“Further, if they acknowledge that it was created in time, but will never perish in time,—that it has, like number, a beginning but no end,—and that, therefore, having once made trial of misery, and been delivered from it, it will never again return thereto, they will certainly admit that this takes place without any violation of the immutable counsel of God.”
-St. Augustine, The City of God
The dot and the line. Created in time, but will never perish: the human soul has a time when it was not, yet from the point of its creation forward, no time when is shall not be.
