"People enter hell trough no fault of their own" is true.

Opening I would just like to start off by saying that you too are intelligent and seem to know what you are talking about. I can tell you are way more intelligent than I in logic, but I still hope I can bring about an interesting debate on the topic. I apologize if my argument seems to have shifted, it's just the way I have worded everything has changed with new developments. Causation…? So, keeping in mind Causal Determinism and the fact that law doesn’t disprove the existence of free will, let’s start with responding to situations. I would have to say that, you are correct. There are factors out of our control in situations, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t in the hands of other individuals. Now, on a deeper note, where do thoughts come from? Why do we have them? Why do we feel the need for justice? If we think thoughts, where do they come from? Now, I realize there are two sides to the question I am about to ask, I acknowledge that fact. Is it possible our thoughts are supernaturally affected? In the sense that there are forces of “good and evil” that affect our thoughts. What is the cause of such thoughts? My opponent would say that “it is beyond our control”. So whose control is it in? What person or things or forces, supernatural or natural, is behind our thoughts? The thing that makes up our opinions, the thing that makes up everything we are and what we do. What is the source of our thoughts? If it is not natural, what is it? Neurons fire in our brain, but why does that result in what we think? If “something can’t come from nothing”, where do they come from? The Condition of Souls vs. Having two Souls First, when has there ever been two souls in the exact same situation? To have two souls in the exact same situation, you would have to have the exact same person, since the only person who had the exact same upbringings, personality, genes, situation, etc. is you. So, the result would be the exact same, since the people think exactly the same, and on wouldn’t do something the other would since they are the same person, same soul. I mean by that statement that the “soul” humans have is no different than anyone else really, we all see what we see through our eyes, feel with our skin, breath with our lungs, how we live is no different. The soul is no different in that regard, in which having a soul would be the same in anyone, but this does NOT mean the condition of the soul is different. For example, as the body is hurt by smoking, those conditions are impacted on the soul as well. I believe that people’s perspectives on a soul are different, as no one has seen one, but that means nothing, since we can’t see the wind or feel or see space (like, empty space, you only see what’s behind it), and my personal belief of our soul is a “double” of us living inside, that records everything we do, say, and think, for later examination. When we die, our body will decompose and return to dust, but our soul will face judgment for what is found on and in it. People have different opinions on such a matter, but that is my personal belief. And again, I do not see a physical situation where such a matter would happen. Provide me a situation, but be wary because two souls are the same in one regard, but you will never find two people with the same condition of the soul. Why? No two people with different conditions of the soul will respond to every previous event (not everyone goes through the same events) the exact same, as the condition of our soul is ours and ours alone, since no situation can reach a point of 100% resemblance to even test such a theory due to the progression of time (New technologies, outdated ones, etc.) Which, like fingerprints, will never theoretically produce an exact copy, because if it did, theoretically they would react the exact same because if the souls had the EXACT same condition, they would react the same since they think exactly alike. Finally, the Prison vs. Hell controversy. I frequently compare Hell and Prison because I think of them as kind of similar places. For example, their purposes are to keep the transgressors away from those who abide by the law. This is where the condition of the soul comes in. John 14:23 (NIV),”Jesus replied,’If anyone loves me, he will obey my teaching. My Father will love him and we will come to him and make our home with him.” Why do I quote this? There are countless conditions of the soul, but they fall under two categories in the end, they love Jesus or they do not. I’m not trying to get theological, but when talking about Hell, I believe there is need of a bit of the Bible since that is where we get the Christian “depiction” (if you will) of Hell. While the purpose of Hell is nearly the same as prison, Hell exists as a punishment for transgression, not as a correctional facility. Why? Because the time on Earth was given to the people so they have a choice on how they are going to live. “Outside Factors” you may say come into play, but in the end, it comes down to whoever chooses to listen and repent of “sin” (meaning changing from actions the Christian God finds detestable [side note: God never said he hates anyone, but he does say he hates the ways of people. Again, he doesn’t hate the people, he hates their sin] and listening to the ways of Jesus, as in John 14:23). While prison is not 100% effective in dealing their punishment, as sometimes guards can be bribed for better treatment, people escape, and people serve their sentence yet do not change, meaning that the transgressors get back among and mingle amongst the law abiders. This is where the eternal punishment kind of makes a little sense, since people got the chance on Earth but chose not to listen (which choosing to listen is 100% a choice of ours, regardless of upbringing and such, the choice of listening is ours.), but since they did not listen, they are kept away in the darkness they chose to flee to, away from those who did listen. Hell has a 100% effectiveness rate since none can escape and none can have a termination of their sentence, meaning that for the rest of eternity, those deemed righteous by the blood of Jesus in God’s judgement (sinners who accepted and lived out Jesus’ words) will be kept forever separate in “paradise” as it is described from those who transgressed the law and did not listen, without sentence termination, forever separating those who fled to purity from those who fled to transgression. Meaning: In our prison system today, while some do change, many are released from their sentence and are allowed to mingle among the law abiding people, causing chaos and trouble. In conclusion, All it takes to avoid Hell is listening then living. Regardless of how we act, if we do not listen, there will be no learning from actions and mistakes. Listening is our choice, it is not something that comes and goes or an event that people do not have any control over the factors. In a way, you could say the only way to Hell is not listening, and listening is the only way to heaven (at least, in the Christian Religion. Listening also means believing what the Bible says, hence, why it is often called “God’s Word” among Christians. Not only because that is what we believe God to have spoken through people, but those are the words we must listen to.). Summary- I agree not every interaction is not necessarily in our control, but it is in someones. For example, what is the cause of our thoughts? (see about the brain in the section). The Condition of the Soul is what determines entrance into heaven or hell, as if (in my belief of the “state” of the soul), which the evidence of such condition would only be found in the actions of someone. The things leading to such actions would be a result of refusing to or listening to [the truth] (as Christians think/know/believe it to be). The action of listening is a controllable action, so regardless of other actions, it comes down to one of the few controlled things. (apologies again for any mishaps).
