Minecraft Feels

 Minecraft feels different now. I see why people are drawn to the beta versions of the game. I understand it now. There's lore in place in a game that was originally about block building. Why put lore into a game where all you do is chop down trees and build things out of them? Sure the monsters were there in the beginning, but that gave you something to do at night if you wanted to. Now there are things like the Warden and Phantom that comes out at night if you haven't slept. Sure they give you a way to turn these entities off which is nice, but still it's just not the Minecraft that I came to know and love.

I began playing Minecraft around version 1.8 (NOT beta) it was right before the combat update. I found it to be an amazing game. I wonder why they would need to add all of these unnecessary things to it. I don't know. It's annoying at best.

I took a screenshot of a world newly generated. It's beautiful as all get out.


There she is...with the beach and the calm water,. Fish probably swimming around in that water somewhere. A tree in the distance waiting to be harvested for a crafting table or whatever tool is needed. Yes those were the times to play Minecraft. I might go back to version 1.7.3 myself and take a peek.

An Opposition In All Things

Long has been the story told about how there must be an opposition in all things. From the pre-existence there was Satan, Lucifer the Son of the Morning. In the beginning we were with God in his presence. We learned all we could while there. Until the moment we couldn’t progress any more, we were unable to become like God. So, we were given the opportunity to come to Earth to gain a body. A Savior would be provided to atone for our sins enabling us to come back to the presence of God. The idea that an opposition must be in all things comes from 2nd Nephi: For it must needs be, that there is an opposition in all things. If not so, my firstborn in the wilderness, righteousness could not be brought to pass, neither wickedness, neither holiness nor misery, neither good nor bad. Wherefore, all things must needs be a compound in one; wherefore, if it should be one body it must needs remain as dead, having no life neither death, nor corruption nor incorruption, happiness nor misery, neither...

Temptation Bible vs Book of Mormon

In the Bible in 1 Corinthians 10:13 we find: There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able ; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. But what might seem as a contradiction is found in Alma 13:28 But that ye would humble yourselves before the Lord, and call on his holy name, and watch and pray continually, that ye may not be tempted above that which ye can bear , and thus be led by the Holy Spirit, becoming humble, meek, submissive, patient, full of love and all long-suffering; So, which is it? Either God tempts you to a point and stops, or you have to actively pray not to be tempted beyond that no return point. Which is it?
