Thological and philosophical critics of Mormonism often focus on their rejection of the doctrine of creation out of nothing, as if the Mormon relationship to traditional theology is merely negative. What critics miss is the flip side of this rejection, namely, the affirmation of the eternity of matter and how this affirmation functions as the philosophical foundation for a&lt;br /&gt;
dramatic revision of the pre-existence of Jesus Christ. &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;webbBook&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{BYUS|author=Stephen H.
