heaven when you die.

xfrodobagginsx:

Your use of the scriptures is accurate, but your beliefs about heaven and hell leaves me with some questions. You mentioned that the punishment for sin is hell and that hell "is a prison for those who commit crimes against God." Exactly why sort of prison are you referring to? Specifically, what is your understanding of the type of place hell is, as used in the Bible?

I have some more questions for you, based upon what you said in your opening post, but I will ask those at another time.

He has tendency to repeat the same things over, and over, and over.

In this case I am repeating that the modding is inconsistent over and over because I am bringing awareness to the fact that the hell topic was closed but this one remains open.

Personally I don't care that the hell topic was closed but in the context of this thread being open, the modding is clearly inconsistent.

And I only bring up that fact because every now and then Widow will talk about abiding by the "forum decorum."

If he wants to say we should all abide by the "forum decorum" then I'd like to see an acknowledge that the modding in this case is inconsistent.

If you are unable to acknowledge that point, then you are not able to properly identify a clear circumstance of inconsistency, which of course has ramifications for the overall ability for someone to analyze other cases in politics and etc.
