		<description><![CDATA[This post grew out of a need to explain my discomfort with the &#8220;Parable of the Bicycle&#8221;, as well as a complaint from a friend that too often the bloggernacle refers to other older posts and does not leave room for new conversations. Because I do not wish to be critical directly of the faith [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This post is a summary of my third volume &#8212; and also responding to the rather uninformed banter I often hear from evangelicals regarding plurality of gods. My third volume is entitled: Exploring Mormon Thought: Of God and Gods. There are certain concepts that Joseph Smith elucidated at the very end of his life that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Blake Ostler has been a big influence on my thinking since I first ran into one of his papers in Dialogue. After that, I started doing searches in BYU library for all the articles I could find. I remember being very excited when I heard he was putting out his first book (which I devoured [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, I finally am moving on with a little bit more of Ostler, and I&#8217;ve stumbled into a problem. You see, Ostler notes that original sin isn&#8217;t really as the rest of the world has conceived it. However, he does note that entrance into the world does submit us to genetic pre-conditions and the traditions [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In Blake Ostler&#8217;s seminal series on Mormon Thought, he proposes that the purpose of our existence is that God wants to have a peer-relationship with us. A relationship based on &#8220;love&#8221; in the truest sense of the word, where we and God are interdependent on one another for our mutual continued happiness and where we [...]]]></description>

I like sunshine, orange juice, and my life mainly revolves around my 3 year old. I go to church every sunday, have family home evening every week, and daily chastise myself for being not [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Chapter 6 in Blake Ostler&#8217;s new book is titled &#8220;Soteriology in LDS Thought&#8221;. For those of you not familiar with the term Soteriology, it is basically the study of salvation. As the article in Wikipedia puts it: &#8220;A particular stance on what constitutes salvation is thus known as a soteriology.&#8221; This chapter is a little [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As the second part of my discussion of chapter 12 in the second volume of Blake Ostler&#8217;s series of books on Mormon Theology I will deal with the second of two controversial positions Blake takes when reading Joseph Smith&#8217;s King Follett Discourse (KFD) and Sermon in the Grove (SitG). That second position was: 2) While [...]]]></description>

It follows his discussion in chapter 4 of why the doctrine of original sin should be rejected. But rejecting the doctrine of original sin leaves Mormonism with the task of explaining why every one of us [...]]]></description>
