		<description><![CDATA[Remember that mini parable they used to teach in church about a delicious cupcake (or cookie or whatever) being just right except for that one nasty ingredient (cockroach, rabbit poo, or whatever)? The moral of the story was that the old &#8220;it is fine except for that one scene/lyric/part&#8221; excuse just won&#8217;t do. Well the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Our regular readers know that I have recently been teeing off on Calvinism around these parts in posts and comment threads. Of course in those discussions various Calvinists have tried to defend Calvinism in spite of the narcissistic and cruelly sadistic God it paints. After not having much logical ground to stand on in their [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I face sort of an odd situation in my life. You see, I don&#8217;t believe the future exists yet, nor do I believe it can be clearly or completely determined, and yet some of what I would consider my highest level spiritual experiences had to do with God giving me what seemed like foreknowledge of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Awhile back I posted on God&#8217;s decision making process and examined some reasons that foreknowledge does not render decision making trivial. 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[Sorry for the rambling nature of this. It&#8217;s been going through my head all day, and I post it now, incomplete as it is. The Doctrine and Covenants contains an interesting parable that I noticed for the first time this morning. It&#8217;s short, and basically, Christ asks his children (all of us) to &#8220;esteem his [...]]]></description>

Here is the answer for the day: No. For those of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Recently, a series of comments on different threads and from different people has convinced me that far more people believe that God lives outside of time than I would have suspected. I think the idea of a timeless God is a-scriptural and unworkable in the context of Mormon theology. The problems I see with divine [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is no secret that Open Theists read scriptures with different operative principles of interpretation than those who maintain classical theology. Open theists generally argue that scriptural passages demonstrate that God changes his mind, relents, repents or feels sorrow for things that have occurred. If they are correct, then at least to the extent such [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I distinctly remember trying to come up with the biggest number as a child. I would say something like one-hundred-trillion-billion-quazillion, and then my older brother would torment me by saying one-hundred-trillion-billion-quazillion-and-one. I canâ€™t wait to torment my kids with that when they get to the right age. The age where that works is fleeting. At [...]]]></description>
