		<description><![CDATA[I finally started reading that copy of Truman Madsen&#8217;s Eternal Man that has been sitting on my bookshelf for the last couple of years. Eternal Man is an interesting little set of short theology and philosophy essays aimed at laymen. It was published in 1966. In the second chapter of the book Madsen makes the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On Matt&#8217;s &#8220;crazy things you believe&#8221; thread several people mentioned that they don&#8217;t believe there are actually three degrees of glory, but instead see the three degrees of glory from D&#038;C 76 as being symbolic of an infinite gradation of glory in the world to come (as Matt suggested in #5 of the original post).

		<description><![CDATA[Questions like this one don&#8217;t create any anxiety for me these days. I blame it on my creeping universalism. By creeping universalism I mean this: I just can&#8217;t bring myself to believe in permanent divine punishment anymore. I know some people believe in it and I don&#8217;t begrudge them their beliefs &#8212; I just think [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the most prominent and appealing concepts throughout our religion is that of continual eternal progression. Another important concept in our religion is the eternal nature of matter as opposed to ex nihilo creation. I would venture to say that these two concepts are widely agreed upon among all my co-religionists. Some other concepts [...]]]></description>

On that thread, Mark made the following comment and I mentioned my intention to dedicate an entire post to the same point: Knowledge of possible futures does not seem to be much of an [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Eric recently asked me how final I think â€œfinalâ€ judgment is. The short answer is that I donâ€™t think final judgment is very final, at least not in the traditional sense. There is nothing too earth shattering about this; the term â€œfinal judgmentâ€ is not scriptural to begin with. There are, however, lots of scriptural [...]]]></description>

The two track Question: If Spirits are without beginning, God has always been God, and Time is Infinite, Why did God wait forever(an infinite amount of time) to begin the Plan of Salvation?
